    Since childhood, Chinese people have long been taught China's rich history which dates back more than 5,000 years. But it wasn't until the archaeological ruins of the city of Liangzhu were found that physical evidence was finally offered to support the claim. Unlike other ancient civilizations now long gone, Chinese civilization has experienced peaks and valleys in its long history but it has never disappeared. What makes China so distinctive? What are the core values of Chinese civilization which have helped the country to endure? And how will these values lead the country into the future?
    Our guest in this edition of Dialogue is Professor Wang Gungwu from the National University of Singapore, who is also an emeritus professor at Australian National University.

    Professor Wang GungWu remains a top notch SUPERSTAR SCHOLAR!!! Love how he 🤔 thinks & communicates.
    Culture is something everyone has.
    Civilization (includes good governance, order , structure etc.) isn’t is always guaranteed.
    Prof Wang GungWu is the EXACT reason why many countries should support scholarship & their scholars. Now that is Civilization!

    Remarkable how Chinese civilization today encompasses hundreds of different cultures. Please see the vlogs of "Little Chinese Everywhere" showing the harmony & prosperity of outlying villages, towns & small cities. The people have their own dialect, holidays, religious beliefs, family traditions, artisan traditions & live together in mutual respect.

    I feel the best in the interview is emphasizing the courage of the civilisation to add new ideas, fearlessly, trusting in their own strength. This they did by taking Buddhist values, later Western values but then making them their own and better. Execution was the strength, and being practical is the real beauty.China needs to go back to its own dress, culture boldly now.

    Chinese people are very cultured people. They valued the teaching of the Great teacher Confucius. ( The main idea of Confucianism is the importance of having a good moral character, which can then affect the world around that person through the idea of “cosmic harmony.” If the emperor has moral perfection, his rule will be peaceful and benevolent) These teachings teaches us to be filial piety, respect others differences.
    In the past there was this great teacher, Buddhist master Da mo ( Bodhidharma was a semi-legendary Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th or 6th century CE. He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China, and is regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. According to a 17th-century apocryphal story found in a manual called Yijin Jing, he began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin kungfu. He is known as Dámó in China and as Daruma in Japan. His name means "dharma of awakening (bodhi)" in Sanskrit.[1]) from India, of dark skin, who departed his knowledge to the Shaolin monks technic on martial art.

    values 的中文應該是「寶貴的信仰」,因為, 單數的value 是「價值」,而多數的values 中的s 卻是 valuable beliefs。故正確的翻譯是 「各寶貴的信仰」。這些信仰有「民主,自由,法治,人權,平等」等等。這些信仰絕不是「價值觀」= 觀察有沒價值。。。中國人翻譯英文成中文,犯的錯誤很多。這「價值觀」就是一個。
    中國文化(Chinese civilization)中的values, 當然更是「中國文化中各種寶貴信仰」,如忠孝仁義等等。絕不是「中國文化中的價值觀」。。。忠孝仁義是中國的價值觀嗎?它們顯然是中國寶貴的信仰。

    Core values for all countries will always be pretty much the same. How that is expressed is often distorted by the corrupt. The Democratic Hierarchy of the Communist Party of China is more accurately expressing the core values of the majority of citizens because of very effective efforts to eliminate corruption, where as in the USA for example core values of the people are just expressed in marketing, a masquerade behind which the corrupt operate. For the majority of people in China and USA the core values are much the same, in China this is expressed in how the government functions and what it achieves, in the USA it has been entirely corrupted and those core values as just expressed as marketing whilst the elite steal everything they can, any way they can, no values at all beyond their own individual ego, lusts and avarice.

      USA is the product of brutal colonization. The core value was profit for the British companies. When Britain decided to actually take the area instead of only plundering it because it was found to be vast & rich, slaughtering of native people became a dedicated priority. Along with that came the necessity of flooding the land with the poor. These people, given the chance to have land (20 acres & a mule), did everything in the interest of themselves. Yes, they banded together to fight the "Indians" or to protect from the elements. But the ideal was one's "private property" to be defended by weapons. Those who got to areas first acquired vast tracts of ranchland for cattle. If they had the manpower & weapons, they could continue to hold these vast areas. The "get rich" values were displayed in the endless rush to find gold & silver in the vast, uncharted land. A man who could "stake a claim" worth lots of money was at the APEX of this civilization. Later the businessman who could anchor his business into a highly valued commodity (oil) or service (train transportation) became wealthy beyond imagination. Always that wealth was tied to the individual. Family was needed to hang onto it. This wealth was then leveraged for monopolization & to buy influence with whatever "leaders" who, themselves were mostly of the wealthy class, holding the same values. "I'm out for number One! (me).

Also from 1949-1976, entire China was trying hard to rebuild the nation from the ground up. People had nothing left, no food eat, no clothes to wear.
