Rethinking Chinese Cultural Identity

Focusing on cultural identity, the book introduces "Hualish" as a new label for people of greater Chinese origin, aiming to overcome the limitations of the term "Chinese." It presents the Culture Design Paradigm, which includes vitality, structure, and foci, to shape this new identity. The author outlines three practical approaches—recipe, example, and normative paths—to foster a desirable Hualish identity. Additionally, it emphasizes Humanistic Hualish as a unifying cultural concept, offering guidance for individuals, families, and organizations grounded in academic rigor.
