Chinaman
1."Why," the Chinaman exclaimed, "the queer slant of your eyes. Your eyes are off slant!"
2.The real chinaman,we see now,is a man who lives the life of a man of adult reason with the heart of a child.In short the real chinaman is a person with the head of a grown-up man and the heart of a child.The chinese spirit,therefore ,is a spirit of perpetual youth,the spirit of national immortality.Now what the secert of this national immortality in the chinese pepole?
3.Having been working and living in an environment dominated by the English language, my chinese-educated background is often “belittled” either consciously or subconsciously by colleagues or people in the same profession. Some call me a “Chinaman” in jest.
4.You will remeber that in the beginning of this discussion I said that what gives to the chinese type of humanity -to the real chinaman -his inexpressible gentleness is the possession of what I called sympathetic or true human intelligence.This true human intelligence,I said,is the product of a combination of two things,sympathy and intelligence.It is a working togther in harmony of the heart and head.In short it is a happy union of soul with intellect.Now if the spirit of Chinese people is a spirit of perpetual youth,the spiritif national immortality,the secret of this immortality is this happy union of soul with intellect.
