The Chinese, from the highest to the lowest, have an imperturbable quiet dignity, which is usually not destroyed even by a European education. They are not self-assertive; either individually or nationally; their pride is too profound for self-assertion.
They admit China’s military weakness in comparison with foreign powers, but they do not consider efficiency in homicide the most important quality in a man or a nation. I think that, at bottom, they almost all believe that China is the greatest nation in the world, and has the finest civilization. A Westerner cannot be expected to accept this view, because it is based on traditions utterly different from his own.(2)
But gradually one comes to feel that it is, at any rate, not an absurd view; that it is, in fact, the logical outcome of a self-consistent standard of values.
The typical Westerner wishes to be the cause of as many changes as possible in his environment, the typical Chinese wishes to enjoy as much and as delicately as possible. This difference is at the bottom of most of the contrast between China and the English-speaking world.

We in the West make fetish of "progress" which is the ethical camouflage of the desire to be the cause of changes.
If we are asked, for instance, whether machinery has really improved the world, the question strikes us as foolish; it has brought great changes and therefore great "progress. "(4)
What we believe to be a love of progress is really, in nine cases out of ten, a love of power, an enjoyment of the feeling that by our fiat we can make things different.
For the sake of this pleasure, a young American will work so hard that, by the time he has acquired his millions, he has become a victim of dyspepsia, compelled to live on toast and water, and to be a mere spectator of the feasts that he offers to his guests.(5)
But he consoles himself with the thought that he can control politics, and provoke or prevent wars as may suit his investments. It is this temperament that makes Western nations "progressive".

从上到下的中国人都有着一种沉着而冷静的庄严,通常情况下,即使是欧洲教育也无法将之抹去。无论是作为个人还是整个民族,中国人从不自我表现,因为他们自尊心太强,不屑于自我表现。
