In 1872, China—ravaged by poverty, population growth, and aggressive European armies—sent 120 boys to America to learn the secrets of Western innovation. They studied at New England's finest schools and were driven by a desire for progress and reform. When anti-Chinese fervor forced them back home, the young men had to overcome a suspicious imperial court and a country deeply resistant to change in technology and culture. Fortunate Sons tells a remarkable story, weaving together the dramas of personal lives with the fascinating tale of a nation's endeavor to become a world power.

Chinas viertausendjährige Geschichte ist reich an Kultur, Wissenschaft und Philosophie. Die älteste der großen Weltzivilisationen brachte schon früh eine eigene Schrift hervor. Seit 2000 v. Chr. wurde China von bedeutenden Dynastien regiert, vergleichbar mit europäischen Königshäusern. Die Epoche der großen Dynastien endete 1912 mit der Abdankung des letzten chinesischen Kaisers. Im Jahre 1842 erlangte Großbritannien nach den „Opiumkriegen“ die Kontrolle über Hongkong und die imperialen Großmächte Europas beuteten die Region gezielt aus. China erlebte ein schweres 19. Jahrhundert, welches als Trauma in die chinesische Geschichte einging.

Lange galt China als eine Art sanfter, schlafender Riese. Zwar war das politische System und dessen Menschenrechtsverletzungen nur schwer vereinbar mit westlichen demokratischen Werten, doch man setzte auf das Prinzip »Wandel durch Handel«. China würde sich mit steigendem Wohlstand schon öffnen. Doch das Gegenteil ist eingetreten: China verschließt sich nach außen, hat aber enorm an wirtschaftlichen und politischen Einfluss gewonnen. Bereits seit 2013 schafft die kommunistische Partei mit Krediten, Investitionen und Entwicklungsprojekten neue Absatzmärkte und hat neue Seidenstraßen erschlossen.

Династия Тан — древний влиятельный род, в период правления которого Китай превратился в мощную державу и на нее даже стали равняться правители других государств. Эпоха Тан стала "золотым веком" Китая, когда живопись, поэзия, наука, экономика достигли своего наивысшего расцвета, когда прославилось знаменитое чайное искусство и распространилось множество разных нововведений — от первых механических часов до фейерверков.

However, the company used the excuse of tight finances in the early stages of mining operations to avoid fulfilling its obligations. In February 1920, the land continued to subside.

Os chineses nos intrigam. O regime é comunista, mas a economia é capitalista. Eles ficaram enclausurados durante os quase trinta anos de governo de Mao Tsé-Tung e agora viajam pelo mundo todo e são os maiores usuários de internet do planeta. Quem são, afinal, esses 1,3 bilhão de chineses? Por que a relação do país com o Ocidente—e com os vizinhos—mudou tanto ao longo do tempo? Como esse país milenar, responsável por invenções importantíssimas para a humanidade como o papel e a bússola, pode ser acusado de copiar tecnologias estrangeiras?
