Rediscover America: Insights from a 5,000-Year-Old Civilization
Remember proud America? Factory hum, hard workers' decent jobs, families' cars and countryside weekends-the "Manufacturing Kingdom," cultural lighthouse, global talent's dream.
Is that America still here?
Today, more homeless in cities. Detroit, once "Motor City's" heart, has abandoned factories, empty roads. Strikes, shootings, division persist; global conflicts drain its glory.
What really happened to America?
If you've asked, missed old America, or want its revival-this book is for you.
This Book Is Different
Many books address America's struggles: Friedman (lagging education, aging infrastructure), Fukuyama (institutional decay, "vetocracy"), Huntington (cultural collapse, division). Valid but America-centric.
For a 200-year-old nation in crisis: a new view-from a 5,000-year civilization.
Not a "China model" pitch. For Americans: no copying-show how another civilization solved similar problems (5,000 years of trial).
Nations lacking history gain inspiration-not shame, wisdom. Learning, adapting = great nations' longevity.

Hua, Guoping: -
Guoping Hua was born in Jiangxi, China in 1976 and holds a bachelor's degree from Jiangxi Normal University. In 2020, he published The Gongjian Philosophy: The Spiritual Awakening of Humanity, which for the first time uncovers the deep structure and operational laws of human consciousness. The book features his original theoretical system of the "Eight Attributes of Human Nature"-a framework that clarifies the operational mechanisms of the human spirit and the inherent logic of social development, while offering a comprehensive new approach applicable to real-world fields including economics, education, law, marriage and politics. Ultimately, this theoretical system strives to advance the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations and contribute to the development of a higher-order global human civilization.
