One will never aware of the secret if he is not considering the case from the angle of evolution, that China is competing with the West in a game of country systems. Every nation need to find out the best system to compete in this cruel fight. Yet the system of China is far from perfect. Chinese is suffering of many setbacks in a not perfect system. No one could know when will the system be perfect, or at least, be more reasonable and more easy to handle. Will it be more sensible in a hundred years? One could only guess about that. And there is always a possibility of the failure of the Chinese system, which some people in the West is dreaming of. And if anyone do have a dream like this, they will be excluded from the awareness of a special moment of evolution. They will never know why the Chinese is so successful and why the West are deemed to fail. They will never understand or they will simply refuse to understand. Final  peril is ready for them. You will see naïve young person shouting slogans of democracy in the streets of Hong Kong, and many targeted place in the world, they are simply not able to see the things from the angle of evolution. Yet China is fragile. They are fragile because they are not perfect. If one day the Chinese economy is collapsed, the real essence of the Chinese system will remain unchanged. It is a fate determined by evolution, not by the plans of the West. And the Chinese will stand up again, though centuries will be lapsed in another hundreds of years.

What is the secret of China?

The only secret is they are forming an inner system to organize their people. The Chinese is working like bees or ants,  with inner connection in them. The inner connection within them are far from perfect, and it seems to be not sensible in many ways. Yet it it the basic of China. It is completely not the same as the Western democracy, where the people are loosely connected in a form of not-concern. Every one remained like a single unit in  the democracy system. The Western system is like a brick house. Every one is a brick in the house. Many of the bricks are redundant, and useless. The Chinese way is like a tree. Every one is a cell in the tree. It is only a metaphor here. Many of the cells in China is in a situation no better then the redundant bricks in the West. But we are talking about a trend. The Chinese trend is that they are growing into a tree, yet the West is not growing, but forming in to a more complicated brick system.

And the Chinese way is the only way in the whole world. It is like a new species in the old forest. Not one single country is like China. Will the Indians gain more speed and to compete with the West? Will there be any other country come up like China? The answer is too obvious to mention.

The Chinese are growing in a special form of their language. Though some of the separatists are always stressing the importance of different dialects in China. But they fail to notice the connection power is in the written form of the Chinese language, which is the basic unit of all dialects in China, and the Chinese people can communicate directly with each other through a common spoken Chinese and a written Chinese. And among all the issues in the languages, the ancient written form of Chinese is so important that it is the basic unit of the wisdom of the Chinese culture.

We are talking four things here. The dialect, the written form, the ancient written form and the common spoken form.  (方言，文言，漢字，普通話)

If any one of them is neglected, then the competing power of the Chinese is weakened. It is difficult to comprehend from the external angle of the West, yet it is the only important channel to observe China.

As for the Chinese themselves, one of the crisis is forgetting the ancient written form of Chinese, it is important for wisdom, yet they are neglecting it.
