...The real Chinaman may be coarse,but there is no grossness in his coarseness.The real Chinaman may be ugly,but there is no hideousness in his ugliness.The real Chinaman may be vulgar,but there is no aggressiveness,no blatancy in his vulgarity.The real Chinaman may be stupid,but there is no absurdity in his stupidity.The real Chinaman may be cunning,but there is no deep malignity in his cunning...



It's coming from a very famous book named "THE SPIRIT OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE" which was written by KU HUNG-MING.
