Most of the China-related books that have been published are one sided, either for or against China assuming the role of a responsible country in the community of nations. None has really got it right impartially, yet not afraid to expose China's sensitivities over 5,000 years of continuous existence. "In Search of the Real China" is a personal attempt by the author about what is good or bad, real or false, about China as a nation and people without seeking favour from either.
For the readers of Chinese origin, "Chineseness" is about self-criticism, if they are to be accepted by non-Chinese races worldwide, including non-Han race Chinese within the country. Today's world cannot continue to exist disparately. Soon enough the month of October will have gone past, yet the taken for granted frozen Artic has yet to start freezing to stop causing inundation of other above sea level islands from sinking to oblivion.
Non-Chinese readers, especially in the West, must learn to join hands with Chinese worldwide to bring forth wholesomeness to one and all. Beneath white, yellow, black and brown, all are as vulnerable as demonstrated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Life can only reverse back to an abnormal normal.
He joined the Singapore Government Administrative Service and served variously as Assistant Commissioner for Labour, Commissioner of Oaths, Commissioner of Insurance, Commissioner of Chit Fund, and Commissioner of Singapore in Hong Kong.
His other appointments included operationally within Singapore and abroad with the Foreign Service and Trade Development Board, and several directorships, including the Zoo and Jurong Town Corporation. He retired from active service before the turn of the Millennium.
He has travelled extensively, effectively more than thrice around the world, critically appreciative of diverse peoples and places.
"In Search of the Real China" was first published in print in January 2002 under his pen name of Lin J. Ke. It was overhauled and expanded in early 2020 to include chapters on Teochew (Chaoshan), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet following another round of visits to China, and republished as an ebook in October 2020.
