We are pleased to announce the release of “Warning in a Prosperous Age” 盛世危言 English Edition. We believe is most timely and useful today as it was when written.
This book is a translation of the work “Warning in a Prosperous Age”, also called “Words of Warning in a Prosperous Age”, by Zheng Guanying, an intellectual thinker, industrialist, entrepreneur, and polymath. He was an early proponent of economic nationalism and women’s rights, and an influential thought leader who made substantial contributions to China’s reform and modernization philosophy. The book was well-known, and revolutionary figures such as Sun Yat-Sen and Mao Zedong were influenced by it. It was first published in 1894, then Zheng Guanying modified it in 1900. However, because this book was written in traditional Chinese and never fully translated into a foreign language, most Westerners only know the title and not the content. Despite the addition of ideas from the book by certain scholars recently, these partial translations still fail to reflect the entire depth of the book’s contents. As a result, Mr. Zheng Huashu with the Zheng Guanying descendants decided that a full translation was needed despite the formidable difficulties. The result is the remarkable book that you have now published.
