- Description:
- Impressions:
Zhang Hongjie’s Millennium Paradox uses a thousand years of Chinese history as a laboratory to explore human nature. Through recurring patterns of ambition, morality, and corruption, the book uncovers paradoxes that define human behavior. Zhang blends narrative storytelling with analytical depth, demonstrating how individuals and societies repeatedly confront similar dilemmas across centuries. Rather than presenting history as a static record, he frames it as a dynamic experiment in survival, power, and ethics. This insightful work challenges readers to reflect on both China’s past and the timeless contradictions of human existence.
