Description
A New York Times Notable Book of
2022AnbspWasington PostnbspBes Nonfiction
of 2022What does it take to reinvent a
language?After a meteoric rise, China today is
one of the world's most powerful nations. Just a
century ago, it was a crumbling empire with
literacy reserved for the elite few, as the world
underwent a massive technological
transformation that threatened to leave them
behind. In Kingdom of Characters, Jing Tsu argues
that China's most daunting challenge was a
linguistic one the century-long fight to make
the formidable Chinese language accessible to the
modern world of global trade and
digital technology.Kingdom of Characters follows
the bold innovators who reinvented the
Chinese language, among them an exiled reformer
who risked a death sentence to advocate
for Mandarin as a national language, a
Chinese-Muslim poet who laid the groundwork
for Chairman Mao's phonetic writing system, and a
computer engineer who devised input codes for
Chinese characters on the lid of a teacup from
the floor of a jail cell. Without their advances,
China might never have become the dominating
force we know today.With larger- than-life
characters and an unexpected perspective on the
major events of China's tumultuous twentieth
century, Tsu reveals how language is both a
technology to be perfected and a subtle, yet
potent, power to be exercised and expanded.
