A civilization overturned: How did we get to this point?

Author: Bian Qin

The book "Subverted Civilization" written by Bian Qin deeply explores the impact of Western civilization on China and the potential damage behind it. The book points out that the Chinese may not have realized that while Western blockbusters are conveying the "American Dream" and "European Dream", they are also quietly eroding Chinese civilization through details, distribution channel control, international award manipulation, and media propaganda. This erosion is not only reflected in the superficial cultural impact, but also goes deep into the Chinese way of thinking and values. This book warns readers that they should treat foreign cultures more cautiously, protect and inherit the excellent traditional culture of their own nation, so as not to lose themselves in the tide of globalization and move towards the subversion of civilization. This book has important enlightenment significance for those who care about the fate of Chinese culture.
