Out Of Chaos Mar 27, 2008
By Merak Eskigian
For those who are interested in new ideas and philosophy, I highly recommend this excellent novel. Mr. Wong is not afraid to challenge basic preconceptions and politically correct norms. He sees the world through fresh eyes and in a much grander scale than most modern writers can hope to achieve.
In vivid and poignant detail, the book, "Out of Chaos", paints a grim picture of what China might look like in the not so distant future if the politically correct views that are accepted in the United States and much of the Western world were adopted by China. Mr. Wong, an obviously brilliant and well-read author/philospher, explains that from a historical and sociological standpoint, the political system that works in the United States would be a disaster for China. Mr. Wong convincingly makes his point through the use of facsinatingly original characters. Interestingly, the lead character is obviously symbolic of China as a whole. In the beginning of the story, he is an illiterate young man raised on a farm, totally lacking in self-confidence, but with immense physical strength and a voracious appetite for learning. We learn that China, notwithstanding its great potential, falls into chaos due to political upheaval caused by various political factions interested only in their own selfish interests rather than the greater good of China. Mr. Wong spins a marvelous and interesting story where the lead character begins an intellectual, moral and ethical growth process. His personal growth is symbolic of what can and should happen for all of China if disasterous in-fighting between various political/ geographical factions can be set aside for the good of the country as a whole.
This was a marvelous and enlightening story. I highly recommend it to all persons interested in seeing the world, and particularly China, in a new and refreshing light.
