Alongside China's vast material development, there came a change of
its mental habits, largely affected by the technological revolution
in the means of mass communication. This book shows how such a
change has brought - and yet been brought by - a new form of
pictorial thought, essentially sensuous and imagery, which is
suggesting a possible future for the world. Today's China is
different from what it used to be; the Maoist years appear, even to
the official mind, an absurdity; and this difference is evident in
the replacement of the Maoist mass-politics by what should be
called 'Moral politics', which is petty and personal. It is the
moralizing practice that characterizes today's China, when the
birth of so-called 'ordinary people', taken as a collection of
individual authors of their own private lives and personal stories,
became an acknowledged social fact, proliferating in all kinds of
mass media. This study traces the birth of 'ordinary people' to the
beginning of the century, when the reformation of the political in
terms of personal dilemmas or moral groans began. From the
beginning of this century, the moral content of Chinese politics is
more and more fulfilled by such as problems of marriage or sexual
affairs. In other words, this is participant observation of an
affective change in the Chinese mind, where and when sociology
became photographic, i.e. the photographer a natural sociologist,
and the mold of Facebook or Wechat communication has reshaped the
ideographic tradition of its writing system. This is yet another
'Cultural Revolution' on the ruins of the Maoist revolution.
