* 中国人保持着文明享乐的能力。他们经常自娱、逗笑,在阳光下取乐和讨论哲学。这是工业化的国家所没有的。中国人,包括各阶层的人,比我所了解的任何民族都更喜欢开玩笑。他们在每一件事情上寻找乐趣,而且总是用笑话来缓和争端。
* 典型的西方人希望在所处环境内引起尽可能多的变化;而典型的中国人则希望得到尽可能多而奢侈的享受。西方人与中国人之间这种性格差别,形成根本的鲜明对照。
* 对我们西方人来说,人们渴求金钱,只是把它看作争取权力的工具。政治家追求获得权力,并非看重金钱,因此经常满足于个人寒怆拮据的生活。在中国,权柄在握的官僚们,几乎总是用权去满足自己的唯一欲望——搜刮大量钱财。他们的主要目的是在适当时候身持巨额财富逃往国外安享余年。
* 中国人的“死要面子”,经常使在中国的外国人感到荒唐可笑。然而,中国人仅仅是要求实现与他们社会生活方式相一致的个人尊严。每个人都要“面子”,甚至连社会地位最卑下的乞丐也是如此。如果你不想严重触犯中国人的道德规范,那你就不要使他丢面子,不然你就是在羞辱他。如果你用违反中国道施规则的方式和一个中国人讲话,那他一定会嘲笑你;如果中国人不想把你的行为看作是一种冒犯,那你的话必定被他们当作了笑料。
* 有一次,我认为我教的一些学生不像我期望的那样用功,我就像以前对我的英国学生那样谈了些看法。但我很快发现自己犯了一个错误。这些学生都很不自在地笑了。我对此感到很惊讶,后来我才搞清楚了其中的原因。中国人,甚至那些最文明的人远比我们西方人更讲究客套。
* 然而这种习惯不利于提高效率,更为严重的是不利于在人与人之间建立诚挚而真实的关系。如果我是中国人的话,我将希望减少一点表面客套带来的痛苦。但是,中国人由于遭受西方列强的欺辱已经养成了一种温文尔雅的心性。中国人的彬彬有礼与我们西方人的直率相比,究竟孰优孰劣,我尚不敢断言。
* 在我快要离开中国之前,有一位著名的中国作家诚恳地要求我谈谈中国人性格的主要缺点。我以犹豫的心情谈了三点:贪心,懦弱,缺乏同情心。
About the game:

USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.

In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.

You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).

At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
