The Chinese Secrets for Success by Yukong Zhao

The Chinese Secrets for Success is the first book that reveals the untold secrets behind the rise of China and the success of Asian Americans-"the highest-income, best-educated, and fastest-growing racial group in the US," according to the Pew Research Center. Based on his bicultural living experience, YuKong Zhao shares an "inside view" on how Chinese/Asian Americans successfully raise their children, manage their money, and pursue rewarding careers by applying the following five Confucian values on motivation, education, money management, family, and friendship: Li-zhi: While less successful families just let children follow their interests and pop-culture influences which often limit their future, Confucianism-influenced families encourage children to have big and practical dreams to expand their future. Qin-xue: While less successful families indulge their children with toys and video games, and hand over their children's education to public schools, Confucianism-influenced families demand and actively support their children to pursue an excellent education. Jie-jian: While less successful families borrow to spend, giving away a large portion of their income to Wall Street bankers, Confucianism-influenced families save for rainy days, retirement and investment, wisely building their financial security. Gu-jia: While less successful families simply maintain the family, letting everybody feel good and "be yourself," Confucianism-influenced families manage the family, demanding healthy behaviors and "be better." Ze-you: While less successful families mingle with friends who may ruin their lives, Confucianism-influenced families set high moral standards and select friends who can benefit their lives.
YuKong Zhao is Director of China Business Development at Siemens Energy, Inc. He grew up in a Confucianism-influenced family in China and emigrated to the US in 1992. He is an expert in China strategies and has published an industrial strategy book in China. He was interviewed by Wen Jiabao in 2001, then the Deputy Premier of China, and was featured by the Chinese Central Radio Station in 2004 as a successful Chinese American. His professional and personal activities have provided him with great insight into the successful elements of Chinese and American cultural values. He lives with his wife and two high-achieving, well-rounded school-age children in Orlando, Florida.
