Americans are fond of referring to their country as "the greatest nation on earth". Until recently, I didn't believe any country deserved that description. But today I think there is a strong contender for the title.

China is the world's oldest living civilisation. It has recovered from over a century of colonial oppression and lifted its citizens out of poverty. As its growth continues, China is poised to become the world's largest economy and a technology leader that is second to none. By 2030, I believe it will be an indisputable fact that China is the greatest nation on earth.

I need to understand China, from a Chinese perspective. This is my journey.

超级英雄可以办任何事情 - Superheroes Can Do Anything

I've always felt that the Chinese character 办 bàn ("do", "manage") resembles a caped superhero standing in the sky.

Apologies, I have these weird ideas, and I feel the urge to express them. 怎么办? zěnme bàn? ("What do I do?")

(The title says 超级英雄可以办任何事情 chāojí yīngxióng kěyǐ bàn rènhé shìqíng ("Superheroes can do anything").)
