ABSTRACT
We have identified nine concepts that form the foundation of the Chinese way of life around the year 2014 (CWOL v2014). The most important thing to remember is that the Chinese way of life is evolving. Although this chapter accurately describes fundamental aspects of current Chinese society, this does not mean that the Chinese are content with the way things are. In fact, many are quite dissatisfied with some current societal norms. The desire to create a better CWOL is palpable among the entire populace, and we have no doubt that they will succeed.
