model
For a nation or community to survive, Jiang says it must shift from materialism to spirituality, from individuality to community and family, and from elderly control to younger leadership.
normative
In answer to the student, Jiang distinguishes happiness from success: happiness comes from family, love, community, meaning, purpose, and generosity, not wealth.
normative
Jiang says immigration is not natural for most people because the natural impulse is to help one's birth community grow, not abandon it for a better community.
model
He allows for a small minority of nonconforming people who may naturally leave because communities historically punished or killed people with strange or different ideas.
diagnosis
Poor kids can succeed, but Jiang frames the main path as leaving one's community for a more mobile environment, which is high-risk and requires unusual individualism.
normative
Paradise is created through love and communal happiness, not objects, public property, socialism, or inward self-expression.
