Peter Drucker, Father of Modern Management said: "The next information revolution is not a revolution in technology, machinery, techniques, software, or speed; it is a revolution in CONCEPTS." The Second Declaration ignites this revolution. It elucidates the truth that the future determines the present. Today, in an era characterized by unprecedented changes, it is absolutely essential that everyone learn how to understand the future, cope with the future and manage the future. The Second Declaration teaches us how. ~~~~~ Wang Xiaoping, an author of best sellers, a scholar-typed orator and thinker, dubbed ¿Talented Girl¿, ¿World-Shocking Genius¿, ¿Goddess of Wisdom¿ ¿by China¿s national press, is all of 24 years old.

Four months later, she wrote her first great work Dacheng Success Theory. All her books have been listed as best sellers in China: Dacheng Success Theory, Ability Panic, The Second Declaration, etc., and all have won wide recognition from every corner of the academic and political industries. She claims that she not only writes books, but has established her own ideology, and ¿fully intends to be a practitioner of her thought¿. She has founded ¿Beijing Dacheng Research Institute of Education and Science¿, which seeks to integrate Dacheng wisdom into world education systems. Her books, ideas and actions have inspired millions of people and rallied government agencies, philanthropists and entrepreneurs to dedicate million of Yuan in support of the Hehui Dacheng undertaking sponsored by her institute. ¿Today, we do not lack doctors, but lack thinkers who can really guide the direction of advance of mankind. I wish to be such a thinker.¿ ~Wang Xiaoping The Second Declaration is the first of her works released in English. ~~~~ "A wise girl thinks wisely, utters her wisdom, shows her wise concern for mankind and displays her great talent." ----- Zhang Liwen, Principal Tutor of Ph.D candidates, Renmin University President of Confucius Research Institute ~~~~~ "The impact of this book on mankind and the future world will outclass all the past literature on futurology." ---- Zhong Peizhang Former Director General of Information for China Department of the CPC Central Committee ~~~~ "Reading The Second Declaration is not merely "getting food for thought" but also getting great joy, wealth, longevity and wisdom." -----Xu Guotai, Foremost authority in Innovative Thinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Two things that made me stop reading it., July 16, 2011

By 

Maurício (Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Second Declaration (Hardcover)

I have the portuguese edition.
On page 25 one can read: "... já entramos no século XXI, e países como a China, principalmente, vêm defendendo a liberdade ideológica" which means "we already entered the 21st century and countries like China, mainly, have been defending ideological freedom.".
The idea of a dictatorship which censors even web searches "defending ideological freedom" is ludicrous. The "mainly" makes it comic. At this point I thought, well, she is just trying to get her book published and avoid persecution so I just let that one go and kept reading.

On page 27 Part I starts with a text talking about cloning human DNA and more specifically using past time intellectuals DNA to "revive" them. Then the text goes on describing situations where these clones go on talking as if they were the people they have been cloned from ! That one did it, I stopped right there. It is simply outrageously stupid.

This review is from: The Second Declaration (Paperback)

"The impact of this book on mankind and the future world will outclass all the past literature on futurology."

~~ Zhong Peizhang
Former Director General of Information for China
Department of the CPC Central Committee

"A wise girl thinks wisely, utters her wisdom, shows her wise concern for mankind and displays her great talent."

~~ Zhang Liwen,
Principal Tutor of Ph.D candidates, Renmin University
President of Confucius Research Institute

"That a little girl has turned out such a great work in China's academic world lacking fruits in futurology, is really "a shocking matter"!
The old Toffler's future prospect of 10--50 years has predicted many things, too. Little girl Wang Xiaoping is so bodacious that she brought up her own theory on death and the ultimate objectives of human development, a forbidden zone in futurology: "People can live for thousands of years, and mankind will develop into immortals"!
By her intuitive wisdom at the age of 20 or so, she has predicted the future of human life and the development trend of mankind; in comparison with those mediocre persons unaware of the advent of the major limit, can we not say she is already among the immortals?!
Reading The Second Declaration is not merely "getting food for thought" but also leading to great joy, leading to wealth, leading to longevity and leading to wisdom."

~~Xu Guotai
Expert in innovative thinking, reputed as "King of Thinking" in China"


"The Second Declaration is a unique futurological book full of forward-looking, avant-garde, groundbreaking and challenging new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories. It is an epitome of her new ideas, new concepts and new theories, showing an array of shocking future images created by the author.
Of all ages thinkers and futurists usually like to talk about the future pictures of human society, and often devote themselves to the making of the future image of human society, but often neglect the overall research into mankind itself. Thus, from their works, it is hard for us to get complete and satisfactory future images to answer the hard question "Where is mankind going", and find the best way to realize "the overall development of the human" mentioned by Marx. Wang Xiaoping's The Second Declaration not only declares "Man has come from apes through evolution, and will surely evolve into immortals", but also offers the image of the future immortal humans as "the wisest, best, happiest and freest". Such a future image is not only an inheritance of the essence of the ideas of our great forefathers, including Marx, Mao Zedong and so on, but also a unique and complete innovation. It has combined the three elements organically, namely, "valuing people's development, people's overall development and people's sustainable development," building up a brand-new human-centered development theory and human-centered outlook of the future."
~~ Qin Linzheng
Executive Vice-Chairman of The China Society of Future Research and Director of The Institute of Future Research


"Wang Xiaoping is courageous enough to break away from mundane traditional ideas and walk independently, and also bold enough to open her mind to society. The Second Declaration is yet another great book of hers on futurology that follows the publication of her Ability Panic which propagates the Dacheng wisdom, and from this we can trace her mental journey in growing into an unusually wise girl. Her viewpoint has transcended Toffler's foresight on the revolution of new science, and also coincided with Professor Lazlo's worry about the "Great Change""

~~ Fu Fuchen
Eminent Philosopher and Taoist
Tutor of Ph.D candidates at The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences


"The most courageous and successful aspect of The Second Declaration is the daring spirit to challenge traditional ideas and air the voice to realize the dream of living forever. Unexpectedly, the person who uttered such a voice turns out to be Miss Wang, a 21-year-old girl. I cannot but admire her great courage and talent. I hope the publication of the book will arouse people's great attention to life and to anti-aging research. I suggest people of all walks of life should read this book."

~~Jian Songbai
Executive Director of The China Anti-aging Academic Committee, and Director of Longevity Research Institute


"If there is a "knowledge measurer" to measure all the girls under 21 in our country, I believe Wang Xiaoping's score will come out at the top, even if it is not No.1. After reading the book, I was amazed a 21-year-old girl could have such encyclopedic knowledge!
The new technological revolution represented by life technology and information technology will change the life of mankind, change people's working and living styles, resulting in great transformation in industrial structure and economic structure, also leading to great changes in people's social concepts, morals, legal systems and so on. Many things that seem to be useful today will become redundant. Many things that seem to be reasonable today will become absurd. Many things that seem to be moral today will become inhuman. Traces of all of the above can be found Wang Xiaoping's book.
Now it seems we have a greater need to study the future, so as to use a futuristic thinking to reflect on the present and use a future vision to program tomorrow."

~~Zhong Mingrong
Award Winning Economist, Head of Beijing Eyeshot Consultation Center


"Wang Xiaoping's writing is so extensive, while her thinking is so romantic. Her brilliant views and witty words may set people thinking. Maybe, in the eyes of a scholar, her writing is not so sound, but I appreciate her romantic style and original ideas. Her viewpoints on human-centered productive forces and life economy are so accurate and novel, they may enlighten our scholars and enterprisers. Her philosophy of respect of life and advocacy of peace are also agreeable with our mind. I hope Xiaoping will keep the style of "orthodox books with original character", centered on one or two subjects, and make unremitting efforts, so as to achieve greater success."

~~Hu Xingdou
Economist, Professor of Economics at Beijing University of Science and Technology



"Whenever Wang Xiaoping publishes a book it excites me. In spite of her young age, all she thinks about are issues that have tortured us grown-ups.
I have spent many years studying theories on ideal mankind and future mankind all over the world, but have not dared to publish my findings yet.
People's pursuit of the ideal society and the ideal human has triggered the release of huge potential energy from them. In the past, no master designer's blueprint was able to shake off the limitations of their time in politics, economy, technology and ideology.
I must recommend Wang Xiaoping's book to the students of colleges, middle schools and primary schools of the whole country, because Wang Xiaoping is a model in "research-typed learning", and a paradigm of great accomplishments. Now the educational world of the whole country is in a boom campaign for "research-typed learning". Then, we may take a look at this little girl who started her research-typed learning at the age of 15. If we learn according to the need for creation, our learning will become more interesting, more exciting and more fruitful, and at the same time, we can also develop our good habit to choose knowledge, stress practice, and seek the result. Edison became a world-famous great inventor just because he started creative learning from childhood. When I visited the movie lesson exhibition at Langye Road Primary School of Nanjing, I saw the books compiled by the pupils themselves... But Wang Xiaoping has surpassed such childish creative learning already, now she has become a person pondering about great issues of the world and a fairy among world celebrities. Anyway, the appearance of Wang Xiaoping is a miracle indeed."

~~Lei Zhenxiao
Eminent Scholar in Personnel Science



"Wang Xiaoping's collection of books, are a monograph on learning methods and ways to success, written according to Wang Xiaoping's own experience. The books offer brand-new definitions on people's ability, learning and success, reflective thinking and personal learning.
This little girl from Chongqing is so ambitious: this time, she wants to discuss the future of mankind, and tries to offer a blueprint for people's future.
Man's intelligence is incomparable to other life-forms. Hence, we can dominate the world, even determine the living or death of other species. But is mankind able to determine its own future? According to Wang Xiaoping, the answer is "Yes". Technological development is at a tremendous pace, and many revolutionary scientific achievements such as biologic technology, gene technology and so on seem to tell mankind: We shall be able to master everything, including life and death.
What Wang Xiaoping proposes in her book is a conception of "a world commonwealth", but the real world is another matter. Yet, from a backfisch's innocent heart, Wang Xiaoping has expressed her wish and appeal for the future of mankind. She even wrote an open letter to Annam, secretary-general of the United Nations, to utter her opinion that the UN should and can play a more active role.
Maybe someone will poke fun at her for her naivety: how can a small girl change the world by her own force? Indeed, a small girl cannot change the world by herself. But seeing a girl in her 20's who vividly express her concern and expectation for mankind's future, ...will those laughing at her not feel... Read more ›
