What fucking is the problem with the chinese goverment?

I never thought that the korean goverment has barefacedly applied the Dragon-Boat Festival that has been belonging to China over 2000 years for their own world cultural heritage. I can still remember ,When I was child, I was so eager to get the special food called rice dumpling which looks like this:(Most of people eat it in memory of the famous poet "Quyuan"), it is so delicious, but acutally I havn't eaten that since I went to University.


The most popular symbol that reflect this festival is the sport called dragon-boat race which is not only held in China but also abroad, e.g., in USA and Germany in 2007, it was so welcomed by the local people for its funny style. However, we are in the way to be far from our own culture--- the poem, the funny time, the memory...

If looking back to the yesterday,the chinese goverment has been alway losing something even it becomes economically stronger, hundred years ago it lost the two important cities Mecao and Hongkong, today it is witnessing the departure of its culture and wealth, I don't know whether the goverment really want to make his effort to keep at least some radical culture for our later generation, the Dragon-Boat Festival we've lost is not just food and sport, it is a kind of spirit.

I really miss the food ---rice dumpling !

A very good historical lecture for all those who have ever missed their history lectures in the elementary school! No matter where u r from.

Introduction about this book of back cover:

In the Twenty-first century, China has emerged as the leading challenger to U.S. global dominance. China is often seen as a sleeping giant, emerging out of poverty, backwardness, and totalitarianism and moving toward modernization. However, history shows that this vast country is not newly awakening, but rather returning to its previous state of wold eminence. With this compelling perspective in mind, D.E. Mungello convincingly shows that contemporary relations between China and the West are far more like the 1500-1800 period than the more recent past. This fully revised second edition retains the clear and concise qualities of its predecessor, while developing important new social and cultural themes such as gender, sexuality, music, and technology. Drawing from the author's thirty years of experience teaching world history, this book illustrates the importance of history to students and general readers trying to understand today's world.

Let it go and let’s do it

My first feeling on the phrase that is printed on the T-shirt designed by a German designer “Fuck u, China” was angry. Perhaps the designer is angry as well about the flooding of counterfeit commodities that are “well” made in China. Or he just wants to be the first German who creates history in 21st century that he reminds some Chinese that they should make use of brains to create not to copy or some guys have been gone off with jobs that should belong to German workers.

The reason is not important, what more important is, we should let it go and create our own intellectual fortune that will support the forwarding of our later generations. Maybe it is a little bit earlier to embrace such beautiful hope, however, the fact is, the European are still staying in a advanced situation and we have to learn much from them just like they did thousand years ago. This doesn’t mean whatever we must catch up with them one day and laugh at them eventually, what we are trying is the stepping near the interconnectivities between different nations, to be better understood not only by our citizens also by foreigner from different cultural regions.

What I always believe is that, changing makes communications. A lot of European people have got used to their living stand and industry advancement over two hundred years and they would currently prefer to choose a situation in which Europe will be always the civilization-center of the world, so it is not so surprising that you are always underestimated, no matter where you come from in Asian (except Japan), even sometimes you are well brought up and rich in creations.

Thus the prejudice has been always brewing in our minds, not only rich against poor---the arrogance, but also poor against rich---the inferiority. The dreamful balance can be only found in the mathematical book in the elementary school, but so what? We are still on the right way to the balance and we are trying, aren’t we? Let’s do it!

The European should rediscover the Chinese history

Over last 300 years Europe has been always considering as the center of civilization of the world, which has become a common sense almost for all the human beings, they are always staying on a higher position while they are trying to make communications with other people from the third world, i.e. most of counties in Asian except Japan. And please never get such a silly hope that the European can recognize the people from different Asian countries.
If the present focus is Japan, they will then make much more concerning about future threat that Japan might bring and they will probably consider every Asian guy in the street in Europe as Japanese.

So the same thing has happened to China, they will certainly think the people who have an Asian face, who are making “mistakes”, as the confounded Chinese that they’ve despised over 3 centuries, you know, it looks really like such an example, it would make them much more comfortable, if African always stay in the poor situation with the help from Europe, because that brings them a prior feeling everywhere and they have get used to it too long, so they are willing to keep that forever.

Thus it’s not so difficult to make a conclusion that the European love keeping something except changing. That is why the employment system in German as well as in other west European countries looks like a “diamond” which means on one hand the experience accumulation of their ancestors and on the other hand few flexibilities. That is why so many experts are leaving here for the USA and so many professors are unable to get rid of their positions.

What makes me so surprised that a lot of Chinese students, who come to foreigner countries for their further studying, are always having so little self-confidence that the Europe is considered at all times more advanced than China by them. As a matter of fact, it was not what they thought 300 years ago at all.

“China's science and technology fell behind that of Europe by the 17th century. Political, social and cultural reasons have been given for this, although recent historians focus more on economic causes, such as the high level equilibrium trap. Since the PRC's market reforms China has become better connected to the global economy and is placing greater emphasis on science and technology.” Such histories they should read to enforce their national spirits and individual confidence. Another important reason that the history lectures in the elementary school and junior school have been often replaced or taken by other lessens such as Math, Physics…etc has caused that problem. As we all know, the modern high industrialization of Western Europe is being followed by the eastern countries, and we cannot overlook meantime that over thousand years in the long historical river the merchant marine from the East full of flourishing civilizations was driving slowly to the Europe.
