| First I am glad there are people like Stephen reading this blog.
Second I want to say I am mad those people like chengb02. Who do they think they are. My book for the HuKou system is semi-serf system. I was from China, from country-side. Now I am living in America. After I came to US, I sensed the huge difference between China and America, about the equality of each person, non-discrimination, human rights. I know Chinese people in China may not like to hear this word, but this is the most important issue for a human being. I still hold GuangZhou's HuKou. I had been in GuangZhou for 6 years. Although I were one of those who has the privilleges over other "out siders", I was one of the benificiaries of the hukou system after I got into one of the best university by hard working and luck, but I am shame of the system. Why people in Beijing discriminate people in Luoyang (JS, do not say no, you know it's there), why people in the city discriminate our brothers and sisters from country-side? They are same race as you people in the city, they speak same language as city-people do, constitutionaly they are citizens of China. Why they are deprived their rights to get equal opportunities for education, for job, for social benefit? Any American citizen can move to NYC freely, can find a job freely, can let their children go to schools in NYC. Why as Chinese citizen we can not move to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou freely? Are Beijing University and TsingHua University funded only by BeiJing people? Too much. While I am in US, I go to watch college football, I go to watch NBA game. During those events, the audience sing the US national song (forget the proper word) with passion from their heart. Why, because US deserves their love. They are treated by this country as a human being. We Chinese always complain about the inequality that foreigners treat us. My opinion is that as the day we Chinese still do not treat our own citizen equally, don't expect other will treat us equally. Tristan |
