| Look like you guys got it all wrong and each of you just derived whatever conculsions or stereotypes you think it's right or want from the various comments! AND I was not attacking Jian Shuo or Shanghainese in particular. Even though it's a personal blog, don't you think it was disappointing to not see some notes about the National Day and the Shenzhou events? Don't you think those events are important to the growth of the Chinese society? That's was all in my original post! You guys are reading and DREAMING way TOO MUCH!
And what makes you think the overseas Chinese would be "losers" when just about anyone from the Mainland would want to exit the country and many would try EVERYTHING they can including risking their lives? How many times have you heard of ships full of Mainland Chinese captured in the US, Europe, and even more obscure places in Latin America this year? If you are such a good psychologist, can you explain why the "Old Shanghai" would make one "depressing"? |
