Jian Shuo, after reading your comments, i'm reminded of my own country, Singapore.

Point #1 raised by you is also very applicable to Singapore. Sometimes, the more we Singaporeans try to make a difference, the more discouraged we feel. No doubt some are still trying, but many more are choosing to leave the country instead. It's really sad.

Point #3, the people also don't have the power to change the law. But the difference is, over here, not many dare to break it. *:b

As for point #4, you know what? My dad used to spit on the ground too. But our wonderful government introduced the No Spitting law back in the 80s, and it worked! I think the law says if you spit once, you'll be fined S$500, and for repeat offenders, the fine is more. Of course, not many people questioned how the government would be able to catch "spitters". But since our country is so small, and the people have been conditioned to fear the government, this law worked pretty well. Hahaha.

Anyway, whatever the causes and challenges China faces, let's all pray that it will keep growing, not just economically, but also as a nation with ideals and great culture. And I believe you're one of the proponents of this change. Thank you for standing in the gap for your nation. *:)
