| I'm not going to comment about the possible similarities between the French revolution and the Chinese cultural revolution. This topic is way too complex for me and I don't know much about the Chinese one anyway. In fact I just wanted to say how admirable I think it is to react the way you do ("seek first to understand before seek to be understood")... Clearly you're a wise person Jian Shuo Wang. And since I'm here I'd like to share something I'd like more people to remember of; In 2004, special celebrations of the Chinese New Year occured in Paris... During 5 days, even the Eiffel tower was illuminated in red to remind everybody of China! See this page about most of the special illuminations of the tower : http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/fr/documentation/dossiers/page/illuminations.html This one is less "official" but shows bigger pics: http://www.broguiere.com/rouge/ A last one: http://photoenligne.free.fr/ParisVII/TourEiffel/N4486.jpg It reminds me of the time I was studying and dreaming of coming in China someday... I thought I could enjoy this friendly relationship between our countries, and 4 years later, this is still what I was thinking as I was flying to Shanghai, so excited but so scared about being about to begin my first real job in China. A few months after, I feel very uncomfortable when people ask me where I'm from and I don't even know if our young company will survive these "troubles"... Sad. |
