| Hello Jian Shuo Wang! I am from French, living in China since years. For me, the goal of pedestrian light is to avoid accident, to increase security... Thus if there is no car, the security goal is achieve... thus why wait for nothing? I will be a little rude: I think there is three kind of people: the one who do not think do not look and just cross (the suicide type), the one who apply stricly the jaywalking rules (who think himself has civilized but do not think much, just obey), the smart one (me of course >_<) For me be civilized is not respect stricly pedestrian traffic rules, but a way of behaving with other people (beeing nice with people around you, even the people who low rank job), do not destroy your environment, and think to not disturb other people. So to make it short: "Beeing civilized is take into account that you are not alone, and that others deserve your respect" I think that many chinese are focus on "beeing Civilized, romantic, and open minded is good" but very few understand the meaning of these words and most of them just apply cliche they have been told or see in stupid TV serie. 加油中国，天天进步，已经有很多但是还需要非常多。需要好好沟通 （这样的Blog可以帮助,但是在中国有太多审查(你的blog也有一点审查.你一次开始一个主题聊天审查的事情2008.08.25,然后你马上删除) 再见! |
