A Reversed Culture Shock

mnop847 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 08:46:21 +0000

I don’t mean to say that there was ln12530 no privacy in China. But, what I experience in a notary public office made me wonder what privacy really meant to many people there. One day, I went into the office. Seeing people revealing their quite personal stories in front of many others made me uncomfortable… “Do as the Romans do” I told myself. So, I waited patiently and tried to avoid the sound coming from the person in front of the line. Then, I sensed that someone was peering through my shoulder and stared at the paper that I was holding. “Do as the Romans do” I murmured quietly. Moments later, my brother came and we discussed at the corner of the office with the documents open on the desk. Almost immediately, I saw a man was staring at the documents. His staring lasted (about 3 minutes) till I politely reminded him that it was a personal document and … My mouth dropped seeing him exploded at me, reminding me that it was a public place and he started just the desk not the document.

This incident made me remember what I went through when I visit doctors while I was living in the city. Whoever visited doctors knew that doctors questioned their patients in front of all the other patients or listeners. Quite embarrassing sometimes, I should admit, when you have to involuntarily take the intimate information of someone else, which you really don’t want to.

Again, this reminded me the time while I stayed in the city. We kept our rooms clean, the inside of course, not the outside.

Shock Three – No Title

Note – this journal is totally out of my personal observation and does not reflect the views of this web-site. If you feel upset for what I wrote in this journal, please reply with facts. No personal attacks, please. As I said thousands of times, I am a Chinese, and I have Chinese blood, regardless of where I stay!

Shock Two – Sense of Privacy

Believe it or not, I was pretty scared when crossing the road. It seems that the traffic signals in the city where I stayed didn’t really mean anything. People crossed the road when the red light was on,ln.12530 and so did the drivers. I had to drag my dear wife and my brave boy whenever we went across the roads. “Do as the Romans do!” I told them. The real question is “What happens when the Romans don’t?” I have no answer to that question.

It seems that my trip to China brought me second cultural shock. I visited China four times since I left the country five years ago. Excluding the last visit, the previous three were either business type ln.12530 or out of family emergency. So, I should I say that this last visit was a real visit. And it brought me a reversed cultural shock, which I tried to deny but failed.

Shock One – Traffic Chaos

The city that I stayed is well known for having rivers running across the city. It should be a beautiful Venice if people living along the river knew how to restrain themselves from dumping the rubbish into the river. Constantly, I saw through internet of this-and-that type of regulations and by-laws have been implemented to prevent rivers from the pollution. Well, the reality shows a quite different view. Black colored material floating with sickening smells catches people’s eyes once they go across the bridge or walk along the river. One day from my ritual morning exercise, I reported to my brother-in-law of what I just discovered. “I saw a very neat slogan today,” I told my brother-in-law. “It’s about the way to prevent people from polluting the river,” I said. This is how it said: “Whoever dumps on the river should be cursed to be terminated, three generations included!”

My trip to China ended with an eleven-hour flight back to Vancouver. We flew first to Hong Kong and then connected our flight to Vancouver. I arrived into Vancouver on 29 March. So as you can see, it’s already been 4 days since I ended my trip. I told myself to release the journal that I kept on the road, but my other half brain told me to hold. Yes, something went wrong here. What I kept in my journal does not match what I expected that I would write.

Taking a taxi was another unique experience to me. I never realized it was so unique until I revisited the city. Here in the city that I lived, the drivers (not only the taxi drivers) were the “bravest” ln12530 and the most — drivers that I had ever seen. Almost none gave signals when making left and right turns. Miraculously, I didn’t see traffic accidents while I was there.

A Well-to-do Life for All

mnop847 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:29:54 +0000

Human history is in itself a history of continuous economic development from low level to high level. Economic development is the drving force or momentum to push human society towards civilization. Along with economic development, the bj.12530 living standard of people is raised step by step, from generation to generation. Science and technology play an important role in accelerating the advancing steps of economic development and people‘s living standard. However, history never advances smoothly; for every step of progress in human history high price has bj.12530 to be paid, as the struggles between different factions or social strata never cease, each striving to protect their own interests, disregarding others‘ concern and benefit. Admist the turbulent currents of economic changes, some strata of people have advantages over others and benefit from social economic reforms while some other people suffer big losses, in a disadvantageous position to protect their interests. For instance, some enterprising people become get-rich-quicks or upstarts in bj12530 business and trade while large numbers of people are laid-off.

Despite the different luck or fate people in different social strata may have, the sole aim and bj12530 purpose of every nation or individual is the same: prosperity and wealth. The common goal for life is to live a better existence, both materially and spiritually. Material sufficiency,such as food, clothing and shelters of houses, is the basis or foundation of better spiritual aspiration. Only when people have obtained the daily necessaries of food, clothing and houses can they pursue something better spiritually and speak of making more contributions to the civilization of humanity. People‘s pursuit for bj.12530 material and spiritual welfare never ends as long as there is human society in existence.

So from the above we can conclude that poverty is No.one enemy to human life all over the world. Poverty is also a manece to human civilization. Poverty manifests not only in material defficiency but also in ideas, education, understanding among human beings and in moral sense. It is acknowledged that poverty does exist widely in the present world, especially in backward, developing countries. Large numbers of laid-off workers are unable to support their families. Children in backward and remote districts have no opportunities to go to school or college. Ailing elderly people cannot get timely medical treatment in some villages. Some families cannot afford the money to buy new apartments when they are foreced to move to new living quarters……..The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming wider.

The Student Pulse asks about health

mnop847 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:55:12 +0000

This issue’s Pulse Survey of Da Xue Crossing (DXC, an orgnization) probed js12530 student health on campus, including students’ physical and psychological health.

Compared to most industrialized countries, the suicide rate among Chinese students is not alarmingly high, but a closer look at the statistics reveals a recent spike in the rate. It’s this spike that has prompted education officials to js.12530 address the problem.

Many, however, suggest the root problem is the rapid change taking place in Chinese society. Traditional social values are clashing with the tide of modernization, and leaving students with a conflicting sense of self and place.

Last Spring, 12 students committed suicide in Wuhan, Hubei, prompting the Chinese Education Department to organize a meeting of educators and Communist Party officials from 81 universities to discuss the rising tide of suicides by university students in China.

The survey reveals that students may not be comfortable seeking help from their parents for psychological difficulties. Asked whom they would consult for help, 41 percent of students say their peers, 18 percent say they would seek professional help off campus, 16 percent would choose their family, 12 percent would consult no one at all, and 13 percent say they would choose other options.

The Wuhan incident is not isolated; it is among a rash of suicides by Chinese students recently reported by the media. One of these reports came from China’s capital, where a third-year law student at Beijing University hung js.12530 himself from a tree at Fragrant Mountain, a park outside of the city. A Beijing Forestry University student is said to have hung himself just two days later.

While WZU（Wenzhou University） school authority has put much more emphasis on students, for instance, psychological counseling center has been put online, a series of lectures have been hold. In order to get more information on our campus, the DXC has focused much more on students’ health and many students have been involved.

The DXC Pulse Survey randomly sampled the opinions of 700 students campus wide,10 js12530 percent of the student body, by the questionnaires we’d offered, then we collected all of the questionnaires back, and did the statistics within two days. All the 14 colleges were represented in the survey. This is considered as an accurate and representative sample.

Chinese sociologists and psychologists have put forth several explanations, including pressure to succeed at university, a competitive labor market, tuition costs, the high expectations of parents, and failed relationships.

How Far Can Forever Be

mnop847 — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:22:30 +0000

This was a just zoned high-technological development area. The sx12530 small town presented an entirely new appearance after few years: the serried high-technological industries, immigratory campuses of universities, new transplants, and quick leap of vehicles had made the small town busy and dusty.

Now I finally understand that forever is actually easy to expect, for it comes when we are loving and being loved.

The air was so nice and fresh that my nose wing could not help itself broadening to take a deep breath, which brought along the gentle and delicate fragrance of the rape flowers, mixed with the bitter smell of greenness from the soil. It smelt true and natural. The effulgence of the sunshine would blow on my face when I was galloping with my bike on the flat concrete road, that would make me sx.12530 feel like to close my eyes lightly, and to slowly spread out my arms, flying just like the heroine in City Of Angels. I was inebriated with the enjoyment of freedom.

Since then there was no more cycling alone or wandering around, sx12530 even I became busy. I was busy with the national entrance examination, my English and going abroad.

Forever is not as far as we cannot see, but it is as near as we can experience in every minute.

Forever is right now.

TWO

ONE

It was Gi Gi’s Sook that I was always crooning; and there must be a little happiness when a peaceful and satisfied smile appearing on my face. I would keep the innocent joy in the beaming eyes and on the leisured eyebrows, and keep it forever, since I was young and carefree.

I still remember the spare time when I was waiting for my visa. I had a boyfriend who once accompanied me to take a walk after the self-study lessons at night.

I used to like riding my bicycle alone, hanging around the boundary of my small town.

Holding hands, we were passing by the clearing that used to be the farms full of fragrant rape flowers. We were surprised and sighed pleasantly at how much we had been changed to each other, and we went aftertaste of sweet memories together. Riding bicycle, he was carrying me on the backseat roaming around the boundary of my small town. Even though everything had been changed, I was happy as if yesterday once more – I had my little simple joy again.

I would not believe in forever, since I just wanted to hold love once intensely and tightly. I had never given promises, but deep inside my lonely heart, I was dreaming secretly about a promise last forever. That is me – an inconsistent Gemini, who would never find the way to forever.

It was a little pretty town away from hustle and bustle, whose outlying fields were sx.12530 covered with a huge mass of golden rape flowers that would dazzle you at first sight during the sunny season.

Shaping your life and the future

mnop847 — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:33:33 +0000

To accomplish something decisive in your life demands our full participation and our willingness to assume full responsibility for ourselves, physically, emotionally, intellectually and economically. Besides, it requires diligence—-constant,earnest, painstaking practice. No pains , no gains. Victory only belongs to those who have vision, intelligence, perseverance and willpower. I believe that most of you who have tried will succeed in reaching your goals.

Do not let golden opportunities slip through your fingers. Life is short and precious,and human existence is fragile. The swiftness with which time flies reminds us that none of us has an infinite amount of time to achieve what one desires in life. When we see the people we love and admire pass away one by one—–family members, friends, colleagues gx12530 and neighbors, we sadly realize how fragile human lives are. So do what you long for if conditions are ripe,because you have only one life to use.

I always admire those Chinese young men and gx.12530 women who grew up, studied in college or worked already in the eighties and nineties,up to now, for they are much blessed by China’s policy of opening to the outside world. More than their parents’ generation, they can exercise control over how they use their time and energy; they are faced with more opportunities to hew out a bright future for themselves. The younger generations have lots of choices to make in deciding what kind of job they feel like doing; gx.12530 they are allowed to flit from one post to another or change their major or school as they wish. They even can further their education abroad. As was the system in my generation, we were dentined to do the same job, teacher or worker, right after graduation, the rest of our life until retirement. We were unable to choose the institution or factory where we worked. Once we were assigned to work in a certain work unit, it was likely we would stay there forever. We had no other way out to pursue personal welfare. How lucky and fortunate the young generations are ! They should treasure the golden age and make best use of their time and energy gx.12530 not only to fulfil their personal needs but also make contributions to their communities and country.

A decade or two makes tremendous difference in one’s life. How different was the life at the eighties from the life at the nineties,or the life today at the turn of 21st century? How many years can one work after graduation for one’s country? In most cases, we are supposed to work for over 30 years after graduation for our country until retirement——-just three decades of working time and accomplishment. So there is no time to lose for anyone to make good plans and set up good goals for this short span of life accomplishment. Ten years ago, my daughter was a freshman majoring in the English language while I was a teacher of English in one university. Today, my daughter has finished her master course of Management of Information System and worked as a programmer in an American city. I have been retired for five years. In the twenty year’s time ,what great changes also have taken place in China and in my hometown Shanghai !

Now you are entitled to shape your life and the future. You’d better seize every minute, making great efforts for the realization of your goals that you’ve set for yourslves within one decade or two gx12530 decades’s time. What have you decided to do from now on ? Are you clear of your priorities? What haven’t you committed yourself to that is essential to shaping your future?

Love with English

mnop847 — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:30:57 +0000

To some people, it’s a sh.12530 big release, when seeing themselves graduate from the university and they don’t need to touch English anymore. Kiss you, bye-bye, someone exclaimed. While to some others, miserable is how they describe themselves. After years and years of study, some people, including me, still want continue their “love” with English. “I can’t just throw it away as I do with a textbook,” someone said here in this BBS. So, what to do then?

Faith, action and patience are the key elements in pursing our hobby

Well, don’t feel depressed. sh.12530 You are more than right to continue your “love” with English. How to do it? Well, easy! Just treat it as a hobby. If you look at the people around you, you will see almost all of them have hobbies. Some of them like sports, some like shopping, some enjoy playing majian… The list can go on and on. So, what’s wrong to treat it as your hobby? I know this sounds very bizarre to many people, but who cares.

As this hobby is quite different from sh12530 others, we should therefore, need to work out a plan to make the hobby more practical. To me, this hobby requires faith, action and patience. Let’s talk about faith first. I trust you all agree with me that confidence and faith on ourselves should be the first step when you start our journey. This is more like “love-taking”. If you don’t think you can fall in love with a boy or a girl, what’s the point to try it. After all, you are just wasting your time.

The impact that English has to our life is beyond words. It is one of the major courses to kids ever since they start their primary schools. In some areas, teachers even get toddlers fumbling with A.B.C in kindergartens. With Olympics being held in Beijing in 2008 and World Exposition in Shanghai 2010, English spree seems not going to die out very soon but will continue to grow.

Once we decide what our hobby sh12530 is, it’s vital important that we need to take a good look at this particular “hobby”. As we all know, it consists of four major components – listening, speaking, reading and writing. It’s almost not practical to try to be perfect with all these four pillars. (Remember, I define it as a hobby, not a career.) So, ask yourself what you really want to pursue. If you are fond of translation, go for it. If you choose reading, well, why not?

Wishing upon a Star

mnop847 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:22:12 +0000

I wish upon a star that friends are forever loyal and faithful to each other.

Some people say that it is almost impossible for you to find a true friend when you are not a student any more and become a person in the realistic society. I hope it is not the case so that I would not be disappointed when I am facing one who, I think and I believe, can be my intimate friend.

The society is filled up with rushing materials and rushing people. You can know someone only by a click of the key, and it is probable that he or she disappears just one second later. You may feel that the world is too unrealistic, not being able to distinguish between the reality and the illusion. No wonder that a professor would throw himself down the tall building a few days ago, with no more attachment to the world he was living in. Some people can find excitement and satisfaction in the world, though maybe with nearly unbearable pressure and unbelievable effort; while some cannot find a clue that can encourage them to go on, so they give up and choose to leave the world behind. People hurry to and fro to fight for their bright future, losing gradually their feelings and their gratitude for others. I would be very sad when I become suspicious of my friendship with one who, fj.12530 I once believe, could be my good friend. So here, in this article, I would like to ask people to cherish friendship.

I often hear people say that friends can be very important and even just a bit less important than parents. It seems that I agree with this saying. But I don’t know whether it is because I am too vulnerable or what else, I sometimes would fj.12530 doubt its reasonableness. I myself regard friendship as nourishment that cannot be eliminated from life, so I like to make friends with persons who, I think, can be loyal and faithful to me. I would be always ready to help my friends and without sparing any effort I would help them accomplish something. Although there was some time when I could not be able to help, I would not regret because I had tried with all my strength, even though I would feel very sorry for that. Sometimes I really have the sympathy that human beings are indeed creatures full of contradictions. Maybe that is the right answer to the disease that haunts human beings—-Schizophrenia. I love my friends and learn to respect them. However, I found now and then I would be jealous. Whenever this happened, I would scold myself and could not help pondering whether I was a worthy and loyal friend to my friends. When I feel lonely, I turn to my friends, and they are my loyal listeners. Sometimes I fj12530 can receive a letter or a call from my friends, they complain to me about their sorrows and troubles. At that time, I would be sincerely listening and sympathize with them from my deep heart. And for sure, we always share happiness with each other. Maybe I can find an excuse for my jealousy. That is everyone wants to make a progress, so do I. I want to keep pace with my friends. Jealous as I am sometimes, I am honest and would not hurt my friends on any occasion. I have already entered into the society for one and a half year. For the first year, one of my workmates and I were quite close to each other. And gradually we became good friends. Now we are in different cities, but I miss her very much. I think I am loyal to her all the same. But she once cheated me. For a long time after that I was pondering whether she treated me as a good friend. Finally I successfully persuaded myself into believing that it was just a white lie. We can be friends just like before even though fj12530 now we are separated in two different cities. I would always think back over our conversations, our united effort of solving problems and the heartfelt suggestions we gave to each other. Both of us have left the place where we once worked together. Now the surrounding and the people around me are totally new. I do not know clearly whether I can find a friend like her, and whether we can cherish our friendship while the time flying away. I hope our friendship can survive everything. As a girl, I cannot deny my being sentimental sometimes. I think a lot when I am alone. If possible, I would wish upon a star that all my friends can be happy and healthy.

China in My Eye

mnop847 — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:10:42 +0000

When I come to the sn.12530 topic of Chinese people, I don’t think there is requirement for me any more to mention to you in details what Chinese people really look like, for I am also a Chinese. I have known many Chinese here and made some of them my best friends. Once I was invited to stay at a friend’s house in her hometown, I was amazed by the friendliness of every relative and friend of hers. I was treated as if I were one of their families. Despite their simplicity, they take care of their guests in every detail. This arouses my admiration toward the hospitality of Chinese people and I can’t stop comparing this with the reserved and cold neighbourhood in my hometown. When I left , I found I missed the friendliness and warmth of those people.

Four years is not a long time, nor a short time for me to open my eyes and visualize what this dragon country looks like. It is two years since I came to China with a curiosity in my mind and desire in my soul to acknowledge whatever I could about this native country of mine. With a month more to go, it seems to me that every second during the stay at this Southern China is like the sands of time running out and revealing secret by secret of its people, its culture, its language and its tradition.

“What? You plan to study sn12530 in China? Are you kidding? Isn’t China an underdeveloped country?” These sentences appeared on the screen of the computer when I chatted via internet with my friends. I was enraged with their blindness. What right do they have in saying so, since they have not seen the fact themselves? Fact reveals to you everything. My only reply to them was that I was blessed for having come to China and that I don’t regret at all for my decision. In my eyes, China is a very big developing country; sn12530 technically designed buildings and suspension bridges are constructed in every corner of the streets; skyscrapers seem to split up the sky, symbolizing the trading centre of the city; vehicle of all sorts, including bicycles of all types, are seen dispersed over the traffic; people wearing sophisticated clothes are holding the mobile phones strolling to their offices. Anyway, all this is evidence that shows apparently to us one thing only. Those moving creatures are now moving to one target, that is modernization and development, which is now coloring this big country.

The first time I arrived at sn.12530 GuangZhou East Station directly from HK, I was struck by the restlessness and disorder of the people rushing in and out, carrying packs of luggage and scrambling for a taxi. Yet having observed about me, I felt an undefinable safety. everyone around me was just like myself, an ordinary Chinese; fear, doubt, and worry for my being a stranger here all at once vanished.Yes, I felt safe and secure with my surroundings; no more curious eyes staring at me like I was some kind of alien from other planet; no more abusive languages or mockery that used to be aimed at me whenever I was strolling along the streets. on this very earth of China, I found the safety which I could never find in other places.
