The revenges of the old on the young in China

China boasts of  being an ancient country and civilized state, with a tradition that old people have precedence over young people in public transit.

Distasting the convention, most young people are fond of seats in the back of a bus, so that they need not resign their seats to old passengers. And the old travelers, familiar of the political slogan, are habitually to find seats in the back whenever a front one is not available in the front.

A few stories had mushroomed after a teenager refused to give up his or hers. At 4:30 on 9th September 2014, in Zhengzhou, in a 919 bus to Central Plain Road, after four slaps onto a boy, an old man dropped dead due to a heart attack at Qinling Road intersection. On the evening of 6th June 2017, in Changzhou, in a 43 bus, an 70 years old man forced to kiss a 10 years old girl. On 18th September 2015, in an elevator, an old woman forced to kiss a schoolboy for nothing.

These scandals have definitely ruined the efforts of the Chinese Communist Party, who want to build up, in China, a new trend of respecting the old and loving the young.

In my opinion,  it is rather early for the Chinese to stand in "the national forest of the world", and there are surely a lot of work to do before they could become really civilized.

Memory about Chinese medicine

It is great to study something that really happened in life. In my case, this is Chinese medicine. Once during my childhood, I kept coughing for a long time, which seemed to be more than a month. Even though my parents bought me syrup, the cough continued untill one day a colleague of Dad recommended us to eat steamed pears. Mom was shocked with the idea, but she prepared me with a steamed pear. It was hollowed out and filled with rock sugar and pepper. It tasted strange and almost disgusted me. Strangely, it healed my disease.  Now I am nearly fifty and studying Chinese medicine. I have found that there are more miracles than I could imagine.

The Chinese Hatred

How long can you hate someone? What do you do for your hatred toward someone? These were the questions I had bothered my colleagues with after a visit to Summer Palace, which was destroyed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900. My Chinese fellows answered "It depends."   It is slippery of the Chinese to say so, since they are always being roundabout. In my opinion, the Chinese can hate their own enemies for hundreds of years, and they build monuments, museums and even parks to remind themselves of the hatred. They hate the Hui-Hui moslems for the riots in the Qing dynasty, and they have called us THIEVES for more than a hundred years; they hate the Japanese for the invasion in WW II, and they have ever called them SMALL GHOSTS with lots of momuments, museums built to memorize the hate. Logically, the nickname of the Europeans is OVERSEA GHOSTS; the Africans, BLACK GHOSTS; the Indians, Number 3; the Koreans, CORN EARS.   The hate toward their enemies is leading the Chin

My prediction about the future in 2022

I do worry about the future of this world, wondering if there will be miracles. After the demonstration in Hongkong started a political suppression in 2019, and after the coronavirus spread across the globe, and after Russia invaded Ukraine, there seems another wars ready to happen. When they take place, in my opinion, there would be more tiny countries popping out around ours, especially in Asia. These countries would get rid of their old traditions as well as political systems, joining into federations like USA. They would speak languages as popular as English. They would adopt immigrants and refugees. Moreover, they would all respect human rights!
