We all got a day off today in HK for the 60th birthday for The People’s Republic of China. with someone KINDNESS to give me a *scary* wake up call early this morning @_@ I actually got a chance to watch the live military and civilian parade from Beijing.
Shame to say even after a decade I've return to HK I still haven't been a big fan / loyal to my "country" so far - esp. for the "facts" i learn from all the coverages for the recent 50 yrs Chinese history from the recent special programs. I don't really feel the "excitement" when I see the military parade, just an "observation" if u know what i mean (actually i've to confess i did fall asleep in between!) :P
I would say I really think China has improved A LOT in the last decade (and i really mean it). I do feel thankful that the recent leaders like current President Hu Jintao, or former President Jiang Zemin, are actually very "open" and I think they do contribute to today's strong China. yet it's still trouble me when I see they way they "respect" Mao Zedong thoughts and socialism...
I really have no insight for any political view, but afterall they're still a communist and ran by 1 party. It's just "creppy" on how they make the kids to perform and the way ppl don't think if u know what i mean...
It'll be interesting how the communist party carry forward for the next decade...
