In China, it is not weird at all hearing people complaining about the government, the Party and the society.
"The traffic is terrible." "People are suffering." "The so-called civil servants are extremely corrupted." "Poeple enjoy no freedom here." "The price of commodities is climbing while people's salary is decling." ..........................
There is therefore an incredible number of Chinese people yearning for their own imaginary ideal world in foreign countries, say the U.S.A. For them, life in those countries is far more better than that in China. Maybe they can find their way out in another country, and many people did. But many of them still love their country and won't speak ill of their the place where they are born because they know what it means of being a Chinese.
It is a pity that there are still many Chinese people who speak ill of their own people and country in front of foreigners. Their ignorant admiration of foreigners really disgusts me. From them I know why people from other countries depreciate China and why they deny the fact that Honh Kong is in China.
Maybe I am too young to see clearly the dark site of China. But I know the simple saying that every coin has two sides. Many people speak of "down with ...". But if that happens, I don't think there will always a better life. Maybe China is not doing good, but I am grateful for at least it guarantees me a stable society and people are not in war. As a Chinese, we for sure need to point out the mistakes and give suggestions to the government. On the other hand, we should also be proud of being a Chinese. When questioned by foreigners, we should at least say that Hong Kong is part of China. If we want others respect us, we must first of all respect ourselves.
