Ganzhou Travel Blogs

Background: For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

Ok folks, back again with a little update on the goings-on here in China. I don’t even really know how to express it, but everyday I am pretty much awed at the incredibly deep network of cosmic/metaphysical/otherworldy concepts that Chinese people can hook into at any moment. For example, when I asked my class of hip hop t-shirt wearing, MP3 player listening students whether or not they believe in ghosts, they all let out a collective “OHHHHH!!!” and looked at the ground, as if to say, “They’re here now, please don’t aggravate them.” Not only di [View Full Entry]
