There is no doubt I love my country so so so much! I want to talk some thinking about Chinese and China.
Last week, By the way of Segheer asked us is there anybody want to take IELTS here, I asked him is there have some difference between the UK and foreign country about IELTS. Segheer said actually he do not know the details but he think here is more difficult, because there have some Chinese students he teached before who have a pretty good IELTS scores but their English is so poor. And even some guys their IELTS scores is faked and their behaviours is bad. A boy tell other classmates in China you can buy IELTS scores just pay for 200 ponds, and if you want to have a higher score you need pay more. I really shocked because I know there are some faked certificates in our society but I never heard of the faked IELTS scores and I do not think it is normal and easy to do in China.
After this chatting I felt upset over that day because I am afraid of segheer will have a bad impression to Chinese. I also think about this problem these days, now I have three opinions want to share with others.
First, I think there really exist many old and wrong concept for Chinese, such as superstition, over conservatively, however, we have some old habits or customs and also contains some bad phenomenon like bureaucracy, but obviously we are changing and you can not image how fast it is in our society. In 2003, my sister go abroad to study and when she meet her homeholder, a old British women, she teached my sister how dose they use closestool, she think Chinese never saw that before, but actually this is very normal in Chinese home at that time.
In my opinions, the reason for this problem is westerner do not like pay attention to foreigners so that they do not kown the changing. Another reason is China is so large and young people can not have a correct and overall opinions, even for adults it is difficult to have a objective opinion. So that sometimes we will give a mislead to others. For example, our classmates ask us dose china have road toll or tax? Sophia said yes we have, but actually I am sure we had a policy to stoped the " road tax " and change it to "fuel oil tax",because goverment want to downsize the work force and make it convenient for public. For this situation, it just because my dad work for an insurance company so I am familiar with the insurance and transport policies, but if you ask me another question maybe I will give a wrong answer and my friend will kown the right answer.
Second, why dose Chinese really care about what others think of us? Radically it is because China is the strongest and important country in anticent times, people have a strong sense of national pride. In modern times ,China is behind a lot and experienced many times aggression wars,it let us angry and feel shame, so our education teach people we must try our best to recitalize the economy, work hard to build the new nationality by ourself. We do experience a lot of difficult things, so everyone want to try our best to change someone's prejudice.
I noticed sometimes we really are not respected. Last month when we had a lunch in restaurant, a rude man come in and said:"why are you Chinese always so stupid" then he run. We feel very angry but we can do nothing for it, because it is dangerous. Sometimes Asian should learn from westerner to become more open but if we always mention freedom and open I think it is dangerous for a person.
Finally,every country have a development period such as Chinese nowadays, and have similar problems as well. I think if we make allowance for others we will reach a peace world, that is wonderful.
I have watched a video about others eyes of Chinese students, they said we like focus on others opinions, for example someone think Hongkong and Taiwan should not belong to China, Chinese students will angry about this problem because we are together over thousands years and we are same nationality, we can not seperate and leave to each other. Chinese will spark a hot debate to it ,but they think it just personal opinion and this is political, why you are so exciting.So for Chinese, I think we should learn more real abilities from others and do not just pay attention to others opinion.
