Fake

Hair soy sauce; Fake Apple stores; Fake eggs - Can we find anything that is real in China these days?

As a Chinese, my heart ache each time when I read these news. It ache even more whenever I hear a Chinese said, 'I am ashamed to be a Chinese!' What happen to this country with all the history, with all the wonderful old teachings like Confucius? With all the folk stories that teach us the fundamental qualities to be a good, useful and successful person?

I am no political commenter or sociologist to make real comment on what's going on, but the reason comes to mind after reading all these news is: Chinese has been poor for way too long. Everyone is desperate to become rich and have a better life. They can care less about what happen to others as long as they are out of the poor zone.

From all the fake stuff, even though they are horrifying (and disgusting), but they also demonstrate how smart and creative the Chinese really are. Only if these smart minds are put into the right places, then China can become a really strong country. Only if all the Chinese can start to live a better life, then they can go back to chase after the 'good qualities' of being human. Only if I live to see that day...
