the Chinese reconnaissance is happening. its a very good sign. a nation needs to identify its past then to prosper. it is sad we had 10 years of cultural revolution that almost destroied our traditions, believes and values, now its time to realise our true past. maybe the culture revolution was meant to happen in order for our chinese to wake up from idealisms!
