I lived in China, and look, I'm fine!

It was Tuesday last week, when I was waiting at the Coffman for next class. I find there was a “Minnesota daily”, I grabbed it and started to read, there was an article about China, The cover was with big photo taken from rural china, and the whole page is talking about what the author say about what he saw and discovered in china. Suddenly I was thinking, when people talking about China, why everytime it comes like Kung-Fu, “Bruce lee”, when writers write about China, why they always use particular photos as their cover?? I am tired about this and I am tired about when people asked me: “Are you guys eat horses in China?”

Now, I am going to say loudly: For people sick and tired of having to explain:
China is NOT a concentration campWe have computers, rap music, airplanes, and Starbucks
Mao Ze Dong is dead, no one give a damn about him anymore
Never listen to Fa lun Gong people and their craps
There is something called "American Propaganda"
You will NOT find tanks rolling down the street
You will NOT be shot if you curse about corruption
You will NOT find submissive exotic girls who will "love you long time" (keep dreamin')

You will find T.G..I Friday in Beijing and even night club! Not everyone knows the Kung-Fu, and most important, we never eat horses in Chinese restaurants, Beijing is not like what you see from most photos in America about China.

We are going to hold the 2008 Olympics games, and when that time comes out, you will see the real Beijing, the real China.

They learn from American, they make money here.

I come from china, in my hometown, there are many successful programs appear on tv or internet which the producer learned the idea from Americans, they also make lots of money on that. I will make two example here.

One is called "super girl " , based on a reasch, more than thirty millons people watched " super girl" final night,

The super girl was first seen onn Tv on sep 2003, this year,the super girl comes as season 4, every year, more than twenty millions Chinese girl sign up for the super girl, usually, the top 3 competiter will have chance to sigh up a contract with famous record company,Thus, for those girls who wants to be famous , this is the easiest way for them. Apparently, the producer copy this idea of this Tv show from "American Idol" No matter what, the producer and the studio make more than billon yuans every year from this show, Now in china, we called this as : "Super girl phenomenon."

Another example is a website called :"Inside the campus" the inventor totally copy the website from facebook, here is a picture on the "Inside the campus" , as you can see, even the color is the same as Facebook

they have same function, same feature,.However,you can't say that is an illegal website.On march 2007, the" Inside the Campus" came into the market on NASDAQ, just like Facebook in the U.S, almost every chinese college student use" In side the campus" everyday, it become a part of their life.

Those people copy the idea from American people, they make a lot of money. Why couldn't we make miracles based on our own idea? We will and that's the thing that every Chinese student who learn media in the U.S want to do.
