[quote=LEONARDO,278209]China’s situation is complicated. Obesity and undernourishment coexist in China. It reminds me of a scene in TV news that a bunch of kids in the remote rural areas in southern part of Guizhou Province were skinny and pale. They were obviously undernourished. IMHO, most foreign guests came to China to be impressed with the dazzling prosperity. The kids you have seen are mostly from relatively well-off families in China’s metropolises. They are no doubt well-fed. My intention is not to make you disillusioned with China. In good conscience, I love this land of great potential in earnest. Indeed China has been doing a great job although it still has numerous problems. Since Premier Wen Jiabao took office, he has taken a lot of measures to lessen the burden on Chinese farmers: scrapping the agricultural tax, implementing nine-year free education and setting up rural health care in rural areas, etc. All these measures are of great benefits to farmers. What I am talking is not to flatter any officials. My father is a farmer himself. He told me that “it is unbelievable that the government can scrap the Agricultural Tax, which has existed in China for more than 2,000 years. In the vicissitude of Chinese history, no dynasty has ever abandoned the Agricultural Tax. It has been a big stride the current administration has taken.” Sorry, I went too far beyond the topic. My point is we have to immerse ourselves in the whole spectrum of a society in order to fully understand its people and culture. Take some time to hike in the countryside will enrich your vision.
