china' ME generation

this afternoon, i read a commentary on the TIME magazine today: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1647228,00.html
and the titile was: China's Me Generation

the article revealed one reality: some young people(elder than me, twentysomething) in china are apolitical. they don't care about democracy and they would like to work hard and play harder.

i believe this phenomena is quite common in modern china, especially in metropolis. i think all crucial leaders in the party or government are beyond 40 or more. of course, they are experienced, tactful, sometimes dogmatic. young people are not very reliable, but they are vital and innovative. at present, these old men are regulating the party. maybe they believe that the new generation will mess up the party if they let them in too early. i think that's why the passage mentioned an opinion: young people barely have opportunities to participate in politics. is this aftermath their fault? a part of it is. if they really keen about politics, the party is not that blind and dictaory, right?

now, the economical power is increasing in china tremendously, the young generation are becoming more and more dicty. on the other hand, they focus a lot more on their personal issues. meanwhile, the political life seems boring to them and the future of participating politics seems hopeless. i don't know why. money comes first?!

under the strike from U.S. and western countries, the young generation are becoming aficionado of these trendy stuff. since they are quite wealthy, they can afford those expensive brands and delicacy. china is opened to the west, but this does not mean that she is becoming colony of the western world again, in industry nor spirit. i believe this is not a "culture revolurion". she should use others' experience as reference, but not be a slavish follower.

i am a chinese and i am proud of my country. i am glad to see that my country is developing, i feel sorrow when i see the environment destructed caused by industrialization, poverty and famine. i am happy to see the new generation in china are affluent, i feel pity when they say they don't wanna concern about politics. i think the government should do something to evoke the young people. they are the successor of the nation after all.

the dragon is still yawning in some ways....

p.s. from the help from dictionary and memory, i tried to add in some words which i never used before. if some of them are inappropriate, i hope you can pardon me for that.
