I agree with this point of yours that a man generally gets but one chance to be an Olympic medalist and its good to know that you have the guts to air your opinions as well!!
Only someone with a narrow and shallow mind would try to draw a reference to the earthquake saga and sports injury of noble men, while one is inevitable and caused by nature, thus the victims are pitiable, the other is aware of the consequences before embarking on it, i guess you lack the knowledge of job hazards!!
I live in an environment of freedom, liberty and equality, you however i guess have been intimidated by a few given the opportunity to do what you can never do in your widest dreams.
Expression of speech is a sole right of mine and until i go 6 feet down it cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances. The situation herein where you find yourself is not self inflicted, but you chose this explicitly when you boarded a flight to china.
If you are holding the view of trying to kiss my ass goodbye, you are mistaken, i am one of those privilege people that have a home and a country to lookout to, i have a family to return to, a job that i can call my own, so if china is your heaven so be it, i leave whenever i feel the wall trying to encroach on me...
The inherent different in homo-sapien is that each one has different views and thoughts, if yours is suppressed, kudos to you. So sad that your thoughts are suppressed.
Funny enough i see a well structured English lacking the common flaws of free flow, i see an English that lacks expression, the sites is meant for ex pats and by no standards with my qualification and wide experience am fortunate to be one. Less i say am not one of those back packers like you, opportunists that seek a land to be self glorified, i was invited to come and Teach in China!!
Carl Marx was not referring to modern day socialist China but to the power of the aristocracy, bureaucracy and capitalistic domination of the masses in demographically situated western Europe.
I don't think you can take a Marxist statement to draw an analogy in this case scenario. You are not talking about social caste order with Mr. Liu Shang but social order of the highest sentiment due to the national perception of international achievement at the highest level – former world record holder.
If you are well groomed in understanding marxism, you can make inference to justify your point, only a fool and a shallow mind like your would try to say in plain terms that Karl max classless society cannot be used in other terms to express a plain idea. How can you in your highest sense try to say max did not speak about china, shit....obviously not, but he spoke of societies and i presume you need an Oxford to interpret that!!
Your ass belongs to china, quite sad, your life belongs here!! too bad, quite sorry it took me ages to reply you, was traveling around.. still I am, but when am back to china then issues would be resolved around a round table
