Coming to the last week staying in Beijing, I'm becoming more homesick. Probably I'm living in a remote district far from the city center, there has been no much to do. Travel to central business area will take at least an hour.
People are still driving like crazy dogs. The air seems to be cleaner, but in my area people still spitting and tossing garbage without any hesitation. Probably a SARS eruption every year may help eliminate their habit.
Passing a high school today and saw some students trimly lining up along the pathway of the gate, wearing some red silk ribbon across their chests. Obviously they are ordered to do so to welcome some sort of "Leaders" or "Inspection delegation" sort of shit. When I return half hour later, they are still standing there, obviously the "leader" was late. It reminds a picture posted on a forum - a pig-faced communist official speeching on a platform open air. A little girl standing behind the pig-face with tiptoe, fully stretched to raise the umbrella above the pig's head. It was drizzling, the girl was totally wet, but the pig was neat and tidy.
How sad is this? It's not accidental. The whole education system is deformed. It's quite common to use students as labor or servants in China. That umbrella girl should be told by her teacher that it was really an honorable thing to hold umbrella for leaders, other students didn't even have the chance.
Well, I'm ready to depart.
