Re: Asian teaching English in China.

I feel very sad to see that so many foreign friends' comments on Chinese educational racism, or even all the people's racism only due to different skin color or eye color.

I was born in 1974 and have been abroad for many times, Europe, Asian, America, appr. 40 countries. Deeply in my heart, I really love China just because it's one of my motherlands. During the past 20 years, it has changed so much, but unfortunately not up to the level that most western people could exist. Educational reform in China is a failure, one of the worst failure in Chinese policy reforms in these years. And the trend to chasing economy drives people mind into some deformed degree.

But now I think as the younger generation grows up, they are easier to accept differenct opinion, they are more open to the world and they are considered more universally-considered in the developing China.

As westerners or the people in other countries, most can't understand the way of doing or thinking of Chinese. This is logical and for Chinese, it's a long way to go and to reach a higher modernization and really harmonious world, but not a show case.

Hope the teaching experience in China will not give you the only bad expression. Hope you could come to China next time and get different feelings.
