    中国本来就不是一个宗教国家,没有信仰,价值观就会非常脆弱的受其他因素影响。在这个‘大池子’里,一些人可能会被灌输错误价值观洗脑,一些人可能会迷茫去简单的给自己找一个价值,一些人会自己寻找道路,但在外面看起来就是一团污水。中国人应该去找到自己作为中国人的那个价值(那个古代的中国,而不是1949年以后这样的复杂体),而不是因为生在中国就叫中国人(当然,坏名声已经出去了,比如旅游中的中国人)。

     

    So if anyone can read chinese  or find a english translated version of this writer name LuXun’s (鲁迅’s) books ,  you will probably know more about modern china. He writes books sarcastic Chinese, not because he hate them, but because he love this land this culture, but can’t change what people are and the society.

    ~~~~~~~永远都是社会价值和文化问题。还有就是环境,就像贪污,别人都在贪污的时候你不可能不贪污。别人都在黑心赚钱的时候,你善心就被吃掉了。

    how hes so mad with the bus boy becuz he didnt say hi to him

    I just wonder who does this!!! Mad about the bus boy don’t say HI?  This is getting more ridiculous. You see this happen here? haha

    But anyway, he can just be mad as he want, you don’t need to hear what he said. Then nothing will bother you.

    Don’t care about these anymore, I just never think its never communism, or capitalism. Problems are everywhere, stop caring you will feel more easy. Can’t change other, change your thought. It’s a FREE country(though we all know it’s not), the people you hate can do what they want, but  in china when you see a traffic police stopped a laowai or dinner waiter show attitude to them? It’s not their  problem, problem is from ourself.

    Calm down man, I thought you’v been stay in the states for a long time, should be really chill about these.

    Those big black guys in Union Square say some shit to the Chinese girls, and you didnt stand up to them?

    It’s a  hard situation man!  :]

    The mexicans in the gym make you feel small, weak, laugh and call you Chino?

    Some people just like racial jokes.Not hurt anymore.

    And about teaching, since the GVMT don’t care about how much money or how much time the Chinese teachers are making, so what, just a collapse of education. So the family who got a better situation will pay more to get better education for there kids. It’s just what happening in here, government’s officers or celebrities are busy moving there ass or there family’s asses oversea, and rub as much they can from here. Can’t see any hope for further, cause it’s never about expats or local, it’s about where is the value of being a Chinese and keep living here. While most of people can’t find it anywhere. That’ why comes China Dream(get rich – no matter how, go immigration, haha).A hope give to people while everyone knows its bullshit.

    LOL, don’t start a Apple And Samsung or iOS and Android fight here.  I can see people are arguing about this in some Chinese forum every day.

    The fact is, Apple does take more profits from its products, but they just make a good market strategy to make a lot of people buy it, even sell kidney. For me, I like how they keep change things and most important I’v being using Apple for a long time, just don’t want to change habits. And its part of job, LOL.

    Market status proves that Android is also a good one same as its device, maybe Windows is the worst.

    But I found out, the most successful brain wash international company is Starbucks! Selling coffee with a USD price while in China, huge profit.

    It’s difficult to answer this question without having actually held or used the iPad Air. I went to the Apple store in Hamburg today to try and check it out, but apparently it doesn’t get here for another week. My only beef with the full size iPad is the weight. The thing was just too heavy. Since the Air is about the same weight as the original iPad Mini, that might be the one to go with. Hard to say, honestly, both of them must be incredible. Between retina iPad Mini and super light iPad Air, you can’t go wrong. I’m assuming you aren’t broke if you’re buying Apple products! Android tablets aren’t in the same league. We’re definitely very close to the point where an iPad can take the place of a laptop – computing tasks that you need a laptop for are getting fewer and fewer each year. In light of that fact, I feel like spending $500 on an iPad now is a lot more straight forward than even two years ago when we were unsure of how tablet computing would play out (whether or not it’d be a fad like netbooks, etc).

    Feels like people’s life  can’t live without tablet even now, I was just planning to take most of the work on a tablet since Apple gives you free working suites apps now, that’s why I’m prefer iPad Air. And compare to a laptop, tablets is way lighter. But sadly, programers still need a PC or Mac to work, haha.

    But seriously, china’s Apple product applied so much tax. I may ask someone in the States help me get one.

    And about Android, maybe no, I just get used to iOS, when using Android just feel weird, if I’m not an iOS developer and I just want to use it for watch video or go on some website, maybe a chinese Android is much a better deal. Chinese tablets can even sell at a price around 200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But most factory-modified Android system are not stable anymore, so don’t expect too much.LOL

    Hey Alexander, i think i’m leaning towards the ipad air, with these old eyes i don’t think i’ll be able to tell the difference between 264 and 324 ppi though i will check them out side by side before i buy and i think i will enjoy the little extra space. as for the advice to buy last years ipad mini? no hard ware difference? i’m no techie but A5 chip vs A7+M7 about 20x faster, 163 vs 324 ppi and a maximum of 16gb vs 128gb….. thats hardware isn’t it??? and 16gb would instantly be maxed out with all my itunes crap. anyways i’ll see you at the apple store lol… good luck with your purchase! :-)

    I think 324 ppi just won’t make a big difference if the apps are suck and the pad is not used for graphic design. Besides, a bigger one is always much easier to tap. Mini sometimes feels like a phablet. But I think the faster wifi chip or the MIMO tech just feel like nothing in china,(ps, Chinese home-use bandwidth sucks). I’ll think about iPad Air.

    If you absolutely must have an iPad, save yourself a lot of money and just buy the original iPad mini. It’s 1.8 inches smaller than the iPad and around half the price. The rest of the hardware is the same. Plus they’ll take a dip in prices now that the new models have come out.

    I’m using it for developing test, and entertainment, so I think I want A7 cpu, and some new hardware features.

    I think there is post from AdrainH about he is leaving China, selling all the stuff.  Man,  you missed a good deal, he sold his wash machine to a trash collector only like 75? !!!!! I’m stunned when he talked about this!

    Do you use any of these? I’m trying Facetime with a friend later, but not everyone has an apple product. I looked at Viber, wechat, and wahtsapp last night but I need something I can use on my Macbook pro and these are phone apps right? Does qq have video chat?

    I think you want a video chat app,  qq will work, and it works on windows , android , mac iOS. Most of the other appsare juts IM app with voice mail function or like a walkie talkie .
