Don't worry, China's culture is not going anywhere
2015-04-30
Read some great articles on CD forum, some foreign bloggers gave out some opinions such as nowadays China's young people knows so little about their own culture , instead they are more interested in foreign culture etc....These are all got their points but i have some of my own views.As a Chinese myself actually this phenomenon happens simply due to a few reasons below:
1. English is the world's language for communication;
New Chinese generations started to learn English early, some family started to let kids study English at 2-year-old in general it's compulsory to have English class from the first year of the primary school. When you learn a language, you will have to learn their culture, habits, taboos and some other bits and bobs. - It's not that Chinese so "worship" western culture, it's only because Chinese or other non-English speaking countries have to.

What if the worlds language is Chinese, will it be Chinese's turn to concerning about others not knowing their own culture enough? ;) or this is just a cultural blended era itself?
2. Native English speakers owns the hollywood.
Still, when your English language up to some certain level, from human's curiosity of course you would like to have a look what's happening in their life, so we watch a foreign movie. we learned there are some superheros , how special effect get made, and anime would be make like that too. - this is definitely helped with the development of China's relevant sector.
The whole point is about learning and improving, keeping the previous good bits and improving the bits which need to be improved.
Guess why your own cinema is not widely known to the world? because , yeah , not famous enough. As we all know, America is being called a "developed country" that's why they owns hollywood, of course it also because they founded it first, I'm sure other developed country members are all have ability to found a movie making centre. So here we goes, we got "developed" first, then we bring out the caste differentiation, "developed" ones have the ethnocentrism planted in them. - which is not a bad thing, you shall do that, everyone should but some of you didn't.
Every nation shall be respected by their own people. (certainly there are some f*cked up parts you will never give any of your love to) Only referring to this - why's China young people don't have the knowledge about their ancient culture heritage? is that hinting the old old China is going to "vanishing"?
hmm, I guess you know all your country's historical stories from here and back 2000 years? Unless you are a scholar of this field. or you are a Dora A meng (chin chin) , oops ! some of the developed countries do you even have 2000 years established history to think back of ? let's say America? :P
3. 80% Chinese are not majoring in history.
As the same thing will happened in any other country its like when you grab a university student on the street ask them to name some of their historical stories they probably will go "ah...umm.." . So all the kindhearted worrying about China is experiencing their own culture destruction etc, actually this is just how Chinese new generation look like, history is in the museum and for those who want to dig in deeper, they will get a degree for it, or Phd or ...higher level.
You can't still expect Morden Chinese still wearing Qipao to go to school or going on a tour by riding a donkey, taking their days and nights knitting a piece of cloth. Or...many old things they just changed, Chinese or any other country's new generation, may are not as the same as you thought -both on the good bits and bad bits.
