comment on "My personal experience about America after immigration to America" wrote by a Chinese immigrant in the US

I read an article about a Chinese immigrant's opinion about China(My personal experience about America after immigration to America). Undoubtedly, the phenomenons covered my this immigrant existed in every corner of China and it also represented a conflict in most oversea Chinese's minds. Although the author tried to avoid an impression of his disgust of China, the readers are very likely to think about that. I agreed with the comment by shuiqin that this article uncovered a myriad of bad things common in China, but it didn't go more further to analyze the cause of these phenomenons behind the scenes.

I am trying to analyze its causes. For one thing, the aftermath of the culture revolution and all kinds of political movements are still lingering in many people's minds. Fear are rooted in people and make them extremely alert to the outside. Although the government had revalue the culture revolution, the deep fear still don't go away. Except personal attack, Chinese traditional culture was completely abandoned by so-called class struggle. In the times when Confucian was no longer respected, how civilized would regular citizens be? Although economical reform are performed for two decades, the Chinese still don't find something to believe in. Maybe some will say the thinking of peasants, I will argue that this kind of thinking will just make people a bit mean but not alert always. Others will say materialism lead to degradation of people. I will argue this point is shallow. To some extent, the government and the whole system made people alert. Abuse of the parents will make children deviated from normal. In the same way, unreasonable political system will twist people's values.

As regard to the solution, I think it is necessary to rebuild the modern Chinese culture. It must not be a copy of the west culture. Instead, it should make the best of the merits of all cultures, avoid those uncivilized aspects, create a values fitting the thinking of Chinese, and popularize fundamental education and advocate the new values. On the other hand, the government should change its position against the people, become more open-minded and receive the investigation of the people. If the dialog is smoothly built and the public trust of government improves, the distrust and alert between the people will also be mitigated.

Any discussion is welcome on this topic.
