While the whole western world, dominating the global totalitarian propaganda is spitting its venom on China everyday, Bian Qin (边芹), a Chinese writer living in France wrote a beautiful poem dedicated to her beloved Motherland China. A free
translation:
To my motherland
I love you
For your thousand years of endless suffering.
For your unending humiliation.
For the sake of those who have forsaken you in droves.
For the sake of those who have defiled you in order rise to fame and fortune.
I love you.
For all the leeches that suck your blood.
For all the moths that corrupt you.
For the endless traitors that betray you.
For the rabid dogs and wolves that bite you everywhere.
I love you.
At the moment when loving you becomes foolishness.
At the moment when cursing you becomes glorious.
At the moment when the faithful are betrayed.
At the moment when self-sacrifice is ridiculed.
I love you.
Even if the whole world says you're ugly.
Even if the filthy spittle swallows you up.
Even if you are tied up in front of robbers.
Even if you collapse and are crushed into mud.
I love you.
Together with your natural disaster-ridden land.
With your hot and cold seasons.
With your poor and harsh geography.
With your unfaithful people.
I love you.
I don't need you to give me an extra look.
I don't need you to give me rewards and medals.
I don't need you to stop and wait for me.
I don't need you to lean over and apologize to me.
I love you.
Not the symbols, emblems, flags
Not for your gold, silver and riches
Not for your countless gold-diggers
Not for your flag-waving cheerleaders
I love you.
No matter how hostile the foreign land.
No matter where I live, no matter where I die.
No matter if I forget my name and lose my language.
No matter how long the road back home is lost and I never return
I love you.
Just waiting for the day when you stand up.
Just waiting for the day when you dry your tears.
Just waiting for the sun to rise for you.
Just waiting for the stars to shine for you.
I love you.
Like a shadow chasing its master.
Like a leaf growing on a tree.
Like a grain of sand washed into the sea.
Like a breath searching for a breather.
I love you.
Even if this is the last threshold of hell.
Even if this is the last passenger of a sinking ship.
Even if the gates of heaven were closed to me forever.
Even if every inch of the earth rejects me.
I love you.
In the crowd that cries out for you
I am the silent, invisible group.
In the floods that turn away from you
I am the stone under the water that stands firm.
I love you.
I've dreamed so much.
I've traveled so far.
I can't change into anything else.
I can only be a ghost that clings to you.
I love you.
This is my invincible instinct.
This is my reason to live and die.
This is the shadow of my past life and my present life.
This is the echo of my first breath.
I love you.
Though there is nothing at the end of the world.
Though poets have gone to their graves.
Though the birds have ceased to sing
Though the flowers have faded into the ground.
I love you.
I am the weed in the wilderness that never withers
I am the pebble in the river that is embedded in the silt.
I am the crack in the rock that cannot be cut by the axe.
I am the fine sand on the dune that's there for an eternity
I love you.
Let me grind the dust to brush your name.
Let me become wind and rain to wash your name.
Let me become the air that surrounds your name.
Let me change my voice into a note and sing your name.
Chinese version here which is much more beautiful.

Chinese culture 101 for South Korea
Not understanding Chinese culture, not understanding the hidden meaning of Chinese cultural symbols, arbitrarily editing the motif of the national flag which China gave Korea (when Korea was China's tributary state) has disastrous consequences. ImageImage
Symbol of is turned into symbol of Chaos.

Historically Korea was a tributary state of China. Korea became independent after China lost the Jiawu war to Japan in 1894.

When the modern national flag concept was introduced, Korea asked the Qing Dynasty to allow them to use the
dragon flag, but the Qing imperial court declined the request, considering inappropriate as Korea was on a lower hierarchy vis-à-vis the central dynasty. Ma Jianzhong, a distinguished scholar and diplomat of Qing dynasty proposed instead in 1882 the classic Chinese

A cultivated French insists Arte is objective and neutral about China and recommended to me a prize winning documentary on China on an Ayi (Auntie)'s struggles in Shanghai. Surprised, I asked,"Does this film fit the western narrative of China, ie,

closed, backward, ignorant, poor, mean, repressed, distorted, no individuality, no individual freedom?"

He said, "No, very very positive and very very uplifting.. "

So, I watched. Wow, the light is the BBC filter style, ie, the atmosphere of the underworld...
However this is the most positive West can come up with about China.

This is what an American looks like after decades of CIA propaganda. They are thoroughly lobotomized. Stupid Americans are easier to manipulate. But a nation can't expect retarded stock to excel in science & technology. US has to import undamaged brainpower, especially from China
Another pathetic American specimen.

US must be desperate. They now object to China's presence in South China Sea for environmental reasons. Remember US dropped nuclear bombs in Marshall Islands. Don't see how radioactivity creating Frankenstein sea creatures is green & clean.
BTW, nuclear testing also caused cancer in human creatures. These glorious US deeds are OK.

More excerpt from Chinese writer Bian Qing (边芹)

"Chinese people who have lived or settled in the West for a long time will sooner or later be faced with a choice of which side you are on. No one is openly forcing you, but the deep-rooted anti-Chinese environment
will send Chinese to three camps, the broadest group I call "self-interested", they do not listen, refuse to see, all their energy is spent on fighting and getting ahead for themselves, do not care how the West treats their home country, only struggling for the narrow
space to survive; the second group I call "integrationists", the characteristic of this group of people is that "you hate China, don't you? Then I hate China more than you", "You slap China once, I will slap China thrice". These are the only two ways to live in peace.

France has become a cultural desert. Propaganda permeates every corner, every detail of life. As pointed out by a Chinese writer, a film critic Bian Qing (边芹)

"How much of the mirage of the "independence and freedom" of the French artists and intelligentsia still remains?
The shadow of "political correctness" hangs over almost every area of culture. In the films I am most familiar with, for example, apart from the visible freedom of sex, the control of the system is pervasive, and to the eye that can see, it is all about political domination.
This "political command" is very different from our Chinese understanding of direct slogan shouting, where the "system" is not the government, control is not explicit, but dark, deep subtle manipulation. The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival

Arte is an European channel broadcasting in France & Germany. When one does a search on China, these titles come up. All are fake news, all are cheap propaganda. Europeans think Chinese are brainwashed and China is a country where truth is censored.
Interesting to note is that many Chinese students go abroad with the conviction that they've been brainwashed in China & the West is where they'll find freedom & objectivity. They discover the reality is the other way around.
If Chinese brainwashing is 3 on a scale of 10, western brainwashing is 10.
