Petition for China Earthquake

[Hessah]

A random thought:

Chinese people are very proud of finally having the Olympics held at their country. They were fighting with Sydney for 2000 Olympics, and didn't get it. So to get it 8 years later, is a dream finally coming true.

They've tried educating people, like line up, and banning dog meat and everything, trying their best to accomodate foreigners.

Also, they recently did an informal survey in HK, after the olympic torch went through HK, asking how many people considered themselves as "Chinese" instead of "Hong Kong People"*. And a raise from less than half to 60% now considered themselves as "Chinese". keke



*For those that didn't know, Hong Kong was under british rulings until 1997, and many of us considered ourselves to be more "superior" than people from mainland china... it was a cultural thing at the time... Hong Kong people was a bit reluctant in calling ourselves "chinese" as it implies that we're from mainland china... but things are changing, and the olympics sure makes more hong kong people feel proud to be chinese
