Hi xiaophil

I was just thinking about the guy who married the prostitute. I assume the work mates of the guy called her a prostitute, I wonder how accurate their own knowledge of the girls professional life was. They may even be overjudgemental of her.

From what I have seen it seems alot of young women in china have engaged in prostitution at some point in their lives, I am not talking about the girls in the ktv or hairdressers, I am talking about the girls who have a sugardaddy. or any mistress. I have met or observed quite a few seemingly well educated and charming women who sleep with mature wealthy chinese man for presents and the odd financial help, even though they dont consider themselves pros, they are selling their bodies for wealth, thats a prostitute as far as I am concerned. Although some may feel some emotional contact the prime motive is money.

Later after one or two abortions they will probably settle down with a stable guy and continue to look down their nose at other people.

I am sure they were memorable for their edifying conversation and deep knowledge of the universe.

xiaophill I think matt pretty much said it, these people that say they hate foreigners for being sleazy are just feeding their own racist preconceptions.

These days I dont know what to believe. I used to think that as soon as a chinese male gets rich they take on a mistress, and that the majority went to the hairdresses but not for haircuts. But I soon realised that this kind of thinking is precisely what leads to foreigners becoming corrupted, they 'think' that all the chinese do it, so its alright for them to follow suit. This is a gross mistake though. Actually its quite likely that most chinese husbands are faithful to there wives, even after they have a bit of spare cash. I might be wrong though...no stats, just my biased-catalogued observations.

Jenny what do you think honestly?

Thanks Jenny, I liked that.

That attitude is everything is good advice. I like what he said about turning negatives to your advantage.

Its like the word crisis in chinese is 危机, first character 危 means danger second character means opportunity. There are two sides to everything, you just have to be able to see the opportunity.

Its so easy to get bogged down in negatives. While looking for articles on 王安石 recently, I randomly came across this article on Wang Shi, I think he is a perfect example of positive attitude. Although he isnt an expat.

Ｔal_ 我明白．我觉得你选择的比较合适词组．

古代是最高道德就是孝，现在最高道德是爱国．两个都含义爱：爱你的父母，爱你的祖国．但是我觉得这种爱是很自私，不纯粹的．

我也跟不少人谈过这个问题．他们认为你不是民族主义者你就是无赖．

Having said all this I can see why they are so angry at the Japanese. The japanese have not faced up properly to what they did.

Easy up Ned.

I dont understand why you are so angry. I explained in simple words why I asked the question, because I just came across this term'幼稚的民族主义', I didnt know its full meaning. I wasnt sure if it was a commonly discussed topic.

Actually I was being friendly when I returned with who is fishing? In fact I didnt even know what 你在钓鱼吗？meant until I asked somebody after posting my reply. I thought it meant - trying to start an arguement.

The sentence after Tal_ that is inverted was inverted by me cutting and pasting the name Tal_, not with the purpose of stressing a point.

I think perhaps I am just not used to talking online in chinese, so if I have offended, sorry.

Cheers

谁在钓鱼啊?

我想知道'幼稚的民族主义'含义什么.Is it just naive nationalism.

我不清楚tal_觉得这主义的内容是什么.

我想知道有没有特殊的名称.
