It is still very sad there is no picture available at the moment, I promise to put on more pics when I get hold of a better laptop.

I set out to take a good look of Tiananmen square this morning. As I approached the gigantic Mao's picture, I grew very timid and felt a bit scared. This state machine can basically take away anything you own, kick you out of your dwellings, make you spell your guts out by all means at any time they feel like. If it is for the account of state security or the party.
I was squeezed between so many tourists from every corner of China. I started to wonder what make them feel secured and what keep them get up every morning? There is no individual, state outweights all of us.
Forbidden city disappointed me a bit. The wooden details of the doors, arches, roofs are battered by weather, the restored part were painted by amatuers, I believe, because I don't believe the Chinese royal had such bad taste. The restoration project is a bloody disaster to the cultural heritage of all human beings!
I believe it would be implemented nicely if the projected is managed by anyone other than state own enterprise. Forbidden city is more grand, more delicated and more graceful in my imagination.
