Merry Christmas

Date: 24th Dec. 2023

Today is Christmas Eve.

This year, China’s domestic media have made many voices saying “Don’t celebrate Western festivals”. Even kindergartens and schools are guiding not to celebrate Western festivals.

Why is this happening?

Are you afraid that Western culture and values will change China? Or are you afraid of the disappearance of Chinese culture?

China has huge changes over the past 40 years, and the lives of Chinese people have improved unprecedentedly. What do these rely on? These can only be achieved by relying on cooperation with Western developed countries in various fields such as trade, economy, finance, science and technology, and academic research. “China will be changed and has to be changed” is an unstoppable torrent. Only by learning and accepting Western values ​​can China truly enter the world! The idea that China is an ancient civilization with more than 3,000 years of history and that it should be isolated from Western culture is just ignorant, selfish nationalism and narrow patriotism. The stronger a country is, the more it must be tolerant in order to be accepted and recognized by the world. Instead of entertaining yourself in your own little world! This is an understanding that every Chinese should have!
