bro BHA, nowadays i seek out certain PRC made movies to watch to understand their social norms. often, i pay attention not to the main storyline but to the background images of China society, in the hope that i can better appreciate how China is today...

do you think the Chinese have changed in their attitude and behaviour over the last 5 decades?

The cultural revolution 'smashed' all the beliefs/traditions. When communism declined, there is a spiritual emptiness. They are more realist(selfish)(individualistic) than the Chinese overseas. That's why we have poisonous products and foodstuffs.....make money first....but I got to admit that religion is slowly coming back and there are many highly developed spiritual persons. Highly developed in that sense that I doubt Singapore has any to match them. There are many many good people in China and vice versa. Their bell curve is very wide..........
