as usual. china's showmanship was outstanding. they even got "zhong guo" shaped fireworks. and flower shaped fireworks. the flower supposed to be hk national flower i think. many other types that i have never seen before. impressive 23 min show.
flower thing - supposed to be buahiania or sth like tt. dunno how to spell.
the zhong word if u can see. didnt take a decent shot.
and. in beijing... the stuff they put on is just too much. apparently they celebrate big every 10 years. and this year is the 60th year since mr. mao took over. the budget for the fireworks was twice that amount spent on the fireworks for the beijing olympics opening ceremony. they even zhng the weather so tt on that day will have clear blue skies and to ensure it doesnt rain on tt day. zhng the weather. wth. got like tens of thousands of pple on parade and they staged the largest ever military exhibition ever. lol.
some pics koped from the net.
some crazy stuff going on. so anyway. they spent a hell lot of money. which kind of sucks. cos after taking two modules on china, you will come to realize how shitty and messy certain aspects of the country are. the social welfare system is very messed up and the environmental aspects of china is like dying. and here they go spending so much money on their celebrations. the poor and the farmers are suffering out there, the environment is taking so much shit from the pple, and the work done to restore/help them are so... ineffective. not really the central govt's fault anyway. i bet nobody in the world can solve the mess they are in now effectively, or without other consequences. my prediction is that china cannot become a global superpower. cos no matter how developed your big cities are, the tail end of the line will drag you down. and the tail end of the line.. happens to be the majority of the population at 782 million (or 935 million, depends on which counting system) out of the nearing 1.4 billion pple in china. shame on you. go serve this pple like mao did.
