Proud of being chinese
Proud of being chinese
"The air is revolting, lung-dissolving, grey with soot by noon."
"Shanghai has always been a slut, eager to bend to the whim of outsiders."
"Speaking of sluts, they're everywhere in Shanghai. This has been the case in China as long as there have been arranged marriages. But the old itch has taken on new scratch in the dollar-mad dynasty."
this is a good point:
"You always hear about 5,000 years of Chinese civilization," Handel Lee says one afternoon, sitting on a black leather couch in his office in front of what looks like a first-century Chinese bronze ding, or food dish.
Mr. Lee is a Chinese-born, American-educated mergers and acquisitions lawyer who also happens to be chairman and co-owner of the $62-million Three on the Bund project. He is 43 years old.
"But what was that culture? It was a civilization based on philosophy and art. Not on the Chinese military or on a political philosophy ― merely on art, and history.
"And since 1949, it's gone. Contemporary Chinese culture ― well, look at it. It's this rapacious economic behemoth, ripping the place apart. But it's got no heart. It's got no soul."
