The never ending adventures of a Canadian who lives in Wuxi and Jiangyin, China with his Chinese wife Jenny and their son Anthony aka Tony
AKIC
I am Canadian. I have lived in Wuxi, China since September 2004. I teach English. In this blog, I recount the things I have seen and the experiences I have had here in Wuxi. I also make comments on things that strike my reactionary fancy.
Want to see more of my son Tony?

That is really, really...odd.
Those years of upheaval seemed so traumatic to so many in China.
Do you think this is a way to deal with that time, that by making light of it the people can come to grips with those memories?
Part of it is making light of it. Part of it is nostalgia. I still see people purposely putting portraits of Chairman Mao in their homes and cars. I have seem portraits of Stalin in restaurants.
In fact, in Russia, many pine for the days of Communism and think Stalin was a great guy.
Even the worse leaders have their admirers.
