    I'm an oversea Chinese born in Vietnam, now living in the UK. We always had a close link with China as our relatives are still there. My father had always told us how China will one day be strong and prosperous. Despite growing up in the UK with anti Chinese news negative public perception of China, ive always held onto my love and believe in China. I'm so happy to see that my father's vision of China has become a reality.

    These old people lived through the toughest times of the new China, and collectivism and socialism made their lives better now. Of course, I'm not saying that these two doctrines are flawless. Deng Xiaoping sought to blend capitalism and individualism into the collectivism and socialism in 1980s, and the collision created an unprecedented social phenomenon such as what happened in the late of 1980s. But luckily, we survived. It was these old peoplen who, in the harsh conditions of those days, worked tirelessly to build this good old country and make it reborn. We should pay tribute to them.

    I have been living and working in China for 7.5 years, In Changsha, Hunan, every morning I went to the park nearby where I lived and did the Tai Ji Quang exercises along with a group every morning. I did not know which was a problem for me, so they taught me. Later I could do the same in Urumgi, Xin Jiang. It's also called "shadow boxing". It goes "slowly" but that makes you train your muscles in your body even harder. You try it: make the movement as if you are picking up your glass with tea, but then s--l--o--w--l--y. Do not shake you hand or arms too much (otherwise you will or might burn your fingers because the glass with tea is filled with HOT tea) (preferably green tea?) :-) Also in Lijiang, Yunnan, I could do this in the village Shuhe.

    One of my favourite past times in any city in China is to visit parks and squares, where there is always a hive of activity in the mornings and evenings, ranging from people doing tai chi, women's dance exercises, people singing or playing instruments, martial arts, and ballroom dancing to name many of them. This is not limited to the elderly, with many younger people partaking. Of course during the middle of the day these places are desolate, particularly on sunny days, because most chinese people fear sun exposure.

Taking a nap is also a kind of behaviour favoured by Chinese people. Taking a one-hour break at noon will make people feel energetic throughout the afternoon. Since primary school, there has been a special lunch break for students to have a rest.

    Xi'an had been the capital city for 13 dynasties in China's 5000-year history, but today such kind of park doesn't only exist in Xi'an. There are lots of beautiful parks all over China, even in small towns. The amazing part is that all the parks are built with their own styles to somehow integrate local, regional culture. Chinese take of the public treasures, e.g. parks, majorly because they are educated to do so from a little age. It also reflects one of the crucial social values, "harmony", inherited from their ancestors, which now becomes part of China's culture. The essence of the harmony includes the relationships between an individual person and other persons, individual and community, and individual and environment. That's why you can see how Chinese enjoy park activities and how the parks are built to naturally blend with the ecosystem.

    It's a "culture" thing in eastern Asia, particularly in China where the elderly are deeply respected within society. Kids are taught to respect the older generations, among many things, at a very early age. Many things in eastern societies are structured to accommodate senior citizens. It helps contribute to longevity and why you see many people in eastern Asian countries live over 100.

      Maybe the generation is changing and the culture of asia respecting elders will change some day but It wont be sooner, after all, we grew up with the adults and they dont like it when the younger ones are disrespectful. I am sure it wont change in the PH because we are family-oriented and the young adults here have deep respect for the adults

      @Ved Mukherjee Thank you for your concern but if there is a genocide where are the millions of refugees fleeing to neighbouring countries. For example Myanmar muslims fleeing to Bangladesh. Also read the Genocide Watch site for current genocides. No mention of China. However ---Genocide Watch is issuing a Genocide Alert for India Administered Kashmir and Assam State. Over seven million people in Assam State, mostly Muslims of Bengali descent, may lose their Indian citizenship and risk imprisonment in special “foreigner detention centers.”

    In China, everyone was taught that "it's shameful to damage public property" since a child at primary school. In the 1980s and 90s of the last century, there were quite a number of public property damage phenomena. However, with China's gradual prosperity over the years, People think that damaging public property is undoubtedly improperly or even uncivilized behavior. Especially after the rise of the Internet, once uncivilized tourist behavior is discovered, It will be criticized by thousands of netizens. Therefore, in most cities with relatively good economic level, urban infrastructure can be maintained well, thus the phenomenon of public property damage has been greatly reduced.

    I also enjoy the park culture here in Shanghai. Actually the CCTV plays a little role in the facility maintenance. It is more because of the enhancement of people’s living standard and the education on the community facilities’ protection. What inspiring me most is how people do a variety of activities in order to pursue their mental and physical health here and how people live in an embracive environment. You don’t need to be a good dancer and no one will judge you. If you want to be alone, you could find a quiet corner to do your meditation, body stretching or floor calligraphy. If you are a sociable person, you could chat with the peers.

    Great video again, Barrett! On vandalism I tend to agree with you, i.e. it’s a sense of community rather than a fear of security cameras that prevent people in China from committing those acts. I always chuckle when media in the US condemn the use of video surveillance in China while they readily ignore the prevalence of such in their own cities. These devices do help solve a lot of crimes as many American TV shows demonstrate. So sick of the double standard applied by the press in the West!
