from the photos you weren't able to check out the car, television (though programming only went on from 6:00pm-8:30pm each night, mostly the same stuff), refrigerator, nanny, cook, driver, translator, weekend retreat on the island in the middle of the Summer Palace, summer at the beach, reviewing of the troops from the guest stands at Heavenly Peace Gate side, and geewhizwhoa holidays in exotic locations staying at hidden away villas.
such photos were best destroyed in line with the times that were.
you also missed out on the year (1969) in Upper Felicity achamchen.com Village, in a one room mud hut, without electricity or running water, where TeoTwawKi was.
do not listen to folks who say everyone is equal, it is a lie.
as to <<China has a longggg way to go before everyone is rich, sated, lazy, fat, and waddling around wondering whether to eat another feast, or rest in their Lazy Boy massaging recliner, or take a trip to see foreign places, which seems to be the end stage of human development in much of the "West".>>
... not possible, even in the USA, and not likely in China, but should China get half way, or even quarter way, or perhaps 1/10 of way, TeoTwawKi beckons. Outward bound tourism is already huge, in numbers and dollars. |
