I still can remember the 'Chiang Hua Yu' campaign in Sgp raised by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew long-long time back. <br />Now it has become all the more important going down the years.<br />Mercy me, Vivian Hsu; I be multilin<br />gual and thy Huckleberry.greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390174015082651018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-64075551819213014732011-07-04T12:11:32.645+08:002011-07-04T12:11:32.645+08:00Am in agreement with you Clearwater. In order not ...Am in agreement with you Clearwater. In order not to blabber on and make the clear water muddy (or contaminate this thread with our debate. Also my wife is suspicious as to why I am always in Vivan's page), I think what we should all do is not forget our roots - language, culture, pantang-larang and whatnot. <br /><br />Like I said I try and expose my daughter to everything and encourage her to read up on Chinese history, etc. Kids these days tend to be very Westernized. Just because we are Malaysians,(1st, 2nd or whatever) doesn't mean we should forget who we are because ultimately we are who we are regardless of which geographical region we call 'home.'<br /><br />In short, never abandon your roots and pretend to be someone else...<br /><br />All said, China will dominate and the debunking Westerners are trying to force their theory of a China that swallowed a huge pie and puke to death is I think a hint of fear in them.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253811481239917263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-60107936750169709942011-07-04T11:49:47.475+08:002011-07-04T11:49:47.475+08:00Hi Andrew,

He may not be aware most Americans no longer speak their mother tongue. Are these Americans then men without souls? Accomplished men like Warren Buffet, Barack Obama do not know their mother tongue but instead speak American English with no obvious ill effects to their souls. They are still revered back in their ancestral lands for their accomplishments. Yes, it is more about knowledge and ideas than the medium they are transmitted in.clearwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803462051951044634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-11883194109063463492011-07-04T10:10:12.452+08:002011-07-04T10:10:12.452+08:00Clearwater:

In this case I believe Dali means they 'own' you.<br /><br />I agree that one should know one's mother tongue but sometimes we (me and other bananas) are 'victims' of our parents' decisions. We cannot fault them of course, as they made the best choice at that time. However we can better ourselves if we want to. I am trying to learn what I missed out and I send my daughter to a Chinese medium school. The choices I make now I am hoping is the best for her but it may not be. Who is to tell? I also make sure I equip her with English and a critical mind.<br /><br />I think the correct verse should be, "A man without knowledge and ideas is like a man without a soul."Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253811481239917263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-8920552149342084652011-07-04T08:53:10.490+08:002011-07-04T08:53:10.490+08:00Great insight and well put in a very uncomplicated...Great insight and well put in a very uncomplicated way. I guess this really goes against what many detractors (especially the Western sort)say about China and how it will fail miserably and how it will be hit hard this time round.<br /><br />At the end of the day, it all really boils down to one thing as you mentioned in your article - they can afford to lose. It's just like a casino. If you're the house and you can afford to lose no matter what, you'll eventually win. So in this context, I see China as the house :-)<br /><br />BTW, it's getting harder to concentrate on your writing with my eyes always zeroing in on Vivian Hsu's assets. Now, the balance sheet is getting asset heavy :-)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253811481239917263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-68378066074585790902011-07-04T01:21:29.240+08:002011-07-04T01:21:29.240+08:00You wanna to work for them ? well, I think u need ...You wanna to work for them ? well, I think u need to learn your mother tongue well in order for u to dream of that !<br /><br />man without knowing his mother tongue is like human without soul !<br /><br />u got it ?Verdicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845454760825339051noreply@blogger.com
