It will be a great day, indeed, when Americans learn these traits. It would lift our spirits to participate in the kindness of sharing. It would also improve our moral fiber, thanks so much for starting this conversation in such an elegant way.
It gives me hope to hear that both the modern world can coexist with the traditions of handcrafted goods, communal meals and the focus on keeping their traditions and practices alive. You have opened my eyes to a China far from the one that is painted here. I wholeheartedly believe that this world has many countries just like this that value tradition, community, craft and well being over anything else.
Can’t wait for the next chapter. Bravo Connor.
I am so proud to see you being a voice for customs and cultures around the world and representing America the way that you do.
Wow. what a powerful insight and i profound and hopeful conclusion to your China experience. we have lost something here in the US. Perhpas we never had it, choosing to erase the traditional ways of life of the indigenous people who were here when the white Europeans arrived. this post makes me think-what are our traditions? what ways of life are we handing down for the next generations to build upon? its a bleak answer when I cant think of anything beyond hot dogs and baseball. thank you for this insightful post and the series of posts and videos i have enjoyed watching and learning from. looking forward to whats next, while valueing what past...
