What do Chinese think about four great classical novels of Chinese literature?
This is an answer to a question on Quora - What do Chinese think about four great classical novels of Chinese literature?Do all Chinese read them? Do they study them in their School curriculum? Are they very popular?
Here is what i posted:
They are very popular, but for their stories, not for the original literature. The original book’s popularity is a kind of limited to the professional literature study field.
Chinese who are familiar with the novel itself is far less than Chinese who know the plots well. So many artworks pay tribute to them that even you've never read them, you can tell the plots as well. Many stories in the book have been adapted into TV shows, films, and dramas. And lots of operas, songs, and even dances are also related to them. In this aspect, it's somehow like the Bible. A further dimension of the literary importance of the Bible is that it is the primary source and influence for English and American literature. Four great classical novels show various facets of Chinese culture and, similarly, provide important materials for art reproductions. And those art reproductions make the stories even more popular in turn.0 votedJanuary 4, 20172My most memorable vacation.
My family vacation at Phu Quoc island in Spring of this year was the most memorable. Our family included 6 persons: my parents, my brother, my aunt, my cousin and I. We traveled to Phu Quoc in wonderful days. The climate was comfortable. We joined in some tours there. For example: South Island tour, Star Beach tour, Vinpearl land tour. They were truly good trips. We stayed there for 6 days, and I really wanted to stay longer. The most things I liked most there were fresh seafood, wonderful beaches, beautiful villas... and especially I appreciated our time together. My parents liked most activities in South Island tour. They enjoyed the great time of diving. Creatures in the sea were diverse. My brother and my cousin seemed to like activities in Vinpearl land. If The next time I travel to Phu Quoc next time, I will spend the whole time in Star Beach, which has white sand and long, shallow water. This was the most fantastic beach that I have ever seen.0 votedJanuary 4, 20170Living abroad
I used to live in the US for two years.
It was a wonderful and exciting experience.
I went to many places and met various people.
I enjoyed life in there but it was also so lonely because I was alone without my family and friends.
When I went to a nice place I always thought I wise wish my people were also here with me.
I came back to my country and live with my family and friends.
It's good now.
However I want to go somewhere also.
I know that is not easy and so lonely.
I hope to go to Europe and live there someday.0 votedJanuary 4, 20172Notting hill
Notting hill is a film about love. It is a story about a superstar from America who loves a common man who lives in Notting Hill in London.
Julia Roberts played the superstar in this movie. I like her smile and appearance. Hugh Grant played the hero and is from the UK. I heard that the man was cheating.
I believe that true love never goes away by the film. So I will expect my true love.0 votedMay 15, 20130Why People Decline Interviews
As a student who majors in journalism, I have to do some interviews. This semester I have made two news programs, and during the production period many people declined to be interviewed. One person had even agreed to but turned it down a few days later. Why do people act like this? Here are some of my views:
1、I came across someone who was in a hurry to get to work and had no time to answer my simple question with a simple "yes or no".
2、They don't have enough confidence to face the camera and feel awkward with the microphone in front of his/her mouth.
3、The question I asked is too complicated to understand. (My skill of expressing needs to be improved.)
4、It is hard for people to speak their true feelings inside their heart due to the sensitive authourity and they don't want to make trouble.
(Many cases like this. Like someone told me "I can tell you everything but you can't broadcast it out.")
5、People also have the attitude that this is "none of my business" (as a Chinese proverb said "I just came here to buy a bottle of sauce.")
Of course people have the right to reject an interview but on the other hand they also have the obligation to speak the truth. With the rapid development of the economy the past few years people can take part in the establishment of a more harmonious society. The reason why I want people to participate in interviews is that I expect they can tell the public and the authourity their thoughts directly and express themselves efficiently.0 votedMay 14, 20130Give me five !
