When modernity dates tradition and East meets West
BEIJING - Qixi, called the Chinese Valentine’s Day by some, falls on Thursday, one day before the big show -- the Beijing Olympics.
For visitors traveling to China for the Games, their trip and feelings about this country would, on one hand, help them draw the seeing-is-believing conclusion of what it is with this ancient civilization’s modernization and economic boom. On the other hand, it’s a fine chance they are likely to discover other aspects of the country that is about tradition.
The forward and courageous dragon-shape design of the new Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport, the costly Bird’s Nest to be used as the main stadium for the Olympic, and the National Center for the Performing Arts all make a loud statement that this country is rapidly catching up; but deep inside, its people still hang on fast to what their ancestry has handed down.
Newcomers will find contemporary China a seamless integration of modernity and traditions, and the coexistence of East and West, which could be easily observed in the actions of a young man a day before Qixi. |
