  My motherland has endured so much, it brings tears to my eyes. Whether you agree or not, every Chinese person in the world agrees that they are descendants of the dragon.

  I spent 18 years studying and working in Western countries, from age 12 to 30. Now I’m back in China, grinding my small part at what I do best to help make our country great—and there are millions of Chinese like me returning to the motherland each year with the same ideology. It’s the same story, only this time with more Western knowledge in the mix.

  As an ethnic Chinese, I used to look forward to China moving towards democracy, but after living aboard for decades, I figured that in the current world order, democracy just means the eradication of national and ethnic identity in the name of equality and giving up sovereignty to foreign capital, lobbyists and the one world government.

  I live in a rural area in Northeast China. There&apos;s still a big gap between my hometown and big cities, and it&apos;s relatively poor and underdeveloped. But we are striving to build it into a better place.<br><br>May everyone keep a heart of kindness, integrity, courtesy, good sense and credibility, treat others with sincerity and friendliness, abide by rules and keep promises, and tell right from wrong.<br><br>May people all over the world, regardless of race, skin color, country or belief, respect and tolerate each other, help one another, set aside conflicts and differences, and stay away from wars. Let us pursue peace and development together, unite as one, and work to build a beautiful home for everyone.

  There was no CRACK DOWN ON Hong Kong. There was simply another attempt by colonial countries to try and recoloniliaze Hong Kong. &nbsp;After they fool the kids that they would have more freedom than as a part of China. After it failed some of the leaders went to Britain and couldn&apos;t even get employment there. They end up being afraid to return even after becoming homeless and broke.

  I had a great teacher at the University, and he summarized the difference between West and Chinese perspectives beautifully:<br>West: &quot;We have the world&apos;s greatest civilization, so let&apos;s show it to the entire world.&quot;<br>China: &quot;We have the world&apos;s greatest civilization, so let&apos;s preserve it.&quot;

  It can be seen that Westerners&apos; view of Chinese history has an obvious misunderstanding that even many Chinese people who do not have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Chinese history will make - they only see that Chinese history is like a circle and simply attribute it to a simple cycle, a repetition of history. This mechanical view of history is easy to understand but makes it difficult for people to think deeply. It causes people to ignore the different era-specific problems each dynasty faced. The Qin Dynasty solved the problem of whether China could be institutionally unified, while the early Han Dynasty faced the difficulty of maintaining such an institutional unification. The Sui and Tang Dynasties, inheriting from the Northern Dynasties, addressed the issues of institutional construction for a multi-ethnic unified dynasty and expanding the basic foundation of governance. The Song Dynasty was the first to attempt to build a new political system completely different from the classical militaristic system in an era when imperial power was being demystified... The repeated unifications are only superficial; their essence lies in the fact that people of each era solved the structural and institutional problems that caused chaos in the world at that time. The Jin Dynasty evaded this problem, so it perished miserably. This is the true meaning of what we call a spiral upward: each unification represents significant development, and each time of conforming to the will of the people essentially means solving the problems of the people in that era. Hence, the Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, while Wang Mang failed when he imitated the politics of the Zhou Dynasty - using the methods of a previous version cannot defeat the challenges of the current version. Understanding this allows us to better comprehend that what we are doing now is not repeating the Han and Tang Dynasties, but making progress. We are creating a brand-new China and a better life by solving our current internal and external problems, and it is just that the final form will manifest as the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. This task is extremely arduous, so much so that even if the United States were to collapse tomorrow, we cannot afford to relax, because our mission has not yet been accomplished. The United States is merely an external manifestation of the difficulties in achieving this mission; it is not our goal.

  The overseas Chinese also preserved everything. This is why many Southeast Asian countries&apos; economy are dominated by local Chinese. For instance, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia. The Chinese are masters of adaptation , they can easily climb their way up in a foreign society despite starting from scratch (poverty). <br><br>They also have a strong live for the motherland (not politically). When China was invaded by Japan, thousands of Overseas Chinese rallied and entered China to deliver supplies and fight against the Japanese. When Japan invaded the Southeast Asian countries, the Chinese never gave up. For example: When Malaya was occupied by Japan and the fall of the last Malay Regiment at Bukit Chandu, the Malayan Chinese actively fought against the Japanese through underground organizations. That&apos;s the birth of Malaya&apos;s people&apos;s communist volunteer army. They protected the locals from the Japanese until the end of the war, they also went on a hunt for traitors (individuals working for the Japanese). When the British returned and reoccupied Malaya, the army dissolved. Today, schools in Malaya ruined the reputations of the local Chinese by giving false narratives, but there are Chinese associations preserving it and sharing it to the public via independent museums. China also acknowledged the help of overseas Chinese, a large memorial dedicated to the nameless and forgotten Chinese heroes of SEA in Yunnan.

  Now the new Japanese PM tries to stand in the way of Chinese reunification. &nbsp; Even though Cairo Declaration 1943 signed by the U.S., UK, and China mentioned quite clearly that Taiwan is one of the Chinese territories stolen by Japan should be returned to China.
