Writing about an unfamiliar country can be difficult for anyone, but when we’ve heard so much about it, we can dare to write.
The imposing China has always been on our radar, from our high school days, to our university days, and today as journalists.
Its majestic wall, a history that protected and guarded China’s most important secrets, but one of its greatest discoveries escaped and revolutionized the world: gunpowder.
China is a nation characterized by its discipline, order, and its capacity for development in virtually every area.
It’s incredible how China simultaneously nurtures its traditions, its customs, its history, and travels in a parallel world where it evolves with its technology and introduces its products to the world.
China is present in every corner of the world, from an ornament, a piece of plastic, a piece of clothing, a cell phone, a television, or even a state-of-the-art vehicle. The question is how they did it, how they conquered the world without firing a single bullet, using only ingenuity, perseverance, and wisdom from above.
The question is, why has China evolved and we haven’t? We still have time to imitate their example of self-improvement and perseverance, and join the great celebration of development and prosperity.
