What it Feels to be a Student During the Cultural Revolution

It was a sad rainy day; a sharp and very brief sound comes through the clouds like a giant drum along with a giant strike next to it. I am Li Ming, and I lived through the Cultural Revolution. The amounts of antique items I broke is worth more than your spending’s in your entire life. Let me explain what happened during this time period, read my journal.

 

Many things have changed throughout the revolution. For example, many peasants were able to have a greater choice on their jobs, before they could only choose some normal jobs like farming and factory labor. But now, you could create your own company or create a small industries and others. And with the revolution, the big amount of tourism to china can be observed easily, many places in China are linked with railroads and air. Also, the cities exploded, many cities dramatically increased its technology and wealth. However, although the Cultural Revolution is started to change China, but many also stayed the same. For example, with the start to the end of the revolution, China was still Chinese Communist party and that there is only one-party leader. As well as the people’s thinking on Mao, Chairman Mao in many Chinese people’s mind are still a great leader. Last but not least, many old things were destroyed by the Red Guards but the Four Olds still remained a lot in the world.

How the Chinese Cultural Revolution Caused a Historic Change

The  causes of the Chinese Cultural Revolution were because that in order to reassert his authority over the Chinese government, Mao Zedong tried to use the Revolution to reassert his control over the Communist Party.  Although millions of civilians died, tortured and suffered humiliation. The revolution was a big change for China, the revolution helped China made a sharp turn towards the international economy and market, peasants were able to have a greater choice, being able to choose different crops and creating other small industries and others. However, some continued to be the same, farmers are still farming and suffering from hunger, but for the long-term, it will impact China for a long time and help China developing.

 

If You Ever Get Lost in the Antarctic, Read this Book

 

The book  i’m going to tell about is called “Lost in the Antarctic” by Tod Olson. This book is about an real event that happened during the World War I. In this book a very famous Antarctic explorer Shakleton and his crewmates were stuck in the Antarctic and they were trying to survive and return to their homes. Tod Olson believed that Hope often helps people to believe and trust.

You should definetly read this book as theres a lot of interesting areas in the book such as describing how harsh it was in the Antarctic for example how cold and terrible it was to be on the ice travelling and how much fun they had playing sports on the ice. It is like as if you were really stuck in the Antarctic with them. Also, in the book there is a lot of pictures that was tooken by the crews members, the pictures have cute animals such as puppies and penguins as well as the mountains in the Antarctic and the ship itself. Last but not least, the event that happened in the book actually happened in the real world so while you are enjoying the book you are also learning the history.

One thing I learned from this book is that no matter how little chances you have, it is always worth a try. Before, when there was only a little chance I would just stop but once after i fnished the book I know that even when theres only a little chance it is still worth a shot to try.

 

What is Humanism

Overall, I would say that i am a 85% Humanist. I would say this because I like to discover artifacts and humanities. But however, I do not study a lot in science and culture.

Why Working Is Important

The little girl said to him: “Red Squirrel, you don’t have to work, do you? You may just play and eat nuts from morning till night. Isn’t that all?”                                                                                                                                                                                       “’Not work!’ chattered the Red Squirrel. ‘Why, I am working now, and I worked all day yesterday, and all of the day before. I have a family living in the old oak tree, and I must store away nuts for the winter. I have no time to stop and play.”’ The little girl’s mother wants the little girl to work, but the little girl doesn’t want to work instead she wants to find someone to play with her. But they all refuse the little girl and states that they have work to do. If you avoid working or tries to be lazy, then you will not be able to reach anything.

 

In the book “The Little Girl Who Would Not Work” by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, an elementary school principal. The author believes that if you avoid work or try to be lazy, you will not reach anything. At the start of the story, the little girl’s mom wanted her to work but the little girl only wanted to play: “Oh, mother, I do not like to work. Please let me go to the woods and play just a little while before I do my tasks” (Bailey 3). This shows that the little girl does not want to work and tries to avoid working by playing in the woods. One connection to myself is when my mom wants me to help her do some work like doing dishes, I always would find an excuse to not do the work. As the story continues, the little girl asks the ant to play with her, but the ant said, “’ Oh, no, I couldn’t stop to play. Once someone stepped upon our house and crushed it.” […] “We Ants thought we would go and hunt for a ready-made house, but we travelled a very long way, and we were not able to find a house ready-made, and we were obliged to come home and build” (Bailey 11).  This shows that even if you were working, but if you are being lazy your entire progress might be destroyed, and other people’s work might also be destroyed because of your laziness. I have a connection to myself, when I was working in a group, I was being lazy and didn’t want to work and because of my laziness, it caused my entire group to have a bad grade. Overall, if you try to avoid work or try to be lazy, you will not be able to reach anything.
