Sharing new drought tolerant maize with farmers in Yunnan Province, China


Image by CIMMYT
Farmers in the village of Songshuwa, Yunnan Province, China, receive samples of seed of new drought tolerant varieties from Fan Xingming (left), then Director General of the Institute of Food Crops, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (YAAS) and now YAAS Director, during a visit by participants in the Asian Maize Network (AMNET). Maize is the main crop in southwest China and the preferred staple food for many ethnic minority populations. Drought is the primary constraint on maize production: in 2008, when this photo was taken, drought had been a problem in 6 of the last 10 years in Songshuwa. Farmers also seek varieties with good yields, disease resistance, feed quality, and other desirable characteristics.

Question by Anniieee…x: What is the culture in China like today?
I know that China is quite westernised now but in what specific areas? What aspects of china have remained traditional? this country has a really interesting history but i don’t know much about it in modern life. Can someone give me some basic information on modern Chinese culture?

Best answer:

Answer by Matt T
I guess those living in the rural mountains of Central China would have the purest and unadulterated Chinese culture nowadays.

The Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong completely eradicated customs and traditions that are special to the Chinese. This created a generation of spoiled brats who don’t know a whit about their own culture.

China Rich Kids Forum


Image by BoydJones
Beijing points way for children of the rich
He Huifeng
Jul 27, 2010

From www.scmp.com

It was a course for the true economic elite. Hundreds of children from the mainland’s wealthiest families gathered to hear words of wisdom from the people who advise the country’s top leaders.
The topics ranged from ancient emperors’ secrets about managing the succession of power to the strategies used by the People’s Liberation Army to keep its soldiers loyal.

The course, sponsored by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce in Beijing, caught the nation’s attention and quickly turned into a hot internet discussion topic because it was tailored for what Xinhuanet called "the second generation of the rich", whose family companies have blossomed since the nation embraced capitalism in 1979.

Question by Obser V: Some questions for people livining in Shanghai, China (Concerning the international population/education/lang)
1. It seems like the number of international students in Shanghai has increased dramatically over the past few years. Does anyone know approximately when this jump started?

2. Are high school students of international schools in Shanghai (or those of international departments of regular high schools) mostly taught in Chinese or English?

3. Is it very common to see foreigners in public?

Tibet under China since 1958 Over 1.2 million Tibetans have died as a direct result of the Chinese invasion and occupation of Tibet. Today, it is hard to come across a Tibetan family that has not had at least one member imprisoned or killed by the Chinese regime. According to Jigme Ngabo, “after the suppressions of 1959 and 1969, almost every family in Tibet has been affected in some way”. These facts speak volumes about the “democratic reform” China claims to have brought to the “dark, feudal exploitative society” of Tibet. Independent Tibet was certainly not an embodiment of perfect human society. But it was, by no means, nearly as tyrannical as it is today under Chinese rule. Its two biggest prisons, located in Lhasa, had, at any one time, no more than 30 inmates each. But, following Chinese invasion the whole of Tibet has been turned into a vast network of prisons and labour camps. There are reports that China even resorted to massacre of prisoners to keep the prison population within manageable limits. However, China continues to claim that since its “liberation”, the people of Tibet have enjoyed wide measures of liberty and freedom. Let us examine the facts.

A few nice China facts, people society images I found:

Seoul Chinese Elementary School 韓國漢城華僑小學


Image by skinnylawyer
Myeong-dong, downtown Seoul, is home to not only Seoul’s main cathedral and many boutiques, but also a tiny Chinatown, and this elementary school is a part. It is notable that it refers to Seoul by its old name Hancheng (漢城), which remained Seoul’s official Chinese name until 2005.

Korea is a monoethnic society, but there has always been a Chinese minority. Although the port city of Incheon is the only Korean city to have an official Chinatown, Seoul’s Myeong-dong has also hosted a tiny unofficial Chinatown of sorts, as it has been home to the Chinese embassy since the 1880s. The term 華僑 ("hwagyo" in Korean), which can technically refer to any overseas Chinese, is used in Korean context to specifically refer to ethnic Chinese of Korean origin.
