The Old and The New


China is a country that is largely caught in between the old and the new and I thought this picture captured some of this struggle. They are emerging at a rapid rate and like a child, has growing pains. There are some great things about their culture that we can learn from and apply.


In general, the Chinese are still largely focused on their family. The children live with their parents and they respect their input on their lives. They also turn to take care of their parents after they are older. It always makes me thankful for my parents, but I don't think I could live with them at peace (sorry Mom and Dad)! :)
