Yea, the great leap with it's collectivisation and the famine destroyed the social fabric. The state's policies were ridiculously destructive in every imaginable way. High estimates are that e.g. up to 80% of China's forrests were destroyed in that short period.

Of the numerous pieces of evidence that China is the new world power, the ones that have me most convinced are: -90% of males at all ages cannot use a urinal without getting at least 3 tablespoons of urine on the floor -45% of males at all ages cannot use a urinal without completely opening and lowering their belt and trousers and holding up their shirt with their hand or even with their chin

BCR posted:WALK IN, DROP TROU, SPRAY THE WALLS, CALL ME MAO You're missing quite a few steps. Proper Chinese urinal etiquette is more along the lines of... <walk in, drop cigarette butt into the urinal> <hock a loogie at the urinal, but more likely hit the wall> <unbuckle, drop trou, lift shirt> <start pissing, with a the stream starting on the floor> <rip a very wet sounding fart that definitely sprayed the inside of your underwear> <continue pissing with the stream gaining strength and hitting the wall below the urinal> <try and spit in the urinal again, but it likely drops directly on your dick> <as soon as the first 10 piss droplets enter the urinal, lose stream strength and resume pissing on the wall and then the floor> <wildly shake so that the remaining piss droplets land on your shoes and pant legs> <zip up> <leave the bathroom without even considering washing your hands> <light another smoke, then exit the building> The most disgusting thing that directly happened to me was when I was using a urinal in shorts and sandals in the summer, and some guy did this, but I could feel his wayward piss hitting my bare legs and feet. When I went to the sink and started to cup water and pour it on my legs he just looked at me and grinned. (China wins again)

THE SOLDIER: Sooooo.... I did something new. I added a girl from Tantan that seemed nice (that's not the new part). She had a sense of humor and was really not into materialism at all, and griped about how the people here are obsessed with earning and spending money on stupid poo poo. She said she couldn't understand any of it. That got my interest because this kind of thinking is rare outside the Buddhists and other religious Chinese I have met. She sent me the "what are you doing?" and I sent her a photo of my view laying on my bed with my laptop, watching a movie. She responded with a photo of her own in a similar position. I was looking at the stuff in her room when I spot a hat that looks very much like a police uniform hat. My worst fears have come true. Instead of panicking, I ask her if the hat is hers. "No, it's my sister's. She's with the police." That's bad, but not so bad. Still bad enough I might not accept to meet her. We keep talking and everything is fine and she's really nice and I could see her heart was in a very good place. She was so different from any other Chinese girl I had talked to since being back that I forgot that she was Chinese. She wanted to hang out, so we met face to face this weekend. I was waiting at the Metro station for her to arrive when I hear someone shouting "HEY!" I look up and she's there, 100m away, smiling and waving her hands above her head. She walks to the barrier and stands there, and then realizes she can't walk through it, so she goes out the actual exit and then runs to me with a grin the way a puppy is excited at seeing a big awesome dried poop to eat. I asked her what her job is. Right now it's some simple part-time things while she prepares for getting a different kind of work. "Before that, I was a soldier." What? "I was in the army (some division and title I forgot). We had to do so much exercise every day or go work somewhere. It was difficult, but I think I am not weak like other girls. I learned a lot about how to take care of myself." She wasn't joking. It was cool to walk at my normal speed and have her keep pace without complaining or asking to sit down. We wanted to go somewhere from where we met, but it was several Metro stops away (like 4km, a quick walk). I recommended we walk instead of take the train, and she said no problem. Any other girl I have met would have asked for a taxi or to get back on the train. She was the one asking me if I was tired, which is LOL considering how much I do move my body on a daily basis. While walking around, she asked me if I believe in UFOs. She said she saw one and now she really believes in UFOs, and this kind of topic is very interesting to her. I'm the paranormal dude in any group, so suddenly I'm rambling like Dale Gribble and it owned. Later we went to a rich people mall to get something to eat in the supermarket and she pointed at the shops and said "This is foreign." I was like "Yeah, those are all foreign brands." "No, I don't understand why people want to spend so much money. I can't believe this kind of living style. It's like a foreign thing to me." Well, I was so shocked at her spartan lifestyle choices and simple mindset that I broke my rule. We are not even out of January. I spent 80.60 RMB on food and drinks for us. My streak lasted me six entire months of never paying an yi jiao on any date, but she had me at "UFO" and again at "I don't like spending money." She was a very sweet, honest person, and completely different from every other Chinese girl I have met. On top of this, despite serving for the Face-havers, she admitted that she didn't think there was enough freedom here for people to believe or do what they want, and she would like to visit other places and see how the people can live their own ways and believe their own ideas. We hung out for four hours and then parted ways. Sorry, there is no plunge yet. I just thought it was interesting that the first time I ever talked to a Chinese soldier happened to be on a date with one and her telling me I am not as fat and ugly as I claim to be, and also that she was the most level-headed person I have met in this country so far. I think the puppy did enjoy this dried poop.

The only one who remained cool was the BBW, and she comes over sometimes and we watch movies and do other things together. But still, the Mongol was a wild ride and I am glad I got called a "Japanese Dick" in the process.

That reminds me; The father of one of the guys I dated was married to a Canadian woman who was probably closer to my age than his. When I met her, our eyes locked and there was immediate, silent understanding. The whole thing actually felt like he was practising for marriage. He even was dating a Chinese girl while dating me, so there's the mistress part.  Being around 15 at the time I'd had dinner with the three of them a few times, and every meal was dead silent, lest someone break the masquerade and result in loss of face. This was around 2011 so smart phones were pretty common, but even as a shallow, self absorbed, gold digging teenage girl I felt weirded out by how the three of them spent more time staring at their phones then making conversation. KillingPablo posted:Oh, had one "5000 years history lol" moment today. Was discussing how to name an upcoming event with a coworker and he suggested "Globalization and Youth Responsibilities Symposium". I pointed out 'youth responsibilities' was strange and asked its meaning so I could figure out how to change it. His response: "China and other western countries"
