]]> Comment on Bullying in China by Father of my child http://connieinchina.org/2012/04/19/bullying-in-china/#comment-567 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:23:30 +0000 http://connieinchina.org/?p=1104#comment-567 Thanks for sharing your experience Connie.
I have come across this article on searching bullying in China.
Being in college seems to me that most of your students are relatively educated.
It is very true in some of your point regarding the Chinese culture, for example: being togetherness and unity. It is very likely for the “different” to be bullied. Especially having a different thought and mentality rather than the appearance.

In my personal opinion is that the bullying in China v.s. US could be somewhat different due to the different culture:

Chinese culture: emphasis on unity and togetherness.
US culture: emphasis on heroism and individuality.

Culture difference and race issue is not a new thing in the US since we hear stories everyday. Most people have experienced the dissimilar culture and respect the differences.
I could be wrong, but I can only imagine a different ethnicity from a different background try to fit in locally in China being tough at a young age.

]]> Comment on 5 Years Later: It’s Happening . . . . Again??!! by Kate http://connieinchina.org/2013/04/20/5-years-later-its-happening-again/#comment-546 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 03:21:19 +0000 http://connieinchina.org/?p=1946#comment-546 Know I am thinking of you just now! I woke at 0600 today reaching for my computer and turning on the TV to check on the activities in Boston and immediately saw news from China. I was glad to find your note… I was reminded earlier this week of the strength of a earthquake as we felt the energy of the one along the border of Iran/Pakistan for some 45 seconds on the 18th floor of our son’s apt. here in Abu Dhabi. Will be watching for further news during the day. Take care!
