my perception, however, changed after a hiking trip to the eastern suburbs, a scenic
area of my city. my classmates and i were walking with some international students. as we walked out of the city, we found ourlves flanked by taller and taller trees, which formed a huge canopy above our heads. suddenly an international student asked me, where is the entrance to the eastern suburbs?
were already in the eastern suburbs, i replied.
he emed taken aback, i thought you chine have walls for everything. his remark t off a heated debate. at one point, he likened our walled cities to jails, while i insisted that the eastern suburbs were one of the many places in china that had no walls.
that debate had no winners, but i did learn a lot from this international student. for instance, he told me that universities like oxford and cambridge were not surrounded by walls; the campus were just part of the cities. i have to admit that we do have many walls in china, and as we are developing our country, we must carefully examine them, whether they are physical or intangible. we will keep some walls but tear down tho that impede chinas development. adis
let me give you an example.
ason a year ago, when i was working on a term paper, i needed a book on business law and found a copy in the law school library. however, the librarian turned down my request with a cold shoulder, saying, you cant borrow this book, you are not a student here. in the end, i had to spend 200 yuan buying a copy; meanwhile, the copy in law school was gathering dust on the shelf.
at the beginning of this mester, i heard that my university has started not only to unify its libraries but also link them up with libraries of other universities, so my experienc
e will not be repeated. barriers will be replaced by bridges. through an inter-library loan system, we will have access to books from any library. with globalization, with china integrated into the world, i believe many of the intangible walls will be knocked down.
巴西世界杯抽签 i know globalization is a controversial issue, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. but one thing is for sure: it draws our attention to chinas tangible and intangible walls and forces us to examine their roles in the modern world.
and how about the ancient walls in my city and other cities? should we tear them down? just the opposite. my city, like beijing and other cities, is actually making a great effort to prerve the walls. the walls attract not only historians and archeologists but also many schoolchildren trying to study our history and cultural heritage. walls have turned into bridges to our past and to the rest of the world. if the ancient builders of the walls were still alive today, they would be proud to e such great change in the
scatolo role of their walls. they are now bridges that link east and west, south and north, and all countries of the world. our cultural heritage will survive globalization.
