@li96007494 The stories about him are fascinating, it really shows why he is so deeply revered. Since you understand this so well, how do you view the Cultural Revolution in terms of what was gained and lost? I’d love to hear an insider’s perspective on this era.
@li96007494 Wow, I actually didn't know. In the past, connecting with people in China always required specific channels, and since global platforms aren't allowed there, I really didn't know how I could study it. Please tell me more, as this side of history is rarely visible to the public.
@li96007494 I understand your point that the 'truth' might be different. Please, do enlighten me on what the real history is. Since I can only study from the information that the rest of the world sees, I guess I'll never have access to the version reserved exclusively for Chinese people.
@li96007494 As an outsider, I don't mean to stir up the painful memories of past class struggles, just regret some beautiful traditions. My wish was to share this context so Thai people could understand the history behind it and empathize with Chinese people more.
@li96007494 Having visited China multiple times over the past decade, I genuinely admire your country's leapfrog growth, the progress is undeniable. Honestly, looking at my own country, I still don't see how we will be able to solve this deep-rooted problem.
@li96007494@il_LoVe_li True, real change often demands clearing the board and starting over. It has its pros and cons, breaking down the old system versus losing ancient traditions. History is ultimately a series of tough trade-offs, it really depends on what society chose to prioritize at that moment.
@lildrag8888lvmm@il_LoVe_li I wasn't sure if you meant
"If you're interested in Chinese history, my opinion doesn’t matter compared to how you reflect on it. What matters is whether you are looking for the truth or just hearing what you like. It would be better if you read traditional Chinese history."
@lildrag8888lvmm@il_LoVe_li By the way, I'm not just making this up. There is plenty of research studying this exact impact. For example https://t.co/UmpUZ8yNle and https://t.co/4bb4aanVhr
My only intention here is to learn from the past. China has a long, rich history that is truly valuable to study.
@lildrag8888lvmm@il_LoVe_li You’re completely right about Thailand’s infrastructure though, there’s a lot to improve. My tweet was simply a look at how history affects modern behavior. Wishing you all the best.
