"The grass looksgreener on the other side of the fence." That's an old1in English. It means other places oftenlook better, more interesting than the place in2you live. Some people worry3young Chinese are beginning to feelthat way.
They see youngChinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and,4, buying Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreignbooks and soap operas are good,5 Chinese writers and actors are just as good.As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can6have the meaning for Chinese thatSpring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumnFestival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:7 friendliness. Not all countries are as8 as China.
It's good to enjoyother cultures and9from them, but they cannot replace yourown culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but10you take a good long look. You willfind that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
