Howard的两篇关于中国的日记
Howard是一个澳大利亚人。16岁以前,Howard 从来没有听说过中国的“孔子”,
也从来没有到过中国。直到16岁生日那天他突然在报纸上读到了一个关于孔子
的故事,他发现自己开始对孔子和中国很感兴趣。
1978年,19岁的Howard第一次到了中国。他参观了孔子的故乡,听当地人说
了很多关于孔子的故事,还拍了很多照片。他把这些经历都写到了他的日记里,
他说那时候当地中国人的生活水平还不太高,可是人们都很尊重孔子、了解孔子,
他们都很善良,很有礼貌。他的朋友告诉他中国其它的地方也跟这儿差不多。
2014年7月,Howard带着他18岁的侄子Mike又到了中国。 Mike正在澳大利
亚学习汉语。为了让Mike更好地了解中国的语言与文化,Howard把他带到了中国。
这一次他们去了很多地方,Howard又把看到的、听到的写到了他的日记里。
他在日记里说中国发展得太快了。这36年,中国变了很多。中国人的生活水平
提高了很多。中国有了越来越多的高楼、KFC,iPhone...中国人生活得越来越像
西方人,但是好像离孔子越来越远了。
Howard的两篇日记帮助了很多的外国人了解从1978年到2014年的中国,
也让越来越多的中国人开始看到自己这30多年的变化,开始更好地了解自己。
