Long Live The Emperor!

Things have gone quite terrific for Mr Xi Jinping, as well as the Chinese people since he came to be the ruler of 1.3 billion populations. The CC Government is so much cleaner and more efficient. His anti-corruption campaign won him rounds of applauses from village to the capital, with a recent example of rounding up a Tiger Zhou Yongkong. The Chinese’s economy stays on prosperity – its booming prosperity enable more Chinese, than at any point in history, to afford a green card and immigrate to the US and other Western countries. Indeed a fine achievement as it is, serves conveniently as a beautiful echo to Mr Xi’s quote: “ In many ways the Chinese Dream is not different from the American one.” – most of the Americans prides themselves on their US passports, and so do the Chinese people. China has never been so stable and staunch before - Noises of demanding democracy in Hong Kong is stifled, and in the West, too. The whole world is desperate to do business with the Chinese. Money does not only talk, it also teaches one to talk properly. The “foreign devils” ’ve learnt some manners in the end to speak our language. The Opium humiliation is half-cleansed. They now know to stop using offensive language like human right, democracy, and freedom of speech to hurt a Chinese’s pride and feelings, but put on an ingratiating face like Mr. Cameron. Mr Xi’s remarkable leadership earned him an enviable title from the Time Magazine as “Emperor Xi.” Neither Mr Mugabe nor Mr Putin has such honour yet. The Chinese people have never had it so good. 

I feel compelled not be complacent about our great country achievement in spite of myself. China is still riddled with problems. Too many people are ungrateful for what they possess. Let’s take a recent example in Hong Kong. Few groups of students, who are no doubt the minority, has blocked the streets in the city’s financial hub since October to fright for democracy in a name of civil disobedience. This generation of young lads are greedy, and ungrateful. One has to put things into perspective: now young people have, food, shelter, iPhone, condoms, and facebook, something that their grandparents did not take it for granted. When they dear grandfather was still a virgin, he did not have anything as mentioned above but famine. It is good enough to have one stomach stuffed with food, but has one brain to stuff with democratic ideas, oversteps the mark. Also, a national uniqueness of the Chinese, is to be respected. Unlike many other countries, we are quite different. In light of Mrs Laura Cha, the HSBC director, and a senior advisor in the executive council to the city mayor, retorted this democracy nonsense incisively: even the black slaves took 107 years to get the vote in the States, why cannot the Chinese people wait a bit? We should welcome the great leap forward of an evolution from no election to a rig election. We should also celebrate that we are placed in a better footing than those unfortunate black slaves – there is neither slavery nor whipping in Hong Kong. Meantime one cannot stress enough upon how gracious and magnanimous Mr Xi has been to those students: it is reported that his emperorship is an avid reader, who is interested in the enlightenment philosophers’ works, such as Voltaire and Rousseau. He certainly did learn a history lesson in 1989 in Beijing, and applied the ideas of 1700s of Europe in 2014 Hong Kong. Instead of sending tanks to trample and soldiers to shoot down those obstinate Hong Kong students in the former British colony, whose insolent desire for democracy, Mr Xi prefers communication and diplomacy. A few patriotic thugs and gangsters bravely serve their countries: they were dispatched to reason with the students, with cleavers instead of guns. How lenient! Given such open-minded and liberal approach of Emperor Xi, as a patriotic Chinese I see little ground for being pessimistic about the middle kingdom’s future. We have a more civilized approach from a nation, which constantly boasts of its 5000 years brilliant civilization in the end. A lesson learnt from 1989.

The Chinese people are closer to the Chinese Dream than ever before under the new leadership of the blessed emperor. However, the harsh reality is that, we could only wish he was immortal on his throne. This worries me deeply. But from Stalin to Putin, the Russian proves a great tutor again. The Russian has just offered a potential solution of spreading the semen of their great Tsar, Mr. Putin, to preserve his eminent DNA in order to extend the greatness of Russia. Mr Xi should certainly take this into account. Whilst time is pressed, in the short run, Mr Xi’s daughter can come as an expedient, who directly profited the genius blood and went to Harvard, to come to inherit the family dynasty? Problem solved, Chinese dream continues, although the rumor has it that she was too attached to the America air to be back to her beloved country. It does take a bit of convincing and courage to take up the Chinese’s burden. But really I will not worry myself too much – it is said that there are many great brains among 1.3 billion. Since 1949, China has been a country producing strong leaders who make big decisions and are able to leave multiple lasting legacies. Mao’s the Great famine and Cultural Revolution. Dung the World Factory and cheap labour maker. Now we have Mr Xi, a fine maker of the Chinese Dream. Keep on dreaming and we have reason to hope for a better tomorrow.
