.....to The Peoples Republic of China !
Never in the history of the world has any country risen so fast and achieved so much in a 60 year period.
While no country is perfect (China included) The Chinese people are peace loving and very friendly !
What China has become IMO is a role model for all countries in the world now and into the future !
On a side note I have been to China 7 times in the last 10 years spending a total of about 1 year in that country and I have been amazed each and every time going there at the change and progress I have seen !
So again, I wish a Happy 60th birthday to China and to all of the wonderfull people there that I have met and many who I now consider my dear friends !
I have posted a link below to a recent Time magazine article which I hope many will fine interesting and informative !

Never in the history of the world has any country risen so fast and achieved so much
absolutely true.... while no one noticed, the won the race.
i am so jealous of you, my next trip was to be to China... but i have delayed it. I am off to see Alaska first (in July 2010) before the ocean devours it with the ice cap meltdown.
its just a delay... i will get there and love it just as much as you.

shirley maclaine thinks so too. her book, you can get there from here.
i loved tang hall in reseda, ca in the 1950's. best fried shrimp ever.
great chinese food. many do still hate china and always will.
they prefer limoges china. they killed all the french foreign
legion and women and children and animals at dienbienphu.
they are not gonna forgive and forget. no matter how hard
you want them to. the americans killed in vietnam are
not gonna be forgotten either. neither are the 400 million
or so chinese murdered on the way to how now brown cow mao heaven.
neither will all those killed in the korean war be forgotten either.
oh, yeah, like its all lovey dovey and mrs. mccovey, and everyone
totally forgot and forgave and make love and make food and always whore
never go to war. sure, dream on. peace is always in abundance.
and war plans are never made by colonel sin or colonel sun or anyone.
why the world over, has forgotten the art and science of war and it
is learned no more. why this the age of everlasting felicity, and ecstasy
and bliss. and me and dizzy doll are ready to get daffy with taffy
and maccaffee in the sack with a non-existent sac all night long forever
and ever. s.a.c. strategic air command? why no such thing ever existed.
dr. strangelove? just some stupid movie, had no bearing on reality at all.
manchurian candidate, utter nonsense, had no parallell to reality at all.
another stupid movie. most people thought they were comedies.

Your blog reminds me of The day Chinese people worship the moon,most in september, it has nothing to do with religion but it shows short of that.
Thank you for sharing your very thoughtful to a great country in Asia.
Best poem about Moon Festival written by Su Shi, a famous poet of Song Dynasty
????The Moon Festival
Bright moon, when was your birth?
Winecup in hand, I ask the deep blue sky;
Not knowing what year it is tonight
In those celestial palaces on high. I long to fly back one the wind,
Yet dread those crystal towers, those courts of jade,
Freezing to death among those icy heights!
Instead I rise to dance with my pale shadow;
Better off, after all, in the world of men.
Rounding the red pavilion,
Stooping to look through gauze windows,
She shines on the sleepless.
The moon should know no sadness;
Why, then, is she always full when dear ones are parted?
For men the grief of parting, joy of reunion,
Just as the moon wanes and waxes, is bright or dim:
Always some flaw-and so it has been since of old.
My one wish for you, is long life
And a share in this loveliness far, far away!
