understanding is important

"In their eyes, we're just thugs screaming in the streets." Not at all. The Yi-S-Lan civilization is outstanding. Its people have their own traditions and pride, and naturally they will also be confused and confused.

It's a pity that we know too little. Every time we see news from the Middle East, it's just a phone call, and it's all about watching footage from European and American countries. What do they think about themselves, what do we think about them? Mu Si Lim is not new. As soon as Caliphate established the country, our history books are widely recorded, and the history books of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties record the history of the Western Regions, and the information has always been detailed. Although they have been at war for a long time, they can understand what they are thinking. Today, when communication is more convenient, but it is isolated? In 2009, "Dushu" published an article on the study of frontiers in the northwest frontier. It talked about the transformation and inheritance of old academic traditions. I think it is very reasonable. Studying in Europe and the United States has its own strengths, and many places are indeed unmatched, such as "International Relations of the Chinese Empire". But we always have to see the problem with our own eyes, because it is we who have to face and solve the problem.

Such as Xinjiang. Training bilingual cadres, economic development, and setting up inland Xinjiang and Xinjiang classes are really good, but is it really useful to hold on to "homogenization"? There is an article in Dushu about the spread and development of Uyghur pop music. The authors argue that it is also rooted and evolving. Unlike Lhasa bars that sing mainland songs and Lijiang bars that sing foreign songs, Wu Lu Mu Qi has his own band and music. We have a skewer master here, and his tape recorder plays Uighur songs all the year round.

As far as I am concerned, I only know about the history and culture of Europe and the United States. What is Magna Carta, the War of the Roses, the Tudor Dynasty, Henry VIII, the Religious Reformation, and the history and culture of Japan. Oda, Toyotomi, etc., but five words about Islam cannot be written. They and I are both Chinese, isn't this very dangerous?

Understanding each other will not eliminate differences, but it will at least reduce misunderstandings.

Persepolis quotes

  • Marjane as a teenager: Promise you won't ask me any questions.

  • Marjane's grandmother: [watering flowers] Ha. Serves them right. Why you practically snipped off their little thingies. Will you please take off that god-awful veil? It makes me claustrophobic.

    Marjane as a teenager: [takes off her veil] I'm so used to it, I forget I'm wearing it.
