Mingyi (Great Wall Of China) :
The Great Wall of China is a majestic landform that is built many years ago. I am very impressed that even in the past, with no technology, machines or even robots to help them, China is able to build such a magnificent structure. However, many people lost their lives in the process of building the structure as it was strenuous and dangerous. A part of the Great Wall of China is first built by Qin Shi Huang, who is the first Emperor of China and the wall was to protect China from attacks from tribes like the Manchus. It was finished in the Ming Dynasty. I feel that it is very important to China as it is part of their past Chinese heritage and it is one of the Seven wonders in the world and is also one of the famous tourist attractions when you visit China, Bei Jing.
Wen Qing (Bird nest):
Bird's Nest is situated in Olympic Green Village, Chaoyang District. It was designed as the main stadium of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The Olympic events of track and field, football, gavelock, weight throw and discus were held there. Since October, 2008, after the Olympics ended, it has been opened as a tourist attraction. Now, it's the center of international or domestic sports competition and recreation activities. It is designed uniquely like how a birds nest would look like. The form of the stadium looks like a big nest which embraces and nurses human beings. Also it looks rather like a cradle bearing human beings' hope of the future. I think it meant alot to the Chinese as it is where the Olympics were held, one of the biggest event in the world. And China also hired foreign architects to design the stadium. Birds nest is certainly worth visiting as it allows you to wonder which aspects of the structure are functional and which have been included for appearance alone!
Yih Jie (Tian an men) :
The tian an men protest is caused by many issues including the death of Hu Yaobang and political corruption. I think that the way the government reacted to the protestors is very brutal. The protests were forcibly suppressed by hardline leaders who ordered the military to enforce martial law in the country's capital. Troops with assault rifles and tanks inflicted casualties on unarmed civilians. The number of deaths even ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand. This shows that China is not acceptive of other ideas and will do anything to stop it even if it means to use extreme measures like harming or killing the people. The protestors were defenseless and China could have used a better solution instead of just using violence.
Eugene (Great Wall Of China) :
The Great Wall of China has became a tourist attraction ever since it had been built finish and the dynasties ended. It felt majestic as it was so long and it holds great history behind the China's history, the wall was actually in the first place not built as a tourist attraction but was built as a wall of defense against their foes. It is located in Beijing and I believe that the Chinese are all really proud of this creation as it is one of the places that are a must see when going to China. I feel that this creation has helped the Chinese in many ways not only in defending in the past but now, it still helps by leading as a tourists attraction in China. I think that we should learn to treasure one of the many artifacts that has been left in the world for such a long time as many have been destroyed just for our own purposes. This way, tradition would always be remembered and kept within us.
Si Min ( Chiang Kai Shek) :
Chiang Kai Shek was a Chinese politicL and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975. He was also the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and take over Sun Yat Sen's place as a leader of Kuomintang after Sun Yat Sen died in 1925. I felt that Chiang Kai Shek isn't as good as compared to Sun Yat Sen. As before Sun Yat Sen Passed away, he didn't create lots of trouble and even tried to have reforms to modernize China. However, Chiang Kai Shek have wars like Shanghai Massacre. Even though Chiang Kai Shek has created lots of trouble ,I think we should learn from his leadership skills as he had lead his troops very well into the war.
