The actual culture of China is not the way you see from outer fraces ,and not the fractions of dead ,even not those 'true' symbols we always talk about .This culture is living rather than dead ,though semms old enough .You can only feel it from the bottom of your heart ,or touch it with your finger ,or smell it in the air ,or hear it in the wind ,or take step on it with your feet ,etc .Our ancesters ,the brave and clever Chinese majorities protected it as precious as possible ,and handed it over generation by generation .The true Chinese culture is living in the hearts of every Chinese here ,it's never gone or destroyed .So believe your heart rather than your eyes ,feel it ,touch it ,fetch it ,and most importantly ,cherish it with your will and mind .
