China in 100th year !!!

China in 100^th year !!!

 None of the countries got sovereignty as easily as such. Today, in the world most of the countries are independent. China also got independence in the year 1911. The Xinhai Revolution or Hsinhai Revolution also known as the Revolution of 1911 or the Chinese Revolution, began with the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911 and ended with the abdication of Emperor Puyi on February 12, 1912.

Chinese celebrate their Independence Day on the 1st of October every year, marking the foundation of the People’s Republic of China. The Central People’s Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People’s Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared October 1 as the National Day or Independence Day of China. China, a cultural state and ancient civilization in East Asia, is one of the world’s oldest leading civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia.

China is the worlds longest constantly used written language system, and also the source of many of the world’s greatest inventions, including the Four Great Inventions of ancient China- Paper, the Compass, Gunpowder, and Printing. With Beijing as its capital, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the PRC under a one-party system since the state’s establishment in 1949.

“National Anthem of the Republic of China” is the present day national anthem of the People’s Republic of China, originally known as the “The March of the Volunteers” written in modern Chinese vernacular. The anthem discusses how the dream and hopes of a nation and its people can and should be achieved and maintained using the “Three Principles of the People”. Unceremoniously, the song is sometimes known as “San Min Chu-i” or “Three Principles of the People” from its opening line, but this is not used in formal or official occasions.

Political System of China refers to the political structure, fundamental laws, rules and regulation and practices that are implemented in Mainland China, and which control the state power, government, and the relationships between the state and society. Being a socialist country, led by the working class, based on the worker-peasant union and practicing people’s democratic centralism, the primary system in the country is the socialist system.

The famous historical places of China are: The Great Wall of China, The Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven, Yungang Grottoes,  Xidi and Hongcun Villages, The Summer Palace, The Old Town of Pingyao,  Taoist Buildings on Mount Wudang, The Confucian Temple, Cemetery and Family Mansion in Qufu, Classic Gardens in Suzhou, The Ancient Town of Lijiang, The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and Terracotta Warriors and Horses

We will remember a legend in Chinese entertainment diligence – Jackie Chan. He is Starring in his 100^th movie 1911, and co-directed by the star and Zhang Li, 1911 tells the story of the founding of the Republic of China when Sun Yat-sens forces overthrew the Ming Dynasty. Sun is played by look-alike Chinese actor Zhao Wen Xuan. Li Bingbing, Joan Chen and Jaycee Chan also star. This is a dramatic movie, of which Jackie Chan hopes will show the United States his ability to act in a drama. Chan plays a high ranking military officer (seems as if he is a general). It is expected that no Kung-Fu will be used, although lots battles with the use of guns in a war typesetting with weapons from the time period of 1911, what was accurately used in the Overthrowing of the Ming Dynasty by the hands of Sun Yat-sen’s forces.  The movie “1911” is going to released on 29^th Sept 2010.

 

Teaching – A line of work

“Teaching is a profession that teaches all other professions.”  I often wonder about teachers who taught for the famous people like Einstien, Abraham Lincoln, JRD TATA and so on. Were these teachers specially qualified to instigate their students to achieve fame and success? Or were these teachers are lucky to have gifted students? Even I know some teachers have rare qualities of turning them into gold?

I remember the words of Jeanette “I think mentors should be role models, but  a role model who hasn’t forgotten where s/he came from, how s/he got to where s/he is now and always looking back to see if s/he can help those that came from the very same place”.  Teachers have the qualities to become role models for their students. S/He is a creator, a director, a king maker, an artist, a philosopher, a real hero of the society.

Teachers pass on values to children, prepare them for further education and are the main contributor to good education in a society. Teachers create “humans with values” and teach the difference between right and wrong. I believe a real teacher comes about through many years of training and experiences in the field of teaching.

It is frequently said that the three main contributors to shaping our lives is God, our parents and our teachers. Alexander the Great, once said, “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.” They are one of the main pillars of a sound and progressive society. They bear the weight and responsibility of teaching and apart from parents; they are the main source of knowledge and values for children.

If there were no teachers, nobody would have known how to read or write. There is no doubt that teachers play an important role in our life, and they are the ones who create engineers and doctors in the first place. There is no other profession that can surpass the teaching profession. Teachers, therefore, rightly hold a position higher than that held by the almighty in the Indian society.
