I am not good at forcing someone actually I guess me also hate that. It would be nicer to regard both my and youngstudent's comment as kinda postive perspective for Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts”. No offense to your understanding. It's just normal to say I like this, I don't like that, you know. The point is, it seems will surely get into trouble everytime a Chinese saying "Well, we Chinese people..." before a foreigner no matter what true idea he wants to show. Annoying. anyway, I am not gonna join them so keep cool you guy. I would say these stupid stuffs regularly happen coz there is ONE THING you can hardly know and I now surrender to argue it anymore, ok let it go. I sometimes believe that silence gives deeper thinking and understanding. Have fun =) No problem Brendan. I am not good at forcing someone actually I guess me also hate that.

I don't like the poem very much, not for any lack of understanding, but rather because it doesn't do anything for me on an aesthetic level. Please don't get into the whole "我们中国人..." thing; it's iritating and condescending, and I'm really not in the mood to hear it again for the millionth time at the moment. Sorry to be snappish. I've been in a lousy mood for the last few days. studentyoung/kastner — Thanks for the information, but here’s a suggestion: when other people have a different opinion from you, it’s not necessarily because they don’t understand.
