I have to confess that I really don't like politics. All I care about is how the new media influence people's life, how to persuade people into buying products, how to pull the money out of their wallet. About fast moving consumer goods, cosmetics, fashion and luxury goods. This seems to be superficial while others are drastically talking about democracy, civil rights or even the future of the country. But just like there are people who are wild about politics, let me be the one who have no interest in it.

The saying that "all Fudan students have is a free but useless soul" suddenly occurred to me today. Maybe this is exactly true. Students from Beijing especially those from Peking University used to frequently involve themselves in political campaigns. While students from Shanghai cares more about the way how they live. Of course especially those from Fudan. The north cares about the country while the south cares about themselves. This is not a right or wrong thing. It's just the way who you live and think. What is improtant is not pretending to be scholarly so that others will regard you as sapient but to stick to your own cognition and not be influenced by others. So, just let free and useless be free and useless. And just let the south be the south.
