This is a particular phenomenon that has been identified and named in a country due to the pressure to succeed
Yes you got it..... and the photo became a widely distributed example of the folly of seeking success
It was really about the human jungle/rat race/hamster wheel life in china has become for young people.........and how some are revolting against it... mainly materialism
That is the problem when you have a dictatorship At least in the west you have a chance to makes changes every four or five years, providing of course the opposition has anything to offer
May store up problems for the future in China... many less opportunities and they have muzzled their young people from dissent with the incentives of materialism.....
Cheers Yorkie... Which sportsman was listed as a letterman by his university for six seasons - 1928/29/30 for football and 1956/57/58 for basketball?
No. The university in question was Georgia Institute of Technology - and, dare I say it, the listings were famously 'questionable'.
I would guess that this was someone not known primarily as a sportsman - was it a former president, such as Jimmy Carter ?
No - when I said that "the listings were famously questionable", it was because the guy never existed. He's an example of what's known as a fictitious entry.
George P. Burdell ? George P. Burdell is a fictitious student officially enrolled at Georgia Tech in 1927 as a practical joke. Since then, he has supposedly received all undergraduate degrees offered by Georgia Tech, served in the military, gotten married, and served on Mad magazine's Board of Directors, among other accomplishments. Burdell at one point led the online poll for Time's 2001 Person of the Year award.[1] He has evolved into an important and notorious campus tradition; all Georgia Tech students learn about him at orientation.[2]
