Tomb-sweeping Day!
The Tomb-sweeping Day had passed, I went back to my old home at Luo Yang with my GF, it was the first time she met my parents and everything appears going smoothly except that there are so many people on the train. -:)
I cannot stop sweating on the train at late night of 2th, April, many people travelling by that train which made it crowd, it is probably because of the holiday or the Peony fair (Luoyang peony has become famous for a long time in China and abroad, Peony fair has become Luoyang’s new visiting card) .
Definitely, there are huge mount of people in China, but how can we complain about “crowd” to “many people”? On such large main land, how many railway do we have? and how many highways do we have? Every year, citizens contribute a lot of money to road maintenance, but why they cannot gain benefit from it?
Why the representatives of the two conferences (NPC and CPPCC) can gain extra privilege when using the road, why citizens and other cars need to waiting till the leaders car left? Does that mean citizens need not to pay tax and all the taxes should be paid by governments’ leaders?
When the NPC&CPPCC comes, every sub-way station takes rare strict safety inspection, which is obsoletely different with normal, does that means the representatives worth much than their civil?
We always have money for enjoying banquets using public funds while always lacking of money for a road for civil.

Sounds like it’s time for a tea party.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement
When some people get sick of their civil “servants” taking their taxes and giving nothing back, they throw a tea party. About 200 years ago, such a party caused the birth of a great nation. Can history repeat itself?

@Rick, It seems that nobody want to draw on the experience of others, even others say it is bad. so the bad history repeat again and again!
