CHINA 80s AND NOW

Fragmentary pictures next to each other but enough to understand the force of globalization on people and their lives. After only twenty years, the history of the Asian giant teaches us that terrible tragedies have taken place in that land and in men who have inhabited it. Nowadays, with the globalization from which even China has not been able to escape, people are losing their historical memory and the culture that has been their cultural glue for centuries. It might be too early to say that all these things are either positive or negative, but we definitely know that both the cultural leveling and the disappearance of cultural diversity does not lead to a global wellbeing. And even China is not an exception to this rule
