what a honor to be nagged by you even for so long time after the "fight".
I guess, from what you wrote, you have pretty old memory about China. I wish 
I can express myself in more detail. For brief sake, I can only say what
happened in China is pretty logical. It is part of "growing pain".
I happened to be able to have "untraditional" self-education. For example,
I listened to Taiwan, U.S., Russia, Vietname's Radio even during early 80s
which was might be dangerous. I skipped classes when I was in college. Went to
libary fished around read a lot of "forbiden" Westen publications. Including
those highly critisizec "Geopolitical" publications, even ShongZhiWen's
phylosophical book. I never had my mind fixed, I did believe Westen value
stronger than anything else some time ago. But since a year or so ago, I found
thing does not add up. Please do not think it was because my personal ups and
downs. Quite frank, I am achieving most of, if not all goals I set for myself
when I stepped on air plane to U.S.. It might be because I am doing "well"
I have "extra" energy to reshaffle all the believes I had. And started to 
have different views. I do not think I can convince you anything over the net,
it might be possible through face-face conversation. I do like you to bear in
mind that people's perception could be wrong, take a second look at CHina if
possible.
will you well.
