Intrusion on Tomorrow

Before the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics foreigners saw China as an exotic country with a Great Wall. Intrusion on their future, in the form of ignorance, superstitions, famine, poverty, rebellions, opium, missionaries, mercenaries, trading with White Devils,floods, corrupt dynasties, and authoritarian governments kept this mysterious culture from awakening. Yet the Chinese were always creative, resilient and proud. The Middle Kingdom, advancing at lightening speed, would strive for a Tomorrow with an honorable legacy for their children.
