A Chinese man by the name of Zhang Guochen has made a bold attempt that has garnered the approval of the common citizen of the Peoples' Republic of China. He mentions a 'fake life' created by a state sponsored industrialised urbanisation of Beijing is staged for every citizen. More for those who still hope to become a member of the capital's economy.
A light has been shun on this image of a dream, albeit faint in the smog of the city.
Is it the capitals of the world that make for such an ugly transformation of the Asian virtue of hospitable to its very opposite - inhospitable?
What a cost on human existence is the western capitalism exacting on Chinese industry? Is it not with the willing cooperation of the communist top nomenklatura, that such a mechanism to counterfeit existence executes a deathly, ghostly tax on every minute lived?
A time to ask questions from our side of the wall too. Sometimes there is a wonder in societies where information is closed to free press by censorship - it forms a dissident vanguard, another class of the oppressed in the very heart of the bosom of the republic of the free from the oppression of the capital. Yet it also hides a stark reality where every flower of creativity is cut before it blooms and every plant is not let to live its full cycle of life. Finally it is just weedkiller left on the field. On Chinese internet only the criticism of the piece remains forming an echochamber more easily tuned for the state mastered news.
"There are over 20 million people left in this city, pretending to live.
In reality, there simply is no life in this city. Here, there are only
some people’s dreams and everybody’s jobs." ...an excerpt from the piece Under the Dome
