I was not born in Japan but from my understanding of Chinese history Japan still inherits the good old Chinese tradition which most of Chinese don't carry now. Although Japan has been the head country in economy and high-tech(let's disgard the recent Asia problem) I notice the younger Japanese generation are losing the good tradition which will eventually endanger the country in the long term. I personally insist that we should keep the good old tradition forever to save this. One thing I need to recomand young Japanese generation is to strengthen their Kanji. In the old texts there are lots of wisdom and intelligence inside. Don't miss it. Charles Liang, Toronto
