Chinese Reading Habits?

[Anonymous No.22616102]

We all know they’re desperate to imitate Golden Age Western culture, but do they actually read our classics? Are they taught our literature in schools?

Asking because I want to bed one of them and discuss classical literature

Liu Cixin in his scifi trilogy often mentions Western literature. That's all I can contribute to this dumb thread.

Chinks are literally the ugliest and least attractive out of all Asians.

I lived in a wealthy second-tier city in China with some good universities. Good bookstores abounded and everyone I interacted with was a very active reader. Kids and old folks read Wuxia novels voraciously, and the university crowd read their Tang and Song poets alongside Cavafy and Apollinaire. It could just have been a function of where I was, but I really did feel more among thinking people there than anywhere else. Of course there was censorship and of course there were the small inconveniences of life, but all in all it was the best time of my life. God, I miss it so much. Fuck COVID.

All the genuine defenders of the English tradition I've met have been Latins, Jews, or Chinese. The blame barely rests on the pink haired types, who mostly grow out of it: it rests squarely on the old anglo families who scoff at their own heritage in favor of 16-hour workdays in a the financial sector and self-help rags of all types. God I scorn them so much.,

>Jews are defenders of western culture
/pol/ told me they were the destroyers. Have I been lied to?

[Anonymous No.22616283]

>>22616256
I think the whites are slowly turning into Jews all by themselves through racial degeneration. The Semites too have been, in antiquity, founders of states, bringers of laws in the Middle East. Then, after degenerating, they became the corruptive element of society.

I didn't say
>Jews are defenders of western culture
I said that all defenders of English literary tradition whom I have met have been Latin, Jewish, or Chinese: that is, non-Anglo.
Leave that simplistic /pol/ shit elsewhere and learn some set notation maybe. I am making a remark.

[Anonymous No.22616298]

>>22616296
It's true. The Germanic race, founders of states, inventors of the law, now have become the corrupting element of society, willing to destroy them.

You can read that if you want. I didn't say that and frankly have little interest. My interest is in English and Chinese letters.

[Anonymous No.22616308]

>>22616296
But there is still a contradiction between /pol/'s statement
>all jews attack western culture
Which is equivalent to
>no jews defend western culture
Which is contradictory to your statement
>some jews defend western culture
This contradiction is what I question

[Anonymous No.22616314]

>>22616308
Okay. Then in my experience, /pol/ is blatantly wrong on the first point in some significant way.

Classic Chinese literary culture was better than the Jew dick sucking Western one.
Go ahead and corrupt more cultures with your trashy overrated legacy.

>but do they actually read our classics?
Probably, but they have classics of their own. The Chinese canon is probably the only real competitor to the Western canon, and it does actually put up a good fight.

[Anonymous No.22616898]

>>22616707
I'd say Chinese by itself couldn't, but if you add Japanese literature to form some sort of Far Eastern Canon, and add the Sanskrit Buddhist texts, that would tie with the Western canon

with the removal of the legal class system, in order to stay at the top, it's mandatory for the bourgeois and nobles to participate in the financial sectors which they already control anyway. Plus those people being hedonists they want more and more orgies and opulence of orgasms which cost more and more

They're more well read than typical Americans. I've been surprised that they not only read their own classics (and you're seen as retarded if you haven't) but the major Russian, English, and American classics as well at an early age. The English classes try to get them to enhance their vocab as much as possible instead of introduce them to contemporary identity plot novels like in the West.
>>22616246
But like this anon said, most are reading wuxia and similar online novels. There's also a lot reading nonfiction. Their thirsty for knowledge is insatiable.

Tell us more about your life in China, anon. Are there a lot of differences between a second and first tier Chinese city?

[Anonymous No.22619338]

>>22619311
Second-tier cities are nicer. Shanghai is is pricy as a European capital and not that different. If you are willing to live essentially a Chinese lifestyle then second tier cities are just better.
