Win hearts

B: Win hearts! A quick survey: where did you hear about this word?
A: Military!
B: Bingo! And? (Expecting the situation such as the male winning heart of the female or vice versa)
A: Confucius Institutes!
B: Huh? Interesting.

All the disaster relief actions done by the military is a form of winning hearts, nationally or internationally. Though according the humanitarian principles military is against the “neutrality” and is a big debate about whether the military can be called as humanitarians, it’s cruel to take away the credit of humanitarian actions done by military. Military’s priority purpose is to win heart. I can say that the Chinese military has been doing a great job in disaster relief, and the stories such as soldiers saving lives regardless their own security, building tents day and night without considering its own family, etc become the familiar stories at the dinner table, and people do appreciate them a lot.
The humanitarian action of military can definitely win people’s heart.



Confucius institutes (CI) wins hearts? I am not surprised.
Already heard whole a lot critics about Confucius Institutes’ fast growing and winning heart is one of the strategic purpose. First of all, Confucius is a great philosopher and teacher in history, and somehow, the philosophy is rooted inside of the Chinese people, even not everyone values his words in this modernized world, the virtues are still valued. Unfortunately in reality the CI is merely about the language without any Confucius value or philosophy. It intentionally doesn't want to add its value and philosophy for modernization is the theme. When CI namely uses the ancient philosopher Confucius’ title without his philosophy, it creates a room to be criticized in the bipolar international political environment and the Heart Winning Round I is actually lost. However, all the teachers sent from CI are innocent, and highly qualified and educated; it will be a great opportunity to win the hearts. Just hope the teachers from CI do carries a great value of Confucius so that the heart winning Round II can be accomplished. At last, the scholarship offered by CI for the international world is amazingly generous and it wins hearts in a tremendous way in this Round III.
Thus, in this case, the teachers from CI are the key of winning hearts. Pray for them as you are following me. ( I believe they all are awesome teachers!)

Okay, so let’s talk about dating in terms of winning heart.
Huh?
If you think dating is a situation of winning or losing heart, the chance of winning is supernaturally low for:
One . - you are a player and it's a game for you.
Two. - you are a not a mature player for you play too serious.
-- Joke … please relax, period.

Education? Propaganda?

Education or propaganda?

These two concepts have been fighting in my mind for a long time.

From 0 to 100 as a ruler of measuring the truthfulness of information, education stands at 100, propaganda locates at 50, while at the far end 0 there sits the brainwash.


The outcome of the ideal education should be creativity, while propaganda won’t be necessarily invoking the sparkle of creation.

Though education is ideally good as we all are brainwashed to believe in education. In reality, most of the education is company with instructor’s belief as a way of propaganda. In another word, the pure 100% education is not possible, unless the learner is highly logical.

Interestingly, propaganda in English is codified with negative meaning, while in Chinese (mainland China) it carries merely positive meaning. I can associate propaganda with marketing, creative arts, and this is the first time comparing the difference between propaganda and education.

Clear mind is needed to distinguish brainwash from education. Even this blog entry, it is an education outcome for me; and it might be a form of brainwash for the readers.
