For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF MY MORE THAN MANY USELESS BLOGS - BUT.

WHO ARE YOUR HEROES AND WHY?

 

Mine are:

Socrates (Greece) - the father of reason

Shankara (India) - the man who welded spirituality and reason together

May (China) - because she keeps my feet on the ground

I have many others but this is a starting point!

Same. Aung San Suu Kyi. Add Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln to that list.

I am thinking Jeff, more on the lines of who has inspired you personally

Who has changed your life - given you inspiration?

I know we have our Ghandi (?) and Mandella but who has personally had an effect on you?

Aung San Suu Kyi. She is beacon of light and hope to all

those who are oppressed in the world

Great video - thanks very much!

a key statement in the video

An unexamined life is not worth living

Well worth contemplating

BUT - who are your heroes?
