Why this American LEFT Stanford and moved to a Chinese Village? // 退学斯坦福大学后定居中国农村，这位美国人疯了吗？

[@Ychinamedia]

The first episode of our “Unknown Villages” series features one of the most amazing stories of an American in China. His name is Brian Linden and he came to China for the first time 37 years ago. He instantly fell in love with the culture during his studies at Stanford. Later, he decided to open a unique Education and Tourism Center “Linden Center” in many unique spots in China - to give visitors from around the world a taste of what he calls the “real and authentic” China. He built world-class facilities with beautiful designs while maintaining the historical architectural styles of the locals. You can find Linden Centers in magical spots like Shilong Village 石龙村 and XiZhou喜洲 in Yunnan Province. Contact Linden Center for enquiries/booking on Wechat: lindencentre 他们的微信公众号：喜林苑LindenCenter 欢迎去石龙村看看Linden Center。是我住过最有意思的农村民宿/教育中心！

@@op-vw8sd The BBC has indeed shown Google Map blow-ups of Chinese schools and miss-identified them as prisons. I am not sure how a reference to this fact promotes the CPC.

Im sure Id seen vids of Linden before. He moved ro China and bought a very large aristocratic pile in Dali, Yunan where he assimilated into the life and culture of the ethnic minority tribe. He searched for antiques to renovate and restore the grand house to its former Ming or Tang, dynastic glory. He's an active member of the of the village, community. He speaks excellent Mandarin and after some time, he had a Chinese wife and 2 children. They opened up their restored ancient house to take in tourists and travellers. Linden struck me as. someone who read Chinese lan- guage, history, culture and tradition esp. the diversity of ethnicities deeply and became not only. a Sinologist, but a Chinese. The adoption of another racial identity as different as that of a Northern European and a Han Chinese is a conscious cross border choice for a more beautiful, meaningful and morally upgraded society. Many people all over the world have crossed borders to become a diffetent race, natio nality or religion for polizical, linguistic, economic reasons, or for love, the inheritance of coloninialism and following ideological influences as in the footsteps of popular idols, revolutions and variety of changes in the rise of new ideas, thinking, innovations emigrations and not least, becomig helpless war refugees. Among all these factors and forces pushing individuals to cross borders, its only love, linguistic and cultural influences that are made by the self- determination of making a conscious choice to change their racial. identity. But people who drop their racial stock to become a completely different racial origin by the change of name and surname of say, Jack Smith, Lisa Ems, Adewola Aaron, and Sarah Lindsay. this becoming English. Many people chose this path for economic and political reasons. Many people, like the Chinese, like to take on an English name but keep their Chinese surname as in Richard Li, Betty Chu and Jack Ma, refering their race aChinese British or simply Chinese. i think the Chinese are resilient to changing their racial origin. Westerners and all non Chinese who become Chinese havr their original names translated into Chinesr replicating Mandarin pinyin phonetics but always with the choice for getting the best semantics so john is johan but johan has quite alot of characters to make his Chinese phonetic version sound most subtle, poetic, smartest... herein lies the amazing well of superlatives for naming or renaming oneself. I adore Linden whatever his race or name. He has magical qualities and has reincarnated himself. Health, longevity and peace and love to all.

各位弟兄還是姐妹，天國近了，我們應當悔改，信耶穌。時候將到，死人將要在審判日時，爲自己在地上所作的一切行爲，在神的面前受審判。那時，就再也沒有人有機會悔改了。所以我們應當趁著審判官還沒定我們的罪之前，趕緊和祂和好，悔改我們的不義行爲，祈求祂赦免我們的罪，免得祂定我們的罪，我們就落在刑罰之中。主耶穌基督就是那位審判官，天國和地獄的鑰匙在主耶穌的手中。 欺騙，貪心，口吐惡言，荒宴，偷竊，殺人，犯奸淫，淫亂，好色，不尊重父母，詭詐，狂傲，拜偶像，交鬼，占卜，觀兆，法術，邪術，嫉妒，惱怒，紛爭，結黨，詭詐 ，醉酒，怨恨，毀謗，惡念，同性戀，亂稱神的名，自稱是神，稱人或動物或金銀木石土等物質為神，褻瀆神，違背神，罵神，不肯悔改信耶穌，等等這些在神的面前都是罪，只要我們犯了其中一個罪，就足夠稱我們為罪人了。如果我們現在不悔改這些罪惡行爲，仍然繼續犯下去，那麽以後審判日的時候要怎麽和神交代呢？喜歡犯罪作惡的人，神將來是要報應他的。但神愛世人，不願世人因自己的罪惡而滅亡，所以仍然給我們機會去悔改，而悔改的方法衹有一個，那就是信靠耶穌。像一個從前敗家的孩子回到父親的身邊，向父親認罪悔改，祈求赦免，并且聽從父親的教導，從此成爲一個乖孩子。所以我們也要藉著主耶穌回到父神的面前，向父神認罪悔改，祈求赦免，并聽從主耶穌的教導，重新做人，改過自新，不再犯罪。主耶穌可以赦免我們一切的罪。主耶穌可以幫助我們重新做人。 耶穌基督降世爲人，因爲愛我們，不願我們因自己的罪惡滅亡，所以要教導我們脫離罪惡的行爲，糾正我們的生活，要救我們脫離將來的審判，甚至願意在過程中受苦，被人逼迫，辱駡，鞭打，吐唾沫，爲你我而流淚流血，被釘在十字架上而死。主耶穌爲了贖你我世人的【罪】而被釘在十字架上而死。 但主耶穌死後第三日復活，后升到天上去，以後還要回來拯救屬於祂的人。 人死後要麽得永生進天國，要麽得永刑進地獄。地獄里的火是不滅的，蟲是不死的。悔改信靠主耶穌的人能進天國，不願悔改信靠主耶穌的人不能進天國。 我們要接受主耶穌爲我們生命中獨一的救主，生命中獨一的真神。你們若有憂愁，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就安慰你們。若有困難的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就賜給你們力量。若有傷痕累累的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就醫治你們。若有勞苦重擔的，就來尋找主耶穌，主耶穌就使你們得安息。主耶穌可以赦免你們一切的罪，主耶穌可以賜給你們真平安和喜樂，主耶穌可以賜給你們死後復活得永生。主耶穌連使死人復活都可以，因爲在神凡事都能。 除了耶穌的名，世上沒有別的名可以使人得救。獨一的真神衹用一個名字來代表自己，那就是【耶穌】。 主耶穌教導，“不要犯罪欺騙說謊”，惡人卻說，“不，我選擇犯罪欺騙說謊”。這樣他就是在定自己的罪，以後定他的罪的證據就是在此。 主耶穌說： 你們不要論斷人，就不被論斷。因爲你們怎樣論斷人，就必怎樣被論斷。你們用什麽量器量給人，就必用什麽量器量給你們。你們不要定人的罪，就不被定罪。你們要饒恕人，就必蒙饒恕。 你們可以在網上搜尋【聖經】來讀，建議從【新約】的“約翰福音”讀起。或這里有一個 cut.ibibles.net/ 無論你生活中有什麽困難，煩惱，壓力，你就向主耶穌禱告祈求，祂一定會聽到你的禱告。主耶穌一定能幫到你，因爲在神凡事都能。 【神原是我們的父親，是祂創造了我們，我們要回頭承認祂，借著信從主耶穌基督承認祂。世人啊，該醒過來了。】

That's because the western capitalist neo-liberal democracies do not allow them to do the things the Chinese government can and prioritise.

亚里士多德一直强调，最优良的政体一定要使全体公民拥有幸福美好的生活。 其实，中国脱贫只是近几年的事情，如果住在城市，可能感觉不明显，但是穷困的地区就有很明显的变化了 我很清晰的记得习近平说过的一句话：”只有共产党才会有这样的成就“。 一个国家想要真的脱贫，那么执政人员必须不能被财团影响，必须有政治理想

[@heyu8671]

最后一句真相了，财团喜欢所谓的民主环境，为什么，因为虽然人民有投票权，但他们只能投选背后有财团支持的竞选人

大陸雖卓有成就，但這話不實，跟共黨打內戰的那個反人民的國民黨早在三四十年前的經濟建設就讓臺灣全面脫貧，錢淹腳踝，且貧富差距全世界最低。後來是盲目失心瘋的搞兩黨輪替，不在乎國家及人民，只在乎迎合外國，政府愈趨貪腐，發展停步不前。

@@erictsai1140 帶了多少大陸黃金到台灣，美國又給了多少援助全力支持，又有多少大陸老兵辛勤支持搞工程建設。才有蔣經國那時的成就。貧富差距你就更別比了首先你接觸到的中國信息大部分都帶偏見的，再者有資格和大陸對比貧富差距的是印度，台灣你和福建浙江廣東比呀。

Love & enjoy every epidode. Great job in showing everyone the true face of China. Grateful for the many American individuals sacrificing their "lives" contributing to improving the lives of rural China. Thank you to the Amricans for this great works. Wish your fellow western countrymen can see and appreciate too!

Xi Jinpings efforts to include the remote areas has been a success. Although it might be hard staying away from the family, the children gets a chance to improve their lives and the communities

[@siewbengwee4530]

Education is so important its totally accepted that children go to boarding schools And the way schools are kept safe include having good physical security. A lot of sacrifice, cos life is tough. Same sacrifice by the "lost children" of migrant workers.

China has many minority groups are still below property line. Enormous efforts are needed. China just wants to focus on it's issues to improve living, not politics.

[@fannyalbi9040]

Every nation has it. Poverty is not uniquely china. The highest gdp in the world has no poverty?

[@poseidon61]

I think many have misunderstood. China got rid of extreme poverty, not "poverty". The Chinese do know a lot more has to be done. And that is education and investing in the people. There is no shortcut to eliminate poverty.
