The introduction of Chinese fundamental school system
The reformation of Chinese education has become the highlight for a long time. People concern about the direction it will head for, for education found the future in this nation substantially. Meanwhile it’s necessary for people to understand Chinese school system clearly, only base on which can they fully comprehend current educational situation.
Chinese school system mainly consists of four parts: pre-schools, primary schools, secondary schools including junior and senior high school, and sorts of universities, collages and junior collages classified as the realm of higher education. Our thrust in this article is the fundamental part cover first three kinds of school.
Pre-schools are also named as kindergarten or nursery school. According to Chinese national education law, children who have not yet reached six years old cannot be sent to primary school for they are not mature enough to handle themselves. Still, the chance for children to learn basic knowledge, building their initial comprehension toward the world before they reach legal age is indispensable. The majority of parents choose pre-schools to help them complete this significant step. Children are able to acquaint simple knowledge like counting and reading and fundamental moral principles. The time of children receiving pre-school education is usually two or three years. After that they will ascend to primary school. Pre-school education itself, however, is not included in the system of nine-year compulsory education we are familiar with. The truth means that families should pay for this period of education their own without the state’s help.
What is called nine-year compulsory education is the section from six-year primary school to three-year junior high school. The country view it as an obligation for people to observe so that they are capable to become qualified citizens, beside, the country would pay most fee of the education in this period. Once children are six years old they should be sent to primary school, the courses of which contain math, Chinese, English and others building their comprehensive capability as music and physical education. Six years past, then they will attend an examination to prove they are competent to graduate and enter junior high school, where curriculum is more complicate. Courses like chemistry, physics or history become required. Surely we could perceive this policy not only from individual but national level, as the process of nine-year compulsory education is protected by the laws. Anyone escape this obligation would be punished.
The future turns optional once students complete their compulsory education. One of them is to enter training school so as to make themselves equipped with some specific skills, or they can go out to find a job if reach the legal age. Some students are willing to continue their study. Therefore they choose to enter senior high school. The junior and senior high school combining together is regarded as secondary school. In the three years of study they must make the decision whether they will be students major in science or students major in art. The emphasis in courses will be decided by the difference in the two of directions. Also, it will decide which subjects they will be tested in the final university entrance examination.
For every student who is eager to be enrolled into university the entrance examination is vital even weighed in their whole life. Before that they should already get the graduate certification, because the meaning of this examination is to measure which level of higher education they are qualified to receive. The necessity of employment market and increasing pressure to get better life lead the exam to be tense even cruel and blood-scenting. The survivals will open the door and get themselves to a higher stage, where both type and approach of education are totally different from past decade.

The Matter of Impoliteness and Cultural Communication
From my own perspective, this given text contains two basic opinions, first is to state that cultural differences are mainly responsible for Chinese tourists’ misbehavior, to which I totally disagree. I think personal quality is, precisely, the leading reason. Second is that the author believe cultural differences result in the misunderstanding between Westerns and Chinese, to which I cannot agree more.
Admittedly, some Chinese tourists have absolutely no idea of politeness and respect, their impressively disgusting behaviors such as carving names on historical constructions and defecating or spitting everywhere, has left extraordinarily bad impression on others especially foreigners. And the worse condition is these wrongdoers do not even realize that they have already become the very center of public anger and violent criticism, instead, they may just consider their behaviors the same as what they normally do at home.
However, I doubt the author’s statement that this phenomenon mentioned above is a similar situation about cross culture. I’d rather regard it as an issue of low level of moral quality, and three vital reasons should be listed as follows. First and for most, our courses of moral quality exist in name only. From local governments to schools, they concern more about existing and potential interests than education itself, and most of them do not think highly of the nurture of public awareness. Secondly, the majority of Chinese people do not take the trend of traditional culture’s fading away seriously, and the importance of traditional education has been ignored for quite a long time. Last but not least, it is undoubtedly a shame that some parents do not set a good example---they may jump the queue to save time or steal a ride to save money, being unaware that all these wrongdoings will unconsciously give rise to awful influence on children throughout their whole lives. Therefore, for those who show impoliteness, they do deserve punishment, and our governments are supposed to strengthen the power of execution of relative laws and regulations against uncivilized acts. Besides, the key to this problem is the lacking of moral education, so it is a must to focus more on the promotion of traditional moral training to both parents and children.
As for the author’s attitude towards Western visitors’ behavior, there is no doubt I will support it. The text indicates that Westerners being uncooperative and demanding their rights during their China trip was attributed to the failure of cross-cultural communication. Such misunderstanding, indeed, frequently arises when people from different cultural backgrounds meet, and if we do not figure out how to tackle it, the following consequences may be some embarrassment caused by criticism as well as hostility caused by foreigners’ arrogance. Thus, combined with the author’s suggestion, I think one of the effective and crucial ways is to build bridges of intercommunication so as to advance the mutual comprehension from both sides. To be exact, we can put into effort through language or culture industry.
Obviously, language has been endowed with significant status recently. As we can see, Chinese’s enthusiasm towards learning English is growing dramatically, while Confucius Institutes have got off to a roaring start due to foreigners’ intensively interests towards Chinese culture. Furthermore, in the face of globalization, massive investment to culture industry from both sides is seeing an upward trend, and people can acquire more chance to contact diverse regions’ custom, to uncover the mask of unknowing culture, to truly understand the cultural difference and consequently get on well with others along with no more improper manners.

Remove the Label of “Savage”
Reporters abroad have upset Chinese tourists by labelling them as ”rude Chinese tourist”. We have been regarded as negative travellers without etiquette for a long time. This stereotype results from various reasons.
Different from Chinese scholars who went abroad to seek the chance of further study and research in certain field which they specialized in, tourists who rush into foreign countries nowadays pay less attention to the purpose of cultural communication. Those scholars were highly educated and were aware of the courtesy and habit of the country where they continued their studies. As the living standard of our civilian personnel is rising dramatically, travelling abroad is no longer difficult. As a result, a large proportion of Chinese tourists in foreign countries are wealthy ones whose education level is not high and whose personality is not well cultivated. They consider travelling abroad as the symbol of high social status and wealth. To some degree, they are overwhelmed by individualism instead of patriotism which is cherished by those Chinese scholars. Their eyes and ears take in all the sights and sounds without appreciation of beauty of those places of interest and with little awareness of their permanent values.
Apart from lack of ability of appreciation, culture differences is another big problem. Usually the case is that our Chinese tourists do harm to the historical architecture and annoy foreigners without being aware of their misbehavior. For example, as for the boy who carved his name on that 3500-year-old Egyptian temple must have seen many signs of names on his school desks and chairs, the pillars of Chinese temples and precious stones. It is likely that no one has ever told him that carving his name here, there and everywhere may bring him the label of “barbarian”. Under such circumstances, the boy himself is not the one who is to blame. This kind of culture misunderstanding not merely happens between Chinese and foreigner, for even different parts in the same country can hold totally opposite attitude toward one issue. Another news that a mother from Chinese mainland let her child defecate in public places during their trip in Hong Kong has attracted lots of attention as well as endless criticism from citizens in Hong Kong. Such domestic conflicts can happen within China, let alone those international differences.
We cannot avoid taking “Ethnocentrism” of the field of inter-culture into consideration. People are almost always ethocentric to some degree, as we naturally learn to view the world from our own cultural respective. Westerners tend to judge Chinese according to western standards, so when they encounter foreigners who behave or think in ways that differ from theirs, then too quickly judge those ways as wrong or bad. Our Chinese used to judge foreigners negatively, too. Sometimes we regard them as intruders.
All we need to do now is preventing further confliction and narrowing the understanding gap in culture between us and people from other countries.
Both sides need to overcome the discrimination and stereotypes in the first place. Stimulated by those negative news about “rude Chinese tourists”, our citizens thought a lot, argued a lot and felt miserable. It is our students’ duties to learn and spread knowledge of inter-culture and solutions to culture shock. Also, we can set examples of building bridges of understanding and mercy. In addition, education of etiquette in an essential part of cultivation of personality. It is from school that the youth learn about such salutary branch of quality-oriented education. Anyway, protecting and appreciating those historical and natural treasures should be an enduring principle which spans generations. What’s more, the travel agencies are supposed to get the balance right between economic achievement from tourism and the effect we may bring to the heritage which belongs to all humanity. Responsibilities of informing their tourists of basic knowledge about the destination and teaching them useful etiquette are thrust upon those businessmen’s shoulders.
One thing for sure is that we still have a long way to go to remove such negative label as “rude Chinese tourist”. But as long as we realize our misbehaviors and strive to be better selves, which was cherished by ancient Chinese, the time will give us fair response.
