I think middle path is the best way to the real life now, not going to extreme.
to lock the country, not to let pp know the outside world, and tell pp wht s good (as wht communist always do) is not honest and not a good idea. pp have the right to know(知的權利) and choose wht they wan. and of cos it s not a good idea to totally open to the polluntant world as well. so middle path to "happiness" maybe one of the better choice.
just to share my opinion. :)

I decided on this title as many of us during this trip saw, learnt, observed and tried to be more mindful of our actions; from refusing plastic bags given out at the am/pm 24-7 convenience shops to putting the “Do not disturb” tab on our doors the next morning NOT because we are anti-social but because we dun want the chambermaids to change our towels and bedsheets daily.
