Waiting on the World to Change

Waiting on the World to Change

From my trip to China last summer, I believe in one of the last major cities before departing from the Xinjiang Province. Yes, the title is from the John Mayer song. Although in their case, it is more of an expectant wait for their own changing world. For me, it symbolizes China's development and a nation waiting to see where their rising prominence in the world will take them as well where the political changes within the country will take them (or so far... lack thereof to some degree, hence a waiting expectation).

Waiting Till When??

Lily Lin

The optimists say 20 years, the pessimists say it\'ll never be fully realized. I say within the next 40 years, there will be an inevitable shift, though probably not to the degree that I would like it to and likely not to the degree that most people there would want. So... for that ideal world, probably waiting forever.
