Fifty perfor to learn about modern China by Diane Lackie How detailed is your know- ledge of the People's Repub- lic of China? If you are like most of us, probably. that knowledge is limited; but for Peter Talbot, history teacher at Port Perry High School and resident of the town, familiarity with China is considerable. . Not only does Mr. Talbot teach about this burgeoning other world, but also he is conversant in the Chinese language having been born in China in the town of Tang- shan, two hundred miles south of Peking. This past summer, as a guest of the Chinese government, he returned to the place of his birth, along with a selected group of persons from North America who belong to the Friends of China Society, to view the country's many ceived, and the journey itself, produced a wealth of VIERSON -- INSURANCE BROKERS LIMITED . 193 QUEEN STREET - PORT PERRY 985-7306 ALL LINES OF GENERAL INSURANCE for. teaching information along with hundreds of colourful slides. Wishing to bring together two worlds - and aid the new Library's current drive for furnishing funds -- the Friends of the Library combined with the Friends of China to produce an engaging evening's enter- tainment. Last Monday, Mr. Talbot delivered his illustrated lecture on his view of modern China to an attentive audience of fifty in the High School Library. In well- organized fashion, and with a wry wit, Talbot allowed his viewers an intimate peek at a struggling, growing country on the one hand tied to age-old taboos and con- ventions -- no expressions of affection are allowed in public, men must be in their thirties to marry - on the other hand bound to leap into the modern world econoniic scene - American manu- CA AMALY 16 5 Year Annual Interest - 16Y4 Semi Annually le ek Trust STANDARD TRUST COMPANY 9 Y/a 5Year Annual Interest 14Y¥4Semi-Annually he municonl 6a 5year Annual Interest 15% Semi-Annually mE Since l844 3/2 5 gar Anni) £ Armia inistest macdona trust company + Id-cartier 5Year Annual Interest 14Y4 Semi-Annually - colourful costumes. .aged in "whole, to cite a disparate facturing equipment plants, for example, flourish.. Mr. Talbot's group was accompanied by three tran- slators and at all times they travelled with Governors or Vice Governors of each province. The first city formally visited was Peking, a clean, but dusty locale, as was most of China. Crime is rare. Hotels leave much to be desired. Many historical sites are being = restored, such as the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City. Everywhere might be seen the Chinese dragons, imperial classic symbols used to repel evil. Another common symbol seen. was the Lotus, denoting contem- plation and calm, Although = China is currently severly controlling its 'population growth, it prizes its youngsters "and many places Talbot went his group was welcomed and entertained by: delightful, happy children garbed in The youth often devote after school hours to perfect * "ballet, calligraphy and other cultural pursuits, as the slides vividly revealed. At one stop, the group was regaled by a rendition of Red "River Valley about which Talbot" wryly remarked, "They might consider this to be our national song." Mr. Talbot's audience was also surprised to learn such facts as: no one in China owns any large item of great value, the average wage is fifty dollars per month, medical clinics abound and doctors earn seventy dollars monthly, no flies, mosquitoes, cats or dogs are to be seen, rivers are polluted, generally speaking, and religion is not encour- the country as a few.
