Up the Yangtze! - trailer

Thats not true. India has the world's largest population of non-native English speakers, english is used in every sphere of life. The culture and traditions are as strong as ever.

did i say indian not preserving their culture? and who are you referring to? me or others?

all i am saying is introducing english in official/formal/education has nothing to do with eroding your national culture.

maybe not in your country but it happened in mine. you see, introducing English in most subjects will slowly replacing the national language - Malay. and soon people or the next generation will forget about their mother tongue. we have no problem learning English but not until the extend that our national language only spoken at home or none at all. In order to achieve success, you must teach the children the language that they understand the best, while not neglecting the importance of English.

A good example just look at Japan, their formal education is in Japanese but still they able to achieve great success in a large scale.

I am not trying to say English is no good. What i meant is, language is not the barrier for success but the ability and the level of understanding. Introducing English or completely change the language in formal education would not guarantee success if the government not taking the right step. What's the use if we all speak English but government is corrupted?

In Malaysia we have "Malay Supremacy" policy for the Malay/indigenous people because they dominated the land before Chinese & Indians. Many non-Malays are looking down or even insulting the Malays because of this bias policy. So the government claiming themselves to help the Malays by introducing English so that they will not belittled by the non-Malays anymore. In fact it is not solving the problem. The ultimate solution is government must extinct the bias "Malay Supremacy" policy.

very moving documentary, makes me appreciate what I have.

Watched this last night... excellent documentary indeed. The last scenes were particularly moving.

Excellent documentary.
It makes a perfect double-feature with Jia Zhang-Ke's 'Still Life.'
