"Democracy itself is increasingly detached from human beings, evolving into a massive political machine that exists externally to society's members and even to the power-holding elite. It seems that it's not people controlling this political machine, but rather the machine controlling people. This is a serious phenomenon in developed countries. The direction of development for Western democracy may be further strengthening the political machine, leading to further dehumanization of the democratic system. Democracy itself has become democracy for the sake of democracy, or democracy for the sake of interests, or democracy for the sake of ideology, rather than democracy for the sake of human life." -Wang Huning
Who was the recording engineer on this and who chose these cacophonous instruments. This had my ears ringing and my mind confabulated. It has to be a Chinese thing.....ruined the song for me ! I could never get to like such a raucous mind-bending sound such as this. OMG save me from this kind of performance !!!!!
I absolutely love this. Many of the instruments are tuned and certainly played different than the western instruments it was written for. Awesome job!
I understand that this John Denver song is (or was) not unknown in China.
This song is universal!
Beautiful.
Heavenly...
The People of China deserve to be free.
The People of America deserve to be free

Virginia of the west now becomes Virginia of the east

West Virginia is a separate state :). It's okay people make that mistake a lot. We tend to confuse people lol.

@@CleverPolarBear Beautiful state. Was there about 6 years ago. The people deserves much better leaders who are not servants to the coal barons.
