Hypothesis about Health in China Southern Asia
Countries:
1. The issue of children with disabilities in China and
South Asian countries is worse than in European countries because of unhealthy
lifestyles , environmental pollution , and the unresolved situation in post-war
zones.
First at all I have
to say that before I wasn’t sure if something
like a culture shock exists. I travelled quite a lot, but first in my life I
felt that I am in places which are in one point amazing but and in another
point terrible. Beijing was our first destination and I enjoyed it a lot. I was
surprised all the time. We stayed few days with a guy from couchsurfing and
thanks to him we found out some information for our topics, because after it
was almost impossible to find someone who spoke English. Beijing is a capital
city of China and is also one of the biggest city in China. It was first time
for me to be in such a huge city like this. We realized that is not enough to
move somewhere in Beijing just like we are still in Beijing so it is ok. You
really have to think about where and how you are going to stay, because after
you will just spend your time in public transport which was sometimes longer
than one and half hour to reach a place where we wanted to go. Once when we
tried to stay a little bit out of the city we didn’t have any opportunity to speak with someone in English, but when we
moved to a place where the people are used to foreigners and they know a little
bit of English in same time they don’t like to speak just for fun, they have to make a business and not
to waste the time. Beijing and Shanghai are huge and incredible cities but for finding
out what China real is it is not a good place but, actually maybe this is what
means the real China. Streets full of people with phones in hands, or is it
real China those fancy streets full of expensive branches? Unfortunately
reality is the difference between people, middle class is the biggest part of the
population of China but also is one of the poorer one. We met some really nice
people in a train when we travel to another province call Fujian. We spent more
or less ten ours in the train and we managed to communicate with locals with
translators in phones. Other think which I never realized before how Im used to
have Google. Google browser, Google maps, Google weather, Google and Google
everything what is produced by Google is forbidden by VPN rule. And Facebook
and Viber too, but those two I didn’t need so much for to plan something. So it was always fun to use
bing which took half a day to find what could be important for us. Such a good
experience anyway.
So my question in the
beginning was how is it with health in China? Are they really used to cure
people with Chinese medicine? Are they stronger than Europeans? I had many questions.
After few days in Beijing I decided to focus on children and on disabilities
for one simple reason. On the street we met a lot of beggars but not only
adults, also a lot of mothers with their children. I looked on them and I
thought about possibilities for long term curing. For me it was really interesting
because about China I could say that there is no Post War situation like in
countries in South of Asia and is not a country side or mountains like in
different places in China. They are in cities full of technology and modern
lifestyle so where this problem is coming from. From really few information I
got some pieces of true about China. Huge cities in east side of China are full
of people from villages where they couldn’t survive and especially with disable members of their families. Another
point is that in those huge cities we saw kind of consume societies so they are
also full of fastfoods and unhealthy products in shops. (E11 is a classic add
in instant Chinese soups). Many of those disabilities where a combination of
psychological and biological problems. The most common were Down syndrom or Hydrocefalus or another mental disease with body
deformities. How to treat those disabilities is a question even in my country
but always is there a special place where you can find professional help. In
China of course if you have money you can do a lot I saw many people with
different problems of disabilities which had everything right around like
assistants or things for help and make their life easier. In third point it was
incredible the air pollution. In Beijing is a general problem I couldn’t imagine before that I will not be able to
see the sun through the pollution. The
air pollution gives another health problem: respiration diseases. Many people
were counting as well as children. When I spoke with a guy in train, he tried
to explain me that even in Beijing started a campaign against the air pollution
it is not enough to solve anything and people started to realize that many of
diseases is coming out of unhealthy
environment. So yes unhealthy lifestyle and no support of government are places
in China which are worse than in Europe. But The communism party which is in
charge in China made the same mess like in countries in Eastern Europe and I
can see many similar things. But in my opinion China will grow up faster and
the globalization of the world will help to China becoming more powerful than
we can ever imagine.
To see the whole of
China and get a really deep picture of life in China it is needed to stay there
longer time. China gave me a lot such an incredible cities and nature as well.
Shame that I couldn’t see more and go more
deep in all of topics, because China is in many things so equal but in the same
time really different. Their kept culture, many temples of Budha or Confucio
are around and we could see West countries culture just in modern lifestyle which
in number of Chinese people became worse than in our countries in Europe.
