Pride and Prejudice: Part 1 - Pride

Pride and prejudice--no, not the book--is evident in Chinese culture. As you can see from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony, China has immense pride and honor. Even children movies, like Mulan, mentions it.

"Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family ... dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow..."

That may be a bad example, but from what I have experienced, Chinese people are very prideful... and very prejudiced (which will take up a new post later).
