It was truly “I came, I was seen, and I conquered”.  The lines outside Chinese cinemas for Avatar was amazing. Apparently there was a 2000 people run on tickets at a  cinema in Beijing, and there was a line that curved 18 times in Shanghai. It was bitter cold weather in Beijing when the film was released, so rich people sent their drivers at 4am to line up for tickets, spoiled brats sent their mothers. This only happened in mainland China, somehow, the film struck a chord with the Chinese audience and created nothing less than a social phenomena.

The Film is a brilliant promotion of Pandoran values which just happens to be identical to liberal American values. There is the white man’s guilt vis-à-vis native Indians.  Most Chinese see themselves as the Indians, I know they are not Indians, they are Na’vi and blue, but we identify with them. Why?  All the forced removal of old neighborhoods in china makes us the only earthlings today who can really feel the pain of the Na’vi.  Someone on sina twitter actually suggested that watching Avatar should be mandatory to all government officials working in the Removal Office.

Then there is the newly discovered “I am an underdog after all”sentiment of Chinese who were born in the 1980s. This is our first generation of single child to enter the work force. They grew up with dreams of being the next tycoon or internet guru. The past 10 years, the majority of them were stuck in cubicals pushing paper. They are all Jakes, broken dreams, clipped wings and wounded egos.  They need a cause badly,  and they want to prove that even though they cannot walk, they can fly. And, guess what, they also happen to be the core of Chinese movie goers.

Last but not the least, the Mother Tree stuff, its all very Tao, isn’t it - that all beings are connected in the Cosmos. Deep down, there is a little bit of Tao in every Chinese.

Bravo to the Pandora Ministry of Propaganda for capturing the hearts and minds of the Chinese.  Unfortunately for our own Ministry of Propaganda, Avatar is a tough act to follow. On Jan.23^rd, the epic Chinese film “Confucius” will be released.  As everyone knows, promoting Chinese value across the planet is synonymous to promoting Confucius. So this epic film is part and parcel of an earthly campaign to make OUR values known across the land. If this is a popularity test against Pandoran values, I have great worries for “Confucius”.  To start with, the Premiere of the film is a ceremony during which the stars actually got on their knees and kaotou to the descendents of Confucius. I don’t know, would you rather fly on the back of a dragon or kaotou to  strangers named Kong. It’s really a no brainer, isn’t it? My sincere recommendation to our Ministry is to send a delegation to Pandora. Maybe there is something to be learned.
