Besides being entertaining, his existence is also really inspiring for me to see how powerful internet has become nowadays. I know it's such a cliché to say, but for me, whose facebook youtube and tweeter are blocked at home, this discovery is such a victory. Through Danwei, I became aware of so many recent social issues that's never covered by normal television stations, as well as good writers and artists. The ones I found amazing are the interviews Goldkorn did with the outspoken and anti-wave bloggers. For the first time I feel like "you know, I live in 21st century as well".
Sometimes I'll ponder within my head, what the hell is going to change China and "make it a land of free speech" and blah blah blah, and the answer is always pessimistic. Education? Coup d'etat? International pressure?...Well, how about internet then? However, living in a remote lifestyle at Wellesley gives this pondering session an end, since technology is just out of question. It is true, a jump from "we need to be colonized for 300 years" to "let's look at internet" is kinda hard to be accepted. Anyways, Danwei TV is wonderful.
