KnowingtheConsequencesofChoice

　　OverthepastSpringFestival,Igotinvolvedinafamilydispute.RightbeforeIgothome,foursatellitechannelsofCCTVwereaddedtothe14channelswehadalreadyhad.Inprimetimeatnight,theyallhadinterestingshows.Therefore,thefiveofus-myparents,mysistersandI-hadtoargueoverwhattowatch.Finally,weagreedthatweshouldwatchthe"mostinteresting"programme...Ifwe

　　couldagreewhatthatwas.

　　However,allofusthererememberthatforalongtimeafterwehadTV,therewereonlyoneortwochannelsavailable.Theincreaseinoptionsrevealsanimportantchangeinourlife:

theabundanceofchoice.

　　Fifteenyearsagowealldressedinonestyleandinonecolour.Today,weselectfromawidevarietyofdesignsandshades.

　　Fifteenyearsago,wereadfewnewspapers.Today,wereadEnglishnewspapersliketheChinaDailyandthe21stCentury,aswellasvariousChinesenewspapers.

　　TheemergenceofchoicesmarksthebeginningofanewerainChina'shistory;aneraofdiversity,ofmaterialandculturalrichness,andaneraoftherebirthoftheChinesenation.

　　Weenjoytheabundanceofchoice.Butthishasnotcomeeasily.

　　About150yearsago,ChinawasforcedtoopenupitsdoorbyWesterncanonsandgunboats.Ithasbeenthroughthestruggleandsacrificeofgenerationsthatwefinallyhavegainedtheopportunitytochooseforourselves.Thepolicyofreformandopennessisthechoicethathasmadeallthedifference.

　　Likeothersofmyage,I'mtooyoungtohaveexperiencedthetimewhentheChinesepeoplehadnorighttochoose.However,asthenextcenturydrawsnear,itistimetoask:

　　Allofthesesoundgood.Buttheyareonlypossibilities.Tothoseofuswhoarebewilderedattheabundanceofopportunities,Iwouldliketosay:
