今天第一次逛Quora，见到第一个感兴趣的问题，关于深圳：
Is Shenzhen really as bad as Hong Kong people think it is?
一位答主答曰：
I found most of the answers rather interesting. One would not think a simple question would elicit such emotional responses. I was there, as it were, when Shenzhen was born. I was working for HSBC in those days and for a variety of reasons, including political ones, we thought we needed to take the SEZs and in particular Shenzhen seriously. But that first trip was, well a let down. No roads, no water, no sewage, no labour (30,000 people), little electricity and lots of red tape. I remember saying to my colleague “They want to invest here?!!”.
Our first investment was in support of a property developer. In fact, all the first investors were speculators of one sort or the other. The initial experience was not good. The red tape was terrible. However, after streamlining from the Chinese side and changes in type of investors from HK (our textile, toy and other manufacturing clients started going in), things got a lot, a lot smoother. By the time the bank relocated me to Singapore, Shenzhen was thriving but could not really be called a city, more a collection of industrial parks with several commercial (some not permanent) districts.
I have visited Shenzhen at least once and year and so the changes whilst stunning on any scale has been less awesome in my case. But as the world’s largest immigrant and one of China’s richest cities, I am always stuck by three things:
1. The Disney Land type feel. Shenzhen lives for today in a way that even HK does not. This in turn makes Shenzhen surreal (in both good and not so good ways).
2. The lack of a back -story. I suspect this is because so many Chinese Cities have such long histories.
3. Massive social gaps in income, education, perception, sophistication and even understanding. New York is characterized by huge gaps but there is a common thread that binds New Yorkers that is not present in Shenzhen.
I once joked that Shenzhen is like a very successful and rich man who suffered amnesia and cannot remember a thing that happened 30 years previously.
Does this make Shenzhen ‘bad’ – only if you are very narrow minded and thus measured Shenzhen with a narrow ‘ruler’. Does it make Shenzhen uncomfortable – yes if you like stability and slow change.

Which country is the worst: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia, India,Ukraine, China or North Korea?
China! China! China! Definitely worst! Lol.
Their language didn’t change much for 2000 years. Boring as hell!
Continuous history and residency on the same land? Boring!
Didn’t conquer any other continents when they had the biggest fleet and the gun powder invention. What losers!
Pretend to communism while they are actually more capitalism than the US now, what hypocrites!
Materialistic, drive-up price of luxury goods and housing price in Vancouver… damn them!
Don’t know how to play soccer, had the worst national soccer team in the world.
And this answer is actually written by a Chinese? See they are self-haters!
Edit: a lot of people don’t seem to get my joke. If you found yourself offended we were actually supposed to be allies. Those kind of questions were designed to piss off people from the listed countries. If you just want to argue with them, or correct them, that would be useless. I think a good way to respond is just to make the answer as ridiculous as possible, and show you are but amused by those questions.

What’s the most unprofessional thing a medical doctor said to you?
Another time throughout my adolescence I was being examined by a doctor and he said “you have a very strong neck.”
I never thought I had a strong neck, nor did I feel it was a particularly interesting thing to have a “strong neck”. What does that mean, I can lift more things with my head? My head is heavy?
Then he went and touched it. It was probably the most uncomfortable situation I've ever been in, because it lasted just a few seconds longer than it should have.
Since then a good number of people have commented on the girth of my neck. “It seems as if your neck and your head are one piece.”
Probably never going to quite understand what apparent use having a broad neck does for me.
