What can the rest of the world learn from Chinese people?
世界其他国家能从中国人身上学到什么?

I lived for a while in Sharjah (UAE), which has a eclectic mix of Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino, Chinese, Arab) and African nationalities all living in close proximity.
我曾在沙迦(阿联酋)住过一段时间，那里有亚洲民族(印度人、巴基斯坦人、孟加拉国人、菲律宾人、中国人、阿拉伯人)和非洲民族的混合，他们都住得很近。In front of my apartment building there was a huge vacant plot of land which was used as a car park, it was unpaved and so it was dusty but as the other option was paid parking many people used this plot to park their cars, locally its called 'Kachcha parking'. At least 150 - 200 cars used to park there.
当我搬到那里的时候，我曾经试着把车停在那里，但由于这片地块的道路崎岖不平，布满了锯齿状的岩石，我决定不冒险，选择了我公寓大楼附近的付费停车位。在我的公寓前有一个大空的土地用作停车场,坑坑洼洼的,所以它尘土飞扬,但另一个选择是付费停车，车很多人使用这里停车,当地称为"Kachcha停车"。过去至少有150到200辆车停在那里。
When I moved in there I tried parking there once but as the approach to this plot is very rough with jagged rocks I decided not to risk it and opted for a paid parking slot near my apt building.

The next day was a Friday (weekly holiday here) I had gone out for a jog and as I was returning I noticed a Chinese neighbour of mine head out with a shovel and a bag of what looked like cement. He started digging away at all the rough rock that cluttered the entrance of the car park and started smoothening a broken kerb stone that looked something like this:
第二天是星期五(这里每周都放假)，我出去慢跑，回来时发现我的一位中国邻居拿着一把铲子和一袋看起来像水泥的东西走了出来。他开始挖停车场入口处的那些粗糙的石头，并开始把一块看起来像这样的碎石弄平:
This was giving grief to a lot of people parking there as the access was jagged like this but he decided to do something about it.
入口像这样参差不齐，让很多人都很不便，但他决定做点什么。
No wonder China is the Super power it is. I don't know if he was an exception or all the Chinese have the civic sense that he had, but somehow I was not surprised that a Chinese guy decided to take matters in his own hands and do a job clearly meant for the civic authorities.
难怪中国是超级大国。我不知道他是一个例外，还是所有的中国人都有他那样的公民意识，但不知何故，我并不惊讶一个中国人决定自己处理事情，做一件显然是当局应该做的工作。
