Life for the Chinese remains pretty much the same today as it has been since Tang times. Possibly even longer. This is especially true for the biggest social class of the population: the farmers back then or the working class of today.
Back then, farmers work their farms during the day, trying to coerce their crops to grow. At night, they return to their homes and families for dinner before retiring for the night. Today, the proletariat egg out a living by scavenging for every bit of money they can find during the day. In the evenings, they have their dinners by the roadside with friends and while the night away in leisure games of cards at the public park.
This is how it's been done in China for thousands of years and he doubts it's ever going to change anytime soon. He's still wondering if the Communist ideology fits the Chinese perfectly or if the Chinese fit the Communist ideology perfectly.
