Reminds of Japanese kana forms and Korean letters. I guess any language can be rendered in 2D by means of characters... On top of that, the poem on the block was about reunion, which is what some Chinese bloggers thought initially -- that it referred to the separation of the mainland and Taiwan rather than the CCP remaining standing. In general, I'm happy to see another side of affluence and modernity in China, that of art and culture. What with this: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/11/12/china.rock/ and this: http://thisisdiversity.com/articles/all/2282/ When next year China surpasses Japan in GDP, will it also become the new exporter of culture from Asia? Time will tell. Wow, this is an interesting use of character components. Reminds of Japanese kana forms and Korean letters. I guess any language can be rendered in 2D by means of characters…
