The Eight "do" and "dont" slogan


Beijing government always reminds the citizen to be cultured "讲文明" by avoiding spitting, littering and refrain from talking loudly in public. The premier Mr. Wen 温 came out with The proud eight "do" and disgraceful eight "don't".
Hard to explain every details but roughly the "dos" are hardworking, discipline, unity, service and love the country. "Donts" are the direct opposite. Strange thing here is religion is not very well supported and propagated. Hardly find any churches or temples around the city. Some of the good things like behaviours, disciplines and human characters can be taught through religious teaching, instead of the government. Maybe this has got to do with history that all religions are deemed to be "superstitious" and it were discouraged at that time (till today).
