Comparing Schools in China and the US; Filmmaker Hao Wu is free after 5 months

In my Jooksing in the Motherland blog I just wrote a little more about the Chinese educational system and my thoughts on rewatching Carma Hinton's documentaries Morning Sun and the Gate of Heavenly Peace.
The photo below shows Jinan students engaged and active in learning the English language. The Chinese government has made English language classes mandatory in their curriculum.

BREAKING NEWS - filmmaker Hao Wu was released yesterday and is finally free after 5 months in prison. His Beijing or Bust documentary highlights a number of Chinese Americans, including business people, artists and musicians, who are living in China.
