"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence." That's an old in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place you live. Some people worry young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with Mid-autumn Festival. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: friendliness. Not all countries are as as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and to learn them, but they cannot replace your own culture. It's good to look on the other side of the fence, but you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
