China in one picture

I can't explain to you how much "China" is stuffed into this one picture. But I will try anyways. Ok, here we go. I'm guessing your eyes may focus on the big white school first? That's my school. And its not. I teach at the school from where I took this picture. And the two schools are on the same property and share the playground and cafeteria. Most schools look like that though, having to build up and not out. I teach on floors three and four of mine. The Chinese flag is starkly placed in front of the children during all exercises. Then of course your eyes drop down to the mass of color down there. What are they doing? Morning exercises. This is kung fu practice and after it will be pop dance aerobics.  They are good, and sometimes I wonder what one could do with a thousand kung fu fighting children.
Behind them is a massive green building. This is what all the buildings in construction look like. The safety/debris netting wraps the building like a cocoon until the final stage. If you take a landscape picture in China and it doesn't have a building in construction, it will soon.  China is sometimes OCD like that. If there isn't construction, something must be wrong, it thinks. Gotta demolish something, gotta demolish. And it does make for a whole lotta jobs because the building don't seem to last long too. Its like the everlasting gobstopper. If the building is too good, it means less jobs. Efficiency isn't always best.
The rest of the buildings are the parts you don't see from the streets, its some of the residential area that is almost always tucked behind the commercial. These apartments are a major part of Chinese culture. Many children do not understand the concept of a house with a yard. A whole building just for you. Sharing in that sense is built into them.
Standing off in the distance and off in time is Yellow Crane Tower. Every picture has to get a few more bonus points for including this. It is a reminder of the old Chinese ways that have been somewhat forgotten and left in the background with the frenzy of capitalism.
And over it all is the layer of smog. If you go from the top of the picture down, you can see the blueness fade into a dull gray, the atmosphere of the citizens of Wuhan and much of China.
So there you go, as much of China as I could squeeze into one picture. There's definitely more that I didn't see, or a picture that hasn't yet been taken that can do more, but until then, enjoy.
