Strict rules in China
by Adrianna Martinez
China has created strict rules of how to sing,act and stand when the national anthem is played. The national anthem cannot be played at private weddings,parties or other events.When singing the national anthem they must clearly sing each word,follow the rhythm and must know each word to the song. Changing the words,melody and musical arrangement is forbidden. Most of the Chinese people accept the new rules and are happy about it.
I believe the creation of these new rules is very serious.The government is controlling everything and the people have no rights.The government creates ridiculous rules and the sad thing is the people happily accept it not realizing they are losing their rights to free speech and artistic expression.
It is sad, but unfortunately the people who live in communist countries naturally except the government's laws because of fear of punishment. It's become a natural way of life.
