ASU Reacts: Surprise in the State.


Script:
There are times in life that seem to baffle us all, and for Xi Jinping, who is now one of the worlds’ most powerful men, this is no different. He grew up as close to royalty as is possible in China, with a father that helped to govern in the National Communist party, until one day his father passed from favor and was forcibly removed from office. After struggling through his adolescence and early adult years Xi Jinping has found himself back in the capitol, working for the same government that cast his family out. Shauna Barlow, student that attends the University of Arizona, had this to say: “I think that it is just remarkable how someone can forgive so readily and work with those who hated him”. She is quiet right, it is a remarkable feat for him to attain, and in speaking with the villagers, whom were ordered to stay silent there was a glimpse of what Xi Jinping was like in his youth. Those that would talk to us remembered a boy who worked very hard and wanted the best for his village. We can see that desire for a better village in what he is doing now, Xi is having major renovations done throughout his village. Some of the older villagers do not feel this to be a good thing, while others could not praise him enough. Chelsea Neuhiesel, a psychology major at Mesa Community College, was very impressed with Mr. Jinping and told us: “I wish we had more go get ‘em type people in our government, people who would do they felt was right to improve our nation, more people like Xi.” The general consensus about Xi Jinping has been outright praise and admiration, maybe his arrival in China’s government will mark a new age of interior improvements.
