Chaospattern

My name is James S. Chen, also know as Chaospattern. I grow up roaming in the parks of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the ancient capital of China. Although Beijing has always been a forbidden ancient city, vast changes were being made during the years that I have lived there. The old capital was going through a revolution in changes due to the influence of western culture and technology. I have seen 1000 year old buildings taken down only to be replaced by modern sky-scrapers. Busy commercial streets full of small vendors were being replaced by western shopping malls. My parents left me to find a new life in America when I was 6 years old, seeing all the changes in China I too followed their path. I came to the United States when I was 11 years old to find my parents. That was the first major change in my life, a fast forward to live in a more advanced civilization. Growing up in the United States has given me a new vision in perspectives on how the mixing cultures are able to adapt to new ways of development through the use of technological advancement.
