May 4th came and went in the year 2012 and China and Chinese intelligentsia did not even remember!

Isn't it truly banal, decadent, and amnesiac that yesterday May 4th came and went in China, and hardly any Chinese intellectuals, historians, students youths, micro bloggers, journalists, brain trusts even remembered much less reflected nor discussed this major historic transformative day in the history of modern China! And to think that after almost 93 years later, a flaky eccentric quirky blind man can not only blindside two countries and their governments, each at the cusp of a civil, social, moral, spiritual meltdown and unraveling. The world has indeed gone to the dogs. I missed Nixon and Zhou Enlai!
