The way Peter describes the way that the Chinese
are fascinated and look up to Hitler repulses me, honestly. I feel like it is
ironic how they also love the Jews; since Hitler tried wiping out all the Jews.
Being Jewish and reading this section it was very confusing and I didn't enjoy
reading it. It makes no sense to me how the Chinese can not only put Hitler at
the top of the list of who they admire but that they put the Jews right below
him at second! I do not think they fully comprehend the vulgarity of what
Hitler did not only to the Jews but also to the homosexuals, handicapped, and
gypsies. I believe that Peter Hessler is also intrigued as I am; I feel that
the Chinese shocks everyone who knows what truly happened and what Hitler was
doing and was capable of. Now I do understand we need to take into
consideration that the Chinese are used to communism and dictatorship, but at
the same time I cannot comprehend the fact that they still see him as an
amazing ruler when he caused such destruction and genocide. The Chinese culture
is used to a dictatorship but I do not think they fully see the effects it had
on Europe and Jews along with the other minorities I had mentioned before.
