Silk is the original Chinese invention, which is tightly tied to the country’s identity.
It is disappointing to realize China’s silk has lost its quality to Italy only to lead the world in the quantity of it silk production. However from the article, it is relieving to hear that there is someone who is determined to restore Chinese silk back to its historical place, as it is part of its heritage.
From here I have realized that with globalization, the future generations are entrusted with the responsibility to keep our traditions alive instead of letting our culture be diluted.
This is important as it helps us unite as a country when we share our distinctive culture. In addition, Singapore is rather dependant on tourism for income. We must not let homogeneity get to us from Americanization, losing our local flavour and in turn our tourists.
