This article made me realize how modern societies were able to make the individual separate itself from it's ancestors. We we used to value our ancestors way more in pre-modern times, being very respectful not only the elderly but also the onces before us because they held most of the knowledge that the society had. In china it went from individual ancestor to individual-Communist party, which meant that the individual is now not relying on knowledge from their ancestors but rather it relies on the the knowledge of the party....which i believe makes you work really hard for the stability of the country rather than working really hard for the stability of their community.
