 * Myths in East Asia research** (Jimmu, Tangun, and Pangu)



1. Do you believe in afterlife or eternality life? No, I have no interest in afterlife nor eternality life, I tend to focus on what I am doing right now at the moment, and I do not really care about how I will be doing after I die or after I rebirth.

2. Do you believe in religion? No, I do not believe in any region, but I do nott think there are not any Gods around. I believe that there is God, but I just do not practice it regularly. I sometimes prey if I feel like I need to for example, before I take tests or do interviews.

3. Do your family have religions? My mom believes Buddhism, but rest of my family, except me, believe in Confucianism. Many people think most of China people believe in Buddhism, but in fact, not many people believe in Buddhism. Confucianism comes first then Taoism, next Buddhism, Islam, then Christianity. These days, Buddhism and Taoism changes as young people believe in Buddhism than Taoism.

4. How do your family practice religions that they have? For mom, she fasts 2 times a month when the moon becomes full, but my family does not make a big deal about religions, so hey fast with mom too. When they fast, they cannot eat any meat.

5. Do you think Chinese government is satisfying as dealing problem about religion? It is a bit hard to say because China is really big country and have a massive number of people, then gradually, China have a diverse religion, so compared to that, yes. Right now, Chinese government limits the certain religion if they harm the society like demonstrations.

6. Do you think people is evil because of society? I think nature is 20 or 15 % and nurture is 80 or 85 %. In China, there is a phrase that “People are born kind and innocent, but as they are educated or grow, they are losing them.”

7. Which one do you think is more important? Upright mind or education? I think only with upright mind, you can be educated. Without ethical morality, the person can be never educated. My grandpa always said that be a human and then try to learn, right minded man is always more valuable than person who is full of greediness.

8. How do you think about “religion”? I think it is a choice that you want or not, religion is like a home for lost people or peoples’ believes. Actually religion is something you can never define. I do not think even asking this question, what is religion, can discriminate some peoples’ believe.

9. Is there a Supreme Being? I believe yes, but I do not think the “Supreme Being” is actually controlling people. People make their decision by themselves. So I think the “Supreme Being” made our world and create every thing, but it is us who finished our society with elaboration.

10. Do you think unity is important? Yes. In Confucianism, unity is something that one should always keep.
