[The Pheonix]

Many of my Chinese are very gentle towards animals and even insects, and I soon found out why

Because CHinese are Buddhists and they believe in reincarnation. One can reincarnate into a bear, a civet cat or a fly after one's death. Therefore the average Chinese person generally do not mistreat any forms of lives for fear that it may be their dearly-departed dad, mom, or best friend

Also I read that majority of Chinese do not eat beef because of their eternal gratitute to the water-buffalo was pulling the farm-plough for them all these centuries

Many are Confucianists and Taoists in name at least. My suspicion is that after X number years of communism most are really godless atheists.
