No fake praises needed

The People's Daily reported yesterday that it is enlightening to those who realized that not all artists who performed at the Vienna Golden Hall are truly excellent. So is the discovery that not all "international prizes" are worth the acclaimed respect.

While this should be common sense, our countrymen have been too thirsty for international recognition to be sane for a while.

So we thank those who have taken the trouble to point that out and wake people up. And we share their sorrow for the nation's curious craze for overseas acknowledgements.
