Chinese Tour-Graffiti Brought Uncivilization Abroad

Ding Jinhao, a 15-year-old Chinese tourist became the storm center of Chinese internet. He irrationally carved "Ding Jinhao was here" in Chinese in the 3500 year old Luxor Temple and defaced the sculpture with graffiti (picture above).

The picture disclosed on Sina Weibo aroused a huge anger towards the boy and his family online, some netizens even hacked the homepage of Ding's school and left the words of "I was here" on the first page.

This is really humiliating for the whole China, however, I don't want to defend for Ding, but I must say: this is not the first case for Chinese travelers to deface tourist places, Ding just brought his defacing habit abroad, and what the sad is Ding's defacing may not be the last case due to Chinese tourist's lack of respect.

The case aroused so big outrage online because it took place in Egypt a foreign country, however, in domestic China, tourists have been used to watching uncivilized "I was here" carving:

Even some foreign tourists (you can see English and Korean) were polluted in such environment:

The reason why the Chinese tourists are so fond of defacing traveling places may be because they lack the respect to other people and the rest of the world. They don't know how to respect others and themselves. The missing of proper dignity is the worst part of Chinese education system since 1949.
