' r It is lush, green gardens, well-fed, smiling children and clean factories. That is what the former graduate assistant of Centennial College captured on film the summer of 1973. This week, Ryan, who is currently an assistant professor of English a Staten " Island Community College In New York City, has returned to share her trip with Lincoln. She has shown her slides at Sheldon Art Gallery and Neihardt Residential Center and will show them Sunday at UM HE Common- place. She said she would also show tha slides to any group on request. ' Ryan-went -to China with faculty members and students from New" York. They were accompanied by four Chinese translators. The trip was paid for by the college. While she shows the films, Ryan tells how the Chinese lived before the Communist revolution and how they live now. She said she is biased because she has seen how well people are living and how clean the country is. Ryan said there is no political . apathy because there are revolutionary committees in each village that make decisions for the community. She said young people are encouraged to become involved with the government and to make decisions. During her talk at Sheldon Art Gallery Friday, ja Chinese woman said she agreed with what Ryan said "except people in China , do not have freedon of thought and that Is what is important." ; Yin-Wing-Hsu said what Ryan doesn't . know Is that the people are afraid to say things In opposition of the government. She said they are net really happy even though they are being fed and clothed because thsy can't "believe what they want to believe."
