Ten minutes past seven
Beijing, Tsinghua University, March 2005. It is cold outside. Its freezing. The wind is blowing directly from Siberia. I cycle through the dark streets to my class, which will start at 7.10 pm sharp - Chinese universities use their buildings very well. The first class starts at 8.00 AM and classes continue until 10.00 PM. Every 50 minutes the hooter goes, followed by a 5 minute break, and then the hooter goes again. The next class is on. This night my class is a special one: the disassembly session. Products will be taken apart and studied. Everything is in place, the discarded products, the tools, utensils and the notebooks. The students are ready as well. It took me quite some effort to convince everybody that this session was a useful exercise for their intellectual education. The hooter sounds, time to attack the products, there they go at an incredible speed. I let it go for one minute, it is great to see this engagement and concentration, then I shouted: STOP!! Everybody was amazed or puzzled. Some students showed fear when they heard this penetrating Dutch voice. What is wrong.
