For a long time,Xiamen(厦门),Quanzhou(泉州), Zhangzhou(漳州)and other southern Fujian areas areseeing damage to their culture and environment, affecting people’slivelihood and their children’s future. There is a growing need for acultural society where like-minded people can communicate and exchange theirviews, can look after themselves, and can promote rebuilding of their land andtheir humanity, hence the Lookers’ Society. This is not an organization: if youagree with concerns listed here, you are a Looker.
Based in Xiamen,Lookers’ Society are people who believe in “hometown is where we are”. They look out for their home and hometown, and for the wider world. Theylove nature, and are devoted to humanity. Whether at home reading or onthe road, they are always curious and are always motivated. As people keen insense and sensibility, they have a high regard for intellect, naturaldisposition, and all human beings. For the future as well for distant land,they have good-will expectations, but their motto remains “live the present andlook after your surroundings”. They are not in lack of grand ideals, but theyare more concerned with minor or micro ideals that present themselves. Micro ideals are those that are within the grasp, miniaturized, and readilyattainable. Lookers are such persons with a deep sense of humanity, with agenuine love for nature and humanity, who survey their land, having visited ornot, with a forever-young heart. They made their presence everywhere: in thebeaten path of historical places, in the fields or in the wild. They madeit to water’s end or the river bend. They went as far as their legs wouldcarry them. Looking, and looking on, doing their best to promote, protect andsalvage their earthly home.
Herein we canproclaim that from now on, there are people called Lookers, and there is lifeof a Looker’s life.
