I do agree one comment that the government did not treat its own fellow citizens equally as foreigners being treated. Injustice always causes resentment, hate. When I was in China, I need to get approvement to go to Shenzhen, each time. But if you hold HongKong passport, foreign country passport, you can go there freely. I hate for being treated like this. One possible reason why the safeguard hit the car could be that he did not get respect from the driver and the passenger (unfortunately a foreigner), and he got very angry. As a human being, we all have dignity, we all want to be respected. From you description, it seems all those people that support the safeguard share a same common backgroud: they are not repected from the society, from the government. They found a way to vent their resentment to the society by supporting the safeguard. So be understanding, not just judgement. I do not agree with JS's point that those people did not quest wrong or right. Also, I am strongly against the correlation between this event with WWII. JS is kind of an elite now in China. But you need to go to those people's life to understand the feelings of those people. Then you will not make those judgement. I also does not agree the patriotism. There is no patriotism issue here. |
