| Hi Belacqua, The poem you posted on this blog was just spiteful, disgusting , and offensive in particular for women . It serves a good example how evil can be exercised under the name of " freedom", no matter it is a " free posting " or " free protest ". Ô Liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom ! ” However, the poem you posted here does NOT mean: 1) the message it conveys is right, or 2) most Chinese people love this poem and think the same. ( On the contrary, most Chinese people will find it disgusting , like I do. ) , or 3) the majority Chinese people should be accused because of this poem. Similarly , I can give you plenty of links directing to offensive comments on China and its people, and I can also share with you some most disgusting things done by some Western hoodlums in night club, bar streets in Bei Jing , Shang Hai and Guang Zhou. But I won't do that. Why ? Because those virulent things have nothing to do with people here, and what bunch of goons and thugs did in China does't represent the majority of people in their home countries, or imply that the majority people should foot the bill for the wrong things done by a small proportion. In this sense, you were doing nothing smarter than some biased western media by purposely selecting the worst side and trying to make the rest of the people believe that this represent the majority of the Chinese, which is pathetical and totally wrong. What piss me off most is that any discussion , ANY, between some arrogant westerners and a Chinese, would be eventually directed to Tibet or human rights. It is the most popular game enjoyed by biased wetsterns around the whole world. I came to this blog to seek possiblities of communication and understanding bettween diffirent camps, but all of my efforts turned out to be in vain. The bias is just rooted in both sides of us too deeply, and the great gulf between us can unlikely be filled. To put an end to my last visit to this blog, let me borrow what you wrote in your last post with only minor changes, which can perfectly describe how I feel now. WE have lived in China for more than 5,000 YEARS and WE have extensive knowledge of it. WE ARE undoubtedly familiar with more of its cities, HISTORY, CULTURE AND THE REALITY through personal experience than most WESTERNERS. WE do not need you to patronise US as you seem to think is your duty. This is a very clear message I am trying to convey to people like you , in your own lauauge and your original sentences. Hopefully you will clearly receive it. |
