| I thought I was reading a passage from my uncle's writing during the Cultural Revolution. Have we as Chinese learned nothing in 30 years? The same ignorance, the same hate-mongering, the same demeaning words. Whether you agree with one side of the Tibetan issue or another, it does not matter but how you treat other people's ideas as you would like your own ideas to be treated. We have learned nothing and I am ashamed of us all. And, by the way, yes, my uncle was a teacher killed during the Cultural Revolution for being a "traitor" and "too western". "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." --Albert Einstein |
