April 17 转 再转 各说各话吧(转自台湾一位网友)
在14世代的传承中,有好几任達賴喇嘛都是英年早逝,原因很简单,利益斗争,下毒暗杀,这就是为什么清朝朝廷最后給他们定下一个金瓶制度的原因,乾隆实在受不了这帮喇嘛們明爭暗斗的暗杀了。 April 16 关于睡的句子一些午夜的时候你缓慢死亡 黎明的时候又 带着前一夜的印记重生 这种摹仿自作聪明
时间活在你之外 你活在我之外 我在梦中 你突然醒了
那一刻你仿佛第一次认识到死亡 距离我们这样接近甚至 生于死的距离就像你和我 就像电话突然中断
谢天谢地我们真该感恩 当我们都睡着的时候或者 趁我们都醒着 伸展一下我说
早安啊 大到没有的命名
胡不归 公司吃早餐时顺便盗取部分office hour April 15 台湾朋友转一个墨尔本人的信 与我的回信Hi Xiao,
I got an email from my friend (Aussie) in regard to the Chinese Demonstration today. I have a feeling you are part of the committee team, or your friends might be in it. As a Taiwanese, I cant comment on anything between Tibet and China without being emotional. So I will remain silence. But I think someone in the Chinese student group should at least know what other Australian normal citizens' point of view. So I feel like sharing this letter with you, coz I respect you, as a director, as an artist, and as you. Maybe you could change something. I'm not talking about political views, coz I respect everyone's point of view and culture differences. I mean, changing the approach. Wish you all the best. Athena P.s. London is an amazing city, but Chinese, Jap/Korean, etc are minority. Asian=Indian here, We would be called Oriental, I feel like I belong to a group selling instant noodles and soup... -----Original Message----- From:Sent: 14 April 2008 04:51 To: Subject: Re: India plans Athena, Sorry about the text message in the middle of the night. There was a huge Chinese demonstration down Swanston street, lots of enormous Chinese flags and shouting. I was quite perturbed and I thought it would relieve my feelings if I commented to someone. As far as I could make out, they were trying to say that 1. Chinese people are incredibly nationalistic 2. they really want to hold on to Tibet 3. there is a lot of media distortion. Since this is pretty much what the Tibetans and the western media are complaining about, I don't see what the demonstrators were hoping to achieve. It scared the hell out of me and I suspect pretty much everyone else in the city who wasn't a Chinese citizen. Most of the demonstrators were young student types. It was like a Hitler youth rally, only better dressed and not quite so well synchronized. Sean 以下是我的回信
Hi Athena Thanks for your email! However I am nowhere near being a committee of that event. If you had read some of my previous entries, either on Space or Xiaonei, you would've noticed that I am actually badly concerned about the demonstration before it took place. And your friend's letter has just perfectly proven my point ---- this demonstration would only get negative effects, if not nothing at all. I could so simply foresee how red flags can scare the crap out of some White. (Sorry for calling them by colour, but since we're all titled by Nationalities and Races, I have to respect them as much as the same) It's almost an all-known fact that China is a Communist country. and Chinese communism equals red, red equals something revolutionary and Hitler-like. I don't know how you think of this but I completely disagree this whole logic. I don't know what scared your friend so bad. If it was me then I apologize. Yeah I was there, just walking with the crowd, silent for the whole duration. So it wasn't me, it seems. So, without being guilty for terrifying some innocent Westerners, am I capable to say something only representing myself? 1. Are you (your friend) scared when you see Tibetans run towards the Olympic torch? --if not what are you afraid of China and Chinese? Just becoz our English is pathetic enough to make confusions with our government's foreign policies stupid enough to allow the Western media to say whatever they like to without having any power to fight back in the same way, (oops that was long) it doesnot mean we ARE what you think we are. 2.You know what, I spent at least 6 long years in Aus, and I start to like it here. It is different from China, I admit. But for those of you who has not lived in China, your opinion is obviously lack of facts to back it up. For I have lived inside China, and outside, is there any reason for you Westerners to believe that I have not enough IQ neither some normal human senses to make my own judgement, after thinking of what I've seen and heard in China and in Australia about China? Am I so look like had been brainwashed? 3.Before all this happened I always say to a Korean friend that I am not willing to be a Chinese (typically), politically saying, neither do I wish to become an Australian, even if I could. I said to this Korean friend that we are some anarchists, or Internationalists. At least we were all keen to become one. However now Western majority is pushing me away, and pushing me closer and closer to being a Chinese patriot. I hope Western people can learn to think. Learn to make their own judgement. Chinese had been fooled by its own propaganda and media before, in the 1960's-1970's, in 1989, and more. I admit many of the Chinese people still are. However do you really think that someone who survived through the Cultural Revolution can have no caution to obvious lies? We ARE NOT brainwashed at all. Sometimes I think that Western people, due to their priviledge feeling and due to their feeling of being the "redeemer" to the 2nd and 3rd World countries, they are the really lost ones. I have to say, for now, I envy them coz they are, no matter how fast they might fall, still the top of the world. For the future, I pity them. Amen. Again, I have nothing to do with this relay,(which to me the relay looked great, if not thinking about how YOU think of it) except the fact that I was there for support as a Chinese citizen (whom your friend apparently doesnot respect, ha.). However after reading your friend's email I would really like to organize another one. Also there is another fact that I have to tell you. Chinese people had not been having any protest or relay ever since 1989, which is 19 years ago. So the protest you've seen last Sunday , was the first time for most of the people involved. Forgive rookies, if I have to say. As I forgive your friend for his/her blind despise and misunderstanding. We were not asking for more, just one sentence : respect truth, respect China. If that's what you cannot do, fine with me, and see you in 20 years. p.s.Athena, can you tell me why the hell am I feeling so angry now?! What do they want from us!!! Regards Xiao Liu a Chinese working in Melbourne architecture office April 14 NewsSaw an outdated news on The Age, Aus. It's titled as Crouching Panda, Hidden problems. ZHAO, 25, is sitting beneath the plum blossoms of an elite Beijing university thinking about patriotism, bloodshed in Tibet and China's place in the world. "The Chinese people have never been more united than they have become in the past month, both within China and across the world," says Zhao. To the West, "Tibet" has become a shorthand symbol for a brutal, illegitimate Chinese dictatorship. But to many Chinese people, "Tibet" is merely a vehicle, or a weapon, that the West can conveniently use to bash their mother country and deny them the Olympics — their moment of global validation after 200 years of humiliation. Zhao has taken leave to perfect his French so that his nuclear power company can work more closely with its Parisian joint-venture partner. He gets his news, he says, beamed in by satellite from CNN and the BBC. He's no brainwashed revolutionary or uneducated peasant. He chooses who to listen to, what to say and what to think. And right now, when he and his countrymen feel under siege from the outside world, he chooses to side with the Chinese Government's propaganda machine. "Tibet has always been a part of China, and the Chinese Government has given them no small amount of good things," Zhao says. He says the Tibetan riots have been the work of "people behind the Dalai Lama" in concert with a small group of "simple" people motivated by self-interest. These people, he says, "have taken a little bit of money or want to improve their position in the Dalai Lama clique". And the protests and scuffles that have followed the Olympic torch through London, Paris and San Francisco are all the evidence he needs that the West can't abide a rising China. If Western journalists are obsessed with the "sinister" blue-tracksuited Chinese torch guards, the Chinese media is besotted with a pretty and plucky Chinese wheelchair athlete who defended the torch from a pro-Tibet assailant, and won. "China has grown up very quickly — it is natural that other countries are jealous," Zhao says. Each time a Tibet protester disrupts the Olympic torch relay, and each time a world leader vows to boycott the Olympic opening ceremony, hundreds of millions of people like Zhao edge further away from Western aspirations and a little closer to the Chinese Government. It is the great conundrum of human rights advocacy, understood perfectly by Australia's most senior diplomats and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, but lost in the media clamour to "stand up to China". The conundrum is especially challenging for a cause such as Tibet that has almost zero popular support among non-Tibetan Chinese. April 10 饭后的说话聊众朋友们中午好,又到了每天的饭后剔牙时间
前几天跟朋友们吃饭,提起4月13日的游行。在这里补充说明一下:游行的目的是反对西方媒体对Tibet暴动事件的扭曲报道,以及支持北京奥运会,抗议ZD分子们的不和谐行径…… 我从一开始就没有打算参与。
在墨尔本许多年了,没少见到游行示威的人群,登台宣讲的自由言论者。但一直认为这也不过是西方政府的狡猾处——允许你游行,给你的怨气一个出路。与其让你憋着,不知什么时候就要爆发出来,倒不如组织你们出来叫唤叫唤,撒撒气。
再者,游行——且不管是为了什么,都会唤起一种虚假的正义感,让你觉得自己仿佛站在正义和真理的队伍里,英勇无畏地面对着邪恶。——这种病在中国或许不重(也或许是有了中国特色),但在西方几乎人人染恙。
游行给人以虚拟的崇高感。Moral satisfaction。
所以这样的“伪游行”,倒不如不去。
本来这样盘算着,也就无可奈何花落去吧,何必为了一个骗局,陷身另一个。
但西方媒体的水平之低,脸皮之厚,思想之偏激,终于将我推向了游行的行列,只想喊一句: “还他妈让不让人过了!”
西方人的愚蠢和自大并不是由今日始。东方人的谨小慎微和崇洋媚外也分一日之功。 真希望这次不幸的事件能将双方都多少唤醒一点,至少也不要睡得那么深沉。
但不知怎的,我仍对这次游行没有丝毫信心。
我不知它的组织者是谁。但他的盲目,激愤和粗心大意,即便是一切尚在筹划,就已经显现了。
口号的指向不明确 No Riots in Tibet No distorted report
首先,第一句No riots in Tibet 是什么意思?意思有三
1。Tibet你不要再暴动了!
2。不要再有针对Tibet的暴行了!
3。Tibet没有暴动。
下一句:No distorted report。这句明白一些:不要扭曲报道嘛。 可是问题来了,你指向的是谁? 我相信很多西方人,西方媒体看到听到此标语后,会认为distorted report指的是中国的媒体。 搬了个山,砸自己脚尖。
下面一句更加不必要了:Tibet was,is and always will be a part of China。 这不是重点。 即使你不喊,Tibet还是一部分。既然要喊,那也要喊点道理出来。 否则,听上去反而让人觉得心虚,仿佛一个正常的男人走在街上, 并大喊:我没有被阉啊!还在阿!还在!
组织上的问题也一样大:允许,并鼓励自备标语牌。 真是省事呀———— 一看就是一个没组织过游行的、来自一个不允许游行的国家的人的办事方法。 游行的标语要统一。这是最起码的。 且不说万一写标语的哪位脑子不够用,写的词不达意,乱七八糟,导致游行队伍的声音都自相矛盾————更甚者,万一哪位愤青岁月正浓的兄台或姊妹,拉出一些惊世骇俗之狂言,不堪入目之乱语,这个责任谁负?
——这引出一个问题,很严肃: 在这里,我们游行。我们游行,我们代表一部分中国人。所以不该是谁要对我们负责的问题,而首先该正视和重视的,恰恰是,我们要对谁负责。
但就算这将会是一次弄巧成拙,我也去。 在有两种立场的情况,我将一直站在且只站在一方之中——
有理的一方。
且把正义扔了吧,这玩艺从根本上说,是不存在的。我们只说天理,和人理。
顺便一说,中国的许多修辞,定义,表达方式,我看都该改革一番。 比如:“我们代表中国,在此……”。没有任何人,可以在精神、思想、政治倾向等等层面上,宣称自己代表一个国家。哪怕你是最高领导人。
这次我的感情,我的心魂,都站在祖国的一边。我全身心地对西方人投去我愤慨的脑电波。 但尽管如此,我依然认为,国家集体主义,是时候该土崩瓦解了。
看,有会有人说出一些带有“特色”的中国式话语了吧,比如: “你的这种思想很危险。” April 04 饭后要喝茶这人呀
有时候真是一点想说的废话都没有。
抬头一看,Pepsi广告:“点燃你的爱国热情——登上百事罐身,对全世界说,我的爱国心海枯石烂……”
于是我突然想到了娃哈哈和非常可乐。
说不定哪一天也会有“爱中国,爱索尼”之类的吧。
墨尔本一些华人学生要游行,抗议国外媒体对Tibet暴动事件的扭曲报道。 也算是发个声音吧。只是作用远不会有游行者所以为的那么大。
而法啥功的“小说家”们是全职的。
其实换一个党,换一些人,在中国,会有区别么。
很久以前,有一群囚徒砸碎了镣铐,冲出了牢狱,冲进了皇宫,囚禁了王公大臣们。 后来,另一群囚徒砸碎了镣铐,冲出了牢狱,冲进了皇宫,囚禁了原来的囚徒们。 终于有一天,几个囚徒砸碎了镣铐,冲出了牢狱,冲进了皇宫,他们说,“同志们,让我们来建设一个新的天地。我们要建一座前所未有的房子,它既不是牢狱,也不是皇宫!”大家欢呼。
但可惜,他们只见过两种建筑:牢狱,和皇宫。
但有希望终归是好的。
总之吧 其实吧
嗯
活着就是等待
