I'm a chinese. I'm here just because I want to say something without prejudice.
I had an opportunity to choose anather foreign language as my second foreign language last year. The first one is English, of course. I chose German since I pretty like this country and it' people. Germanic features and their attitude towords everything have deeply impressed me.
I believe they are prudent, cautious and they always show complete impartiality in discussing some sensitive issues.
But now I have to admit that what I have seen from this forum and the news completely destroyed my belief and of course,many other's.
We are, kind of frustrated and disappointed. We are tired. What chinese people want is just to live a happy life without any interruption from any other country. This may be a basic expection. Please excuse us for thinking like that. We had an awful history between 1840 and 1945, which was, be honestly, brought by some wertern countries, mainly including English, France, America, also Germany, and an Asia country, Janpan. It was not a history written by the communists. It was a history told by my grandpa, my grandma, and many other elder relatives. We hope we can remember the period of history just in case we are invaded again several decades later. Compared with that awful history, the present China, ruled by the Communist Party, has satisfied our requirements. I'm not a communist and do not want to be a communist. I do not support the Communist Party but I totally support the government. Maybe there is no differences between Communist Party and the present Chinese government for some western people, who don't have the basic knowledge of the present China so that they can't distinguish and also can not understand why we support the government.
Said the truth, I'm really out of energy to explain more of the Tibet affair. We ove all the people live in the land in China; we also love all the people in the world. We have down nothing but there are lots of people ask us and our government to testify what we haven't down. While according to the civil law system or the common law system, it is those people that should testify what we have down. Ridiculously, their testimony and evidence can't be adopted since they've modified the evidence and their even don't have a real witness who can swear on the Bible.
Once I have been a little puzzled that whether I should go on my Deutsch study. The people who I used to admire do not believe our words. They prefer the lama rather than the millions of people. If you want, there is a lot of kind looking old men in China like DL lama. But to the contrary, they would not kill people and treat people as animals like DL lama. Kind looking doesn't means kindness. The way he treats you is different from he treats us.
There exists the so-called discrimination against the "han"people, but not the minorities in China. "Zang" is one of the 55 privileged monirities in China. The whole country has 56 ethnic groups. I'm still a student now. The college entrance examination has more restriction to the "han",which take a predominantly majority proportion of Chinese population. The minorities have more oppotunities to get higher education. The government gives them money to peaceful demonstrate, if only they want. Even the lama, are also paid and raised by the government except the one who had run away.
We just want a harmonious society with independent and equal individuals. So we privilege the monorities of powers and rights as many as possible in a way that most people from other countries cannot believe. The solid foundation of that policy is based on the 5000 years culture.
So if someone hadn't been to China, he would not have the right to say anything about China. While the truth is, most people who are criticising China haven' been to China not at least once. They cannot tell the Chinese history that doesn't originate from the media but some authoritive writings admited by both sides.
As for the Tibet culture, I hope people can understand that cultural integration cannot avoid under the circumstances of globalization. We Chinese people also have lost many part of our traditional cultom under wave of civelization. We have lost our traditional raiments; we have lost our traditional customs; We also have lost many typical buildings. But what's more important, we lost the degenerate social, political and cultural system. We are trying our best to make our society become a real democracy and liberty country. We are learning from all the advanced country. But it needs a long period of time to make that dream come true. We have a dream, like Martin Luther King's, and this dream is perfectly expressed by the slogan of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, "one world, one dream."
Now I'm quite sure I should go on my Deutsch study, for that dream.
PS:
If someone has different opinions, please send messages to me. I would like to discuss any issue with anyone so that we can both aquire two different thoughts.
