Subject: Do we still have feelings, after 12 years?

Well, I'll going to say something boring again.

(You'll have enough time to switch channel.....)

12 years ago, when I walked back to school in the evening, I watched the match of the students in Beijing. They defied the threat from the People's Daliy on 26 April.

Thousands of students, singing 'the Internationale', supported by thousand, probably millions, of citizens of Beijing.

That was really unforgetable. When I got in the classroom, I told my students to remember the day - 'It will be more important than May Fourth'.

It is.

Of course you may argue that resulted in the tragedy of June 4 (actually June 3, but most people are not very precise in history). Yes it has, but this has also changed China.

Sad to say that in a way China hasn't changed. Still a corrupted and arrogant country, with mostly corrupted and arrogant people. I don't know which direction this country is moving to. My sense in history tells me it is comparable to Japan in the eve of the Second World War.

Well, we are 12 years older.

And the Tiananmen dissents are also 12 years older - from young students to middle-aged bums like.....

Who cares? Porbably only those naive, single idealist still cares. What's the point of remembering all this?

Yes, no point at all. I just have time.

It's good to be free and single.

It's good to be alive (and living in a country you like) too.

Have a nice day.

Simba
