祝愿母校越来越好，早日成为名副其实的世界一流大学!

“自强不息，厚德载物”

也希望我能早日真正履行校训...

说说纽约这边的校庆活动:

大纽约区的THUers在这个周末连续在NJ和NYC举行聚会庆祝母校校庆。于是中午和Lily赶到Midtown Manhattan的成都印象饭店参加活动。

去了之后发现我们是最小的。。。显然，毕业了在美国的THUers就数3字班最新了，于是积极的帮忙打杂。其实是光彩照人的Lily同学被组织者搭讪了，而我本来坐着的地方旁边是一位冷冷的大妈...遂也跟着帮忙去了。

话说人真是多啊，组织者本来预计只有三十来个人，结果来了估计六七十，最高资格的貌似竟然有1933年入学的老前辈，最年轻的...说了，就是我们了。在帮忙的时候，认识了一位计算机系95级的前辈，他以前是奔腾队(计算机系棒球队)的球员，一看到棒球老前辈实在是激动兴奋幸福，相约之后去中央公园打棒球，期待得口水哗啦的。。。

忙活了半个多小时，把宾客都迎好了，这才发现我用书包和衣服占的俩位子被挪开了...没办法人太多坐不下嘛。也不是坐不下，正中间的一桌刚好有两个位子，但是我们踌躇着，因为那一桌都是白发苍苍的老前辈，实在有点不好意思。这时候一位老奶奶向我们招呼让我们过去坐...不敢不从，于是两个最小资格的家伙坐到了元老席...

元老们都很相敬如冰，我们更加是对他们"举盘齐眉"般的尊敬。显然的嘛，要知道清华的名声和实力就是这些老前辈们拼打出来的，我们是其受益者。只是...跟元老们实在没有什么好聊的，吃东西也放不开...如坐针毡半小时后，又来了被一只大妈搀扶的一位老奶奶。我们赶紧让座趁机逃到棒球前辈那一桌，这里果然热闹多了，虽然都比我们大5岁以上的...但是聊得很开心，认识了不少好玩的人，PS Lily 又被搭讪若干...

最后，希望有生之年能“为祖国健康工作五十年！”...那样的话，我至少得活到八九十岁还能干活...

好久好久以前，有个很可爱的小男孩和一株很善良的苹果树。小男孩每天都去找苹果树玩，在树干上荡秋千、告诉苹果树所有他的事情，他们互相彼此关心着……时间一天一天的过去，小男孩长大了。

一天，小男孩来到苹果树前，苹果树高兴的飘动着树叶说：“来吧，来吧，我的孩子，爬上我的树枝和我玩吧。”小男孩摇摇头说：“我长大了，不想和你玩了，我想要玩具！”苹果树说：“对不起，我没有钱，你摘下我的果实去集市卖吧，这样你就有钱买玩具了。”小男孩听了很高兴，摘下树上所有的苹果，很久都没有再回来，但是苹果树觉得很幸福很幸福。

日子一天天过去，小男孩长大了，长成了壮年。一天，他又出现在苹果树面前，苹果树高兴的舞动着树叶说：“来吧，来吧，我的孩子，爬上我的树干和我玩吧。” 而小男孩却悲伤的说：“哎……我恋爱了，我想结婚，但是我没有房子……”苹果树说：“对不起，我没有房子给你，你砍下我的树枝去做房子吧，这样就可以过上幸福的日子了。”壮年听了很高兴，砍下树上所有的树枝，满意的走了……苹果树只剩下秃秃的树干，但是她心里仍然觉得很幸福很幸福。

又不知过了多久，壮年又出现了，苹果树高兴的弯下树干说：“来吧，来吧，靠在我的身体上和我说说话吧。”而壮年却沮丧的说：“我不想一辈子都在这里，我想去旅行，去见识外面的世界……”苹果树说：“对不起，我不能和你一起去旅行，你砍下我的树干去做艘小船吧，这样就可以去你想去的任何地方了。”壮年听了很高兴，用力的砍下树干，开始了他的旅途……苹果树只剩下了最后的树桩，她看着壮年远去的背影很难过很伤心，但是她心里还是幸福的。

日子一年一年的过去，苹果树桩上裂开了口子、长满了青苔，她的心没有一天不在思念她的小男孩。终于，在某个不知名的日子里，她的小男孩回来了，这时他已是一个头发花白的老人。苹果树高兴极了，含着泪微笑的说：“来吧，来吧，我的孩子，我已经没有什么可以给你的了。如果你累了，就坐在我的树状上歇歇脚吧。” 老人坐下来，从此再也没有离开……

你也许觉得故事里的小男孩对苹果树很残忍。然而，现实生活中，很多人都是这样对待自己的父母的。

心里多惦记些父母吧，常回家看看，他们永远是这个世界上最无私的爱着你的人！

王￥1000事件中现在主要卷入的有三方：她本人，爱国fq，西方媒体...

下面我转贴的两个来自博客BIBIT NATUALE D'ITALIA的post请耐心看完...之后大家就知道在这个事件中折腾的除她本人之外的两边有多么傻了...苦笑不得，无论是跟她急的广大fq还是西方媒体都太没面子了-_-同时也验证了我说的"根本不用care that much"是对的...

1. I really just have to write this

发布于04-16-2008

link: http://happinessguaranteed.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-really-just-have-to-write-this.html

Wow. Just wow. While I have physics and a paper to write, I really need to get this out.
Grace Wang. She's really something.

She's quite useful to the media. Both sides are having a field day. The chinese TV are branding her as this terrible traitor while western media is holding her up as the lone voice of reason. They both are neglecting the truth, what Grace really is, beyond the 9 minute Youtube video and glorious interviews.

When I first met her at a dinner, she immediately spilled her life story. I thought, maybe she was being a slightly socially incompetent fob and trying to make friends. I listened. What a good story it was.

She told of how she was involved in a political group with some top lawyers in China. They were trying to get the truth out of the Tiananmen square incident. They wrote articles and blogs together on the subject. Then one day, one of her friends involved in the group disappeared. They called her, went to her house, tried everything, but she was no where to be found. Then Grace and her parents start freaking out. Grace's dad, at the time the ex mayor of Qingdao, afraid of Grace facing a similar fate, went to her files in the city government and threw them out. She got a new name, and quickly moved to South Korea. At the time, Grace told us that she already dropped out of her high school in Qingdao because she was unsatisfied by the best high school in Shandong province. She moved to Korea, and there she learned English by watching American films. While she was there, she also slept around with a lot of guys. Then she applied to Harvard and got rejected. The next year, she applies again, to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Duke. She gets accepted to all but Harvard. She chose to come to Duke because she got the Robertson. She then turns down the Robertson because she didn't want the restrictions set by the program.

After the story finished, we were all pretty amazed. We were all thinking that this seemingly innocent Chinese student is destined for greatness. After we come back to my room, she proceeds to tell one of us about the guy in the dorm she had sex with. I was quite shocked by this. She seemed so innocent, and we had only been at Duke for less than 5 days. She says the guy was a virgin and now he wants a relationship. We go to the common room, she points him out, and he was playing pool at the other side of the room, totally not paying attention to her.
Later on, Grace begins telling us many stories about herself. All she ever talks about is herself.
As the stories piled on, they became inconsistent, and sometimes directly contradicting. People begin question her trustworthiness. Eventually, after months of lies and irrationality, people begin disliking her. For such a trusting and kind dorm like Brown to dislike someone, you really have to be special. And Grace is that special. Now we know she is a liar. She didn't go to Korea or even participate in anything political. She even told people that she wrote her own recommendations for college applications. She made up stories to make herself seem impressive for colleges, and now, the western media.

She's overloading by taking around 6 courses. 2-3 of those are foreign language courses. She was angry that the academic dean wouldn't let her do more. Funny thing is, she's definitely not doing well in any of them. I've heard her practice her German, and it is atrocious.
She also reads like a maniac. I don't really know what she reads, but it's Chinese literature/philosophy and political theory. She prints hundreds of pages a night to read, parades around with her stack of papers, telling anyone who would listen, trying to impress another person of her political acumen.
She shaved off her eyebrows the other day. Because 1: all her boy problems will go away, and 2: pretty girls never make history.
She also makes up stories about how people ask to have sex with her or perform sexual acts with her.
Is it me, or is she someone trying to convince herself that she's destined for greatness?

It would really take a really long time to really describe all my Grace stories and I don't have time for it. But all I can say is, she has been lifted up by western media as a martyr in this battle for Tibet. And she's drinking in every moment of it, because finally, she is being seen as a hero.
What a silly, irrational girl.

Oh how could I forget to mention, she wants to be president of China.

There's a certain Grace Wang in Brown. just wow. I shall copy and paste an interesting email conversation.

Dear Brownies,

I'm Grace Wang (王千源) from second floor. I think I've at least talked to everyone here. If not, I'll pay a kind visit to you as soon as possible. I've experienced some serious issues in our dorm recently that almost made me move out. Actually I've already submitted my reaccommodating application and decided to leave by next Friday. But after days of serious consideration, I decided to stay because I believe the best way to solve the problem is not to quit but to confront it. I'm writing this email to you because I think this is an issue considering every one of us.

The problems are distrust and gossip. Of course, not all Brownies gossip. But a lot do. Brown is a very close community, which facilitates communication of all kinds and, of course, a curiosity of our neighbors' interesting lives. Not only do many of us nose into others' privacy, but also do we share our amazing discoveries. I've heard some very unkind sayings from young gentlemen gossiping about their roommates, or ladies meanly mentioning their neighbors, even from people I trusted and respected so much. Many, if not all, of the stories were simply fabrication but like snowballs they grew bigger and bigger. None of us is perfect but that is not an excuse for us to hurt others. Treat others as how we want to be treated and insulting others is humiliating ourselves. I became a target probably because I acted up against it. Recently I was openly insulted by more than ten people who barely talked to me anywhere but Marketplace about several different issues in public. When I responded to those rummors, I was laughed at by many other watchers who seemed to be so nice otherwise. I was forced to answer questions that should not be asked by any rational being in public. (When he asked me these questions the gentlemen was wearing a contented smile.) I was chased by a gentleman who had insulted me many times and he even cornered me to forgive him without trying to appologize after all he did. Suddenly, after all these happened, everyone went back to their small niche and became a saint again. From their smile I saw insecurity; from their pretension I saw hollowness; in their eyes I saw fear. Majority is no guarantee to be correct. Up till now I haven't received any apology from any single person. All I got is denial and denial and denial. Dumb as I am, I still got the message. All they meant is just "it was not my fault," "it was only a joke," and "I didn't say anything." This is how responsible and brave they are. I was so frustrated. I almost packed up everything and then I unpacked again. I unpacked and decided to stay because I know I'm not alone. If they can gossip about me then they can gossip about everyone. Or maybe they even gossip about each other. Only by blaming others would they find their own security and peace.

I have already forgiven everyone and forgotten every insulting word. But my principles are inviolable. I don't mind if some people would continue gossiping about me after I wrote this letter. What I want to tell them is that I will defend everybody's privacy to be protected and reputation to be preserved. I will fight for this public disease to death. If anyone want to talk with me about this, my room is 226.

My last words here are that we should cherish the opportunity to have everyone here. Instead of hurting each other or saying a superficial hi, there're much more meaningful things to do with each other. Together, we should protect each other, help each other, and love each other.

Peace,

Grace

A response sent to her in private, but she decided to send the response to everyone in the dorm, including the original message.

Hi Grace,

I don't really know how I am considered by you, but I feel that you are a great person and have lots of potential. You should know that Brownies are not malicious beings who gossip to hurt you. You should try to see that they are trying to help you.

The distrust is there because you tell us many different versions of your life. You are the propagator of all these rumors. Like this email, your stories get told by mostly you. You do realize that mountains of rumors will now spread because you have brought yourself to the attention of others and now you will be discussed? You might feel that people are insulting you by their disbelief, but I think you are the one insulting yourself with your false stories. You first told me that you are from Qingdao and that you are here due to political persecution. I have heard different versions where you organized an international conference and it flopped, thus you are here. People are not dumb, we piece together your inaccurate stories. I will not guess at the reason why you make up many different versions of your life, but perhaps you are doing this to impress us? Please do not feel a need to impress everyone you meet, spill your lifestory to everyone you meet. There is distrust because you created it. Not only do you make up lies about yourself, you openly tell stories about others. Perhaps they are true, but because of our previous experiences with you, we do not how to view this. If you did fabricate these events that have taken place, you have hurt them way more than anyone has hurt you because you are actively harming others. But perhaps you did not make anything up and we are just very bad at piecing together your lifestory (we do so because it definitely is interesting, from what you have told us), so we could take all those stories as truth with a grain of salt.

Also to let you know, you are infamous on west and infamous within the Chinese circle at Duke. Had you escaped Brown, you would have been confronted with a world of people who arent so patient with your lies.

Curiosity is only natural, from what I hear, you are also very curious about political science. Curiosity means no harm. If I were you, I would be grateful that no pranks have befallen you.

Like any person with self respect, you have a sense of pride. I respect that, yet it is wise now, and definitely in the future if you wish to persue a successful political career, to be humble. Try to understand others, look at yourself for perhaps the blame lies there.

I do this not to hurt you, but to ease your current social situation on campus.

Please try to be open minded about things.

Grace (王千源)'s Response:

I admire your courage to reply in such a candide way. When I wrote the letter to everyone, I never thought about you so I was surprised by what you said about Chinese community. You have made a very fast judgment on me and also an unfair generalization about Chinese community. As far as I can see, you like to make fun of Chinese people and see yourself superior than Chinese (maybe only those who are more Chinese than you are?) Candidate, I have faith in Chinese community here and everywhere. I also believe that people have the ability to tell right from wrong. Apparently some people have eagerly spread the rumor to as many people as possible. I can tell you that all of the stories you heard from me are true. I am also very happy to see how much interest you showed to my and others' life. If you want to know something about my personal life as you have shown apparent interest, I can tell you very candidly whatever is appropriate to tell. I am from Qingdao, which is a fact that I have never ever hide. I have also organized an important political protest in Beijing. The political science professor Tianjian Shi at Duke and a Chinese student (Class 11 from Beijing) called Ruochen Zhu can attest what I've said. I can also tell you that that protest had something to do with Duke university political science department and I communicated with president Brodhead and got replies from the then political science departement acting chair Michael A Gillespie and Vice Provost for International Affairs Gilbert Merkx.

If I feel a little intimidated, I wouldn't even try to write this email or to stay here. I told the story because my past shows who I am today and I am still bothered by a lot of the experiences. I also want people to be aware of the political status quo in China and feel a need to care. I have been through a lot more than you can ever imagine and it is not easy to handle by myself. You don't need to worry about how do I or others think about you. It is what you think of you and what you do that matters. I have said I have chosen to forget about everything everyone did. I hope this is the end of your game.

Best,

Grace

不用我多说什么了吧。。。一个幻想型精神分裂的家伙(希望她早日得到相应的精神帮助，不是嘲笑，真心地说)，让上亿人和无数媒体为之疯狂。。。她倒是达到她的目的获得了她要的快感了。而对于fq们，天，别人该怎么说阿，“看，中国人连一个精神病人说疯话都不放过”么-0-...至于媒体们，本来就很傻却，这下该丢大发了。话说，这个博客的主人还真是好玩，竟然在一个多月前就把王￥1000的真面目揭发出来，哈哈，过阵子如果真能去DUKE玩，希望有幸见识一下XD

还是咱们政府nb。。。根本就没打算理她，一定早就知道她的精神状况了-_-。话说回来，也多亏了这个王￥1000，暴露了咱们很多问题。

关于针对王￥1000的网友攻击我也说了，这里不再重复。单是看我上上篇post中的回复，我在自己这个偏僻的角落发表的文章，都能引来D1同学的人身攻击。我相信从我最近的Post来看，一般人应该都能看出我是很爱国和反藏独的，而我只是说不要对王￥1000和其家人太Harsh之类的言论，得到的reply如下：

R u fucked by america as well?

Fuck u bitch!

She is such a screwed puppy of America this fucking bird!!!Ameria is killing around the world! Her whole family has fucked up mind!

what the hell of human rights she knows about? has she ever been to Tibet? She doesn't know a shit about it!

Just go fucking die! if i was in america right now, i wouldn't mind going to kill this bitch. she dosen't deserve any human right, not even to exist!!!

其实扔出这种言论的人，其素质可想而知，我本懒得care，但是目前就是因为这样的人让大家之前取得的成就大打折扣，我不得不说两句。

对任何跟你稍微不同的声音进行打压、辱骂和赌咒，难道这就是爱国？有点基本的民主素养行不行。。。如果说王￥1000因为说了两句话就是犯叛国罪，那么对于那么多扬言要以各种不堪入目的方式杀了王￥1000及其家人的网友，是不是该赶快被公安机关给抓起来？

本来世界看到的是华人理智和平的抗议，有不少人在想自己是不是一直认为的真相其实是不对的，他们开始关注我们的不同声音，用新的角度来看西藏问题和达赖喇嘛的真实面孔；连CNN都因为大家的努力进行了道歉。但是，就是fq们的行为，让媒体们又抓到了把柄，赶紧采访王￥1000并了解事情发展。他们会说，诺，你们看，中国人就是这样子的，我们之前也没有说错嘛。

以下是纽约时报明天将刊登的文章，同样建议耐心看完，这次人家并没有怎么bias。

Chinese Student in U.S. Is Caught in Confrontation

link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/17/us/17student.html?ref=world

DURHAM, N.C. — On the day the Olympic torch was carried through San Francisco last week, Grace Wang, a Chinese freshman at Duke University, came out of her dining hall to find a handful of students gathered for a pro-Tibet vigil facing off with a much larger pro-China counterdemonstration.

Ms. Wang, who had friends on both sides, tried to get the two groups to talk, participants said. She began traversing what she called “the middle ground,” asking the groups’ leaders to meet and making bargains. She said she agreed to write “Free Tibet, Save Tibet” on one student’s back only if he would speak with pro-Chinese demonstrators. She pleaded and lectured. In one photo, she is walking toward a phalanx of Chinese flags and banners, her arms overhead in a “timeout” T.

But the would-be referee went unheeded. With Chinese anger stoked by disruption of the Olympic torch relays and criticism of government policy toward Tibet, what was once a favorite campus cause — the Dalai Lama’s people — had become a dangerous flash point, as Ms. Wang was soon to find out.

The next day, a photo appeared on an Internet forum for Chinese students with a photo of Ms. Wang and the words “traitor to your country” emblazoned in Chinese across her forehead. Ms. Wang’s Chinese name, identification number and contact information were posted, along with directions to her parents’ apartment in Qingdao, a Chinese port city.

Salted with ugly rumors and manipulated photographs, the story of the young woman who was said to have taken sides with Tibet spread through China’s most popular Web sites, at each stop generating hundreds or thousands of raging, derogatory posts, some even suggesting that Ms. Wang — a slight, rosy 20-year-old — be burned in oil. Someone posted a photo of what was purported to be a bucket of feces emptied on the doorstep of her parents, who had gone into hiding.

“If you return to China, your dead corpse will be chopped into 10,000 pieces,” one person wrote in an e-mail message to Ms. Wang. “Call the human flesh search engines!” another threatened, using an Internet phrase that implies physical, as opposed to virtual, action.

In an interview Wednesday, Ms. Wang said she had been needlessly vilified.

“If traitors are people who want to harm China, then I’m not part of it,” she said. “Those people who attack me so severely were the ones who hurt China’s image even more.”

She added: “They don’t know what do they mean by ‘loving China.’ It’s not depriving others of their right to speak; it’s not asking me or other people to shut up.”

In a flattering profile in 2006, Ms. Wang was described in a Qingdao newspaper as believing she was “born for politics.” She writes poetry in classical Chinese, plays a traditional string instrument called the guzheng, and participated in democracy discussion boards back home, she said.

Ms. Wang said she was not in favor of Tibetan independence, but she said problems could be reduced if the two sides understood each other better.

Since riots in Tibet broke out last month, campuses including Cornell, the University of Washington and the University of California, Irvine, have seen a wave of counterdemonstrations.

When Ms. Wang encountered the two demonstrations last week, the Chinese students seemed to expect her to join them, she said. But she hesitated.

“They were really shocked to see that I was deciding, because the Chinese side thought I shouldn’t even decide at all,” she said. “In the end I decided not to be on either side, because they were too extreme.”

Daniel R. Cordero, a member of the Duke Human Rights Coalition and an organizer of the pro-Tibet vigil, said he was handing out literature when Ms. Wang came up and pointed to the counterprotesters.

“She was like, ‘Why are you focusing on the Duke students? Let’s have a dialogue with these people,’ ” he said. “And I’m thinking, oh come on, seriously, that’s not going to help anything.”

Some of Ms. Wang’s efforts to mediate were met by insults and obscenities from the Chinese students.

“She stood her ground; she’s a really brave girl,” said Adam Weiss, the student on whose back Ms. Wang wrote “Free Tibet.” “You have 200 of your own fellow nationalists yelling at you and calling you a traitor and even threatening to kill you.”

At Ms. Wang’s behest, he ultimately spoke to some of the Chinese contingent, finding, he said, that “we could compromise and say we all wanted increased human rights for all Chinese, and especially for Tibetans.”

Sherry, a Chinese graduate student who declined to give her last name for fear of being harassed, had a less heroic view.

“She claimed she wanted to make communications between both sides, but actually she did nothing before that night. She didn’t communicate with any organizers and actually was just performing,” Sherry said. But she called the backlash against Ms. Wang “horrible.”

“There are a few students that are very angry at her,” she said, “but there are many others who try to protect her, try to speak for her. Actually, the majority didn’t think she did so wrong to be treated like that.”

She said Ms. Wang had squandered some sympathy when, in an article in The Duke Chronicle, she blamed the Duke Chinese Students and Scholars Association for helping to release her information through its e-mail list.

This week, three officers of the association explained in an open letter that the mailing list was public and called the verbal attacks on Ms. Wang “troubling and heinous.” Her personal information and other offensive posts were removed “once they were brought to our attention,” the letter said. Student groups criticized the association for allowing them to be posted at all.

Zhizong Li, the president of the association, referred most questions to the university but said that only about a third of the pro-China demonstrators were association members. Duke has just over 500 Chinese students.

Ms. Wang, who has retained a lawyer, said pulling her personal information off the Web was not enough. “I will be seen as a traitor forever, and they can still harm my parents,” she said.

But for a woman under threat of dismemberment, she seemed remarkably sanguine — even upbeat.

“My parents are very tolerant to me,” she explained. “They were really disappointed in me for a long time, and I persuaded them to think differently.

“If I can change my parents, I can probably change others.”

想想看到这些的一般人将怎么看，特别是那些民主思想根深蒂固的西方民众，这带给他们的印象会如何，他们会用他们最爱的辱华方式说，"those un-educated brainwashed Chinese"。也许你会说你这么在意美国人看干嘛。等一下，我们到现在做的绝大多数事情，不就是想让西方民众了解真相，听到我们不同的声音么。如果我们连一个自己人的小小不同声音都容忍不了，怎么让别人对你的不同声音信服？

还是那句话，热血过后，冷静、理性，要达到自己的目的，就用正确有效的方式：有理有据的跟人交流、抵制法国货、和平示威等等，都是会逐渐取得成效的。

早上一醒来就看到网上出现的王千源父亲的道歉信：

关心王千源事件的全国网友及各国爱国学生和华侨：

您们好!
    今天我的心情异常沉重给各位替年幼无知的爱女王千源同学给大家真诚的道歉和诚挚的谢罪！
    从11日知道王千源的事情到现在，我和她的母亲异常关注，也搜索到全国各网站的报道并且看了大部分的相关论坛言论，当看到广大爱国华侨和留学生为了祖国的荣誉而奋不顾身保卫奥运会火炬能够顺利的传递，我们的眼泪是热泪盈眶，当知道自己的女儿发出不同的声音，并且站到了爱国学生的对立面，我们非常气愤，其中我们的压力无人知晓，我和她的妈妈多次通过互联网同王千源进行了沟通和了解，我们所有的辩白都是苍白无力的，王千源始终是我们的女儿，她现在也想告诉所有的人们：在这个大是大非政治立场面前，的确是错了！但是她始终是热爱我们的祖国，稍后她会发表个声明，声明自己的立场。我们谨此替王千源同学向全国人民谢罪！向世界华人谢罪！请求全国人民原谅她的无知，并且给她改正的机会!

----王千源的父亲王德玉
2008年4月14日晚

然后底下的评论，随便摘抄几句：

1.
自己生养了一个这么半吊的孩子，真是够悲哀的！
家门不幸，还说什么？要说，也得检讨一下自己是怎么当父亲的？
一个人不爱国，怎么指望她爱家，爱父母？
王德玉，你算是废物了！！！

2.
我建议王千源你们全家人找个没人的地方死了算了。别死在中国哦，中国没有你们这样的人。

3.
养不教，父之过。

按古人或者现在韩国人的做法，王1k的老子该切腹谢罪吧

4.
据王的父亲私下曾透漏，王千源的母亲曾经被一日本青年强暴失身，结果就有了王千源。对于她的身世她自己也非常清楚，所以从本质上来说，她不认同她是中华民族。她原来准备上美国求学，再转到日本寻找亲身父亲，再利用父亲的家族势力和金钱好好干一番事业！请大家多同情同情她母亲！对于她，我们就把它看作日本人吧！我代表她父母跪求大家了！！！！

5.
任何维护国家统一和完整的行为我们都应该支持。
我们不谈政治，不以一个政党的所为为借口来污蔑我们的民族我们的国家。
所以我们不接受道歉。我们不接受不原谅下一个“曲线救国”的汪精卫

倒，连同之前网上公布王千源家人电话号码住址并号召前往攻击的行为，我不得不说，冷静点理性点...

群起攻之，人身威胁，威胁家人加上现在其父母不得不出来“谢罪”，这些，在我想象中是数十年前才有的事情，怎么现在还在折腾啊。

到底这个才大一的王千源做了什么？值得让如此多的网友群情激昂的来辱骂赌咒她和她家人。我不禁对自己之前对她的同情产生疑问，于是我又搜了搜，以免自己漏看了她什么惊世骇俗的叛国行为。我的了解如下：
1.她在杜克大学的反藏独示威时公开占到同情藏独的西方学生一线，说了刺激中国学生的话：Being a Chinese doesn't mean I cannot think myself. I have my own judgement.
2.她帮忙写Free Tibet的标语。
3.发表了两篇很拽文却很不通的文章，第一篇希望大家冷静，第二篇提出西藏人权问题。
还有被网友指责但是没有证据的：
4.为了绿卡和美国国籍
5.受CIA指示反华

奇怪...我还是没有跟其他人一样恨不得把这个大一小孩撕碎的暴怒，似乎她根本不值得我care that much。另一方面，之前看到奥运火炬被阻挠、巴黎全城反华辱华，我可是真的心里十分激动，甚至当时有点生气得发抖的感觉。看来，我对和平示威的藏独没啥感觉(或许是因为他们改变不了什么吧)，但是辱华、暴乱我就很在意了。

至于网友对这个王￥1000，我也没说你们说人家汉奸怎么了，她确实从某种程度上背叛了汉族，但是人身攻击和威胁，甚至其家人受到威胁，我觉得实在不妥，而且又给恶心媒体以谴责我们的口舌。她做的事情，比起那些抗议的西方民众，也就是五十步之于百步。就算她被西方洗脑了，难道不能洗回来啊，那么多老外都被我们用事实说话给弄清了达赖的虚伪和藏独的恐怖主义，何况一个自己人。如果她真如同网友指责的是为了绿卡或者美国国籍，这就是一跳梁小丑嘛，直接忽视之就行了；如果她真是分裂国家什么的，党和政府自然会有对策的，依法办事，但是肯定不会因为她而去威胁其家人什么的，除非她家人真的做了违法的事情。

Anyway，只希望网友能冷静理性一些，特别是对待人家的家人要厚道一些。

回到事情的本质，关于西藏问题和抗议事件，这里有一些东西推荐给大家：

1.在西藏问题上与法国媒体唱反调的参议员

刚看完这个Video的时候感到十分震撼...这家伙竟然把问题看的如此透彻，而且总能一针见血指出问题并且摆出事例来支持自己的论点，把拉萨暴乱的实质、抵制奥运的虚伪、达赖喇嘛的本质、侮辱歧视中国还有整个西藏问题的本质等等都阐述的很简洁有力。让其间屡次试图提出反华言论被驳倒的主持人十分不爽。

这就是我们需要做的，冷静、有理有据。对我们之后跟西方民众交流西藏问题很有参考性。

2.Free Iraq, Free Tibet, Very Good Cause

2008-04-16 | 关于抵制法国货

今天看到有人反对抵制法国货, 一方面, 出现不同的声音是好事, 改革开放30年, 互联网发展十多年了, 当今的中国需要也容许多元化的声音, 这是一个国家成熟与进步的表现. 另一方面, 作为多元化声音的一类, 我本人赞成抵制法国货, 而且我也不认为抵制法国货就是愤青的表现而不抵制就是理性的态度.

数百年来, 国家与国家之间永远是利益的关系和实力的博弈, 西方文化的国际观更是如此, 今天的世界尽管变得更加相互关联, 博弈的手段可能不再那么血腥, 但其形式背后的人类本质没有丝毫变化, 况且所有的文化都有着强烈的爱国主义, 英雄主义的成分, 所有的民族与人民都是在爱国主义的价值观上来看待世界的.

正因为如此, 国家与国家之间, 除了互惠互利的商业双赢外, 更多的是互相的制衡和利益的交换, 而人类共同的理想或民主自由的理念只是装点, 最近的例子就是美国对伊拉克的侵略, 实际的目的是制服不听话的萨达姆, 使中东局势按照美国希望的格局实现稳定, 以便于美国获得石油资源, 却被美国的宣传机器宣传成为了伊拉克人民的自由民主以及控制大规模杀伤性武器, 真是欲加之罪何患无辞, 地球上的老大说你是什么你就是什么.

中国与法国的关系也是一种博弈制衡的关系, 博弈双方的任何一方的不负责任的举动都应该有后果, 这时候如果我们只是高风亮节, 想展示所谓大国风度, 就只能纵容对方的不负责任.

法国有哪些不负责任的举动呢? 中国刚刚给了法国200亿美元的生意, 法国媒体与政客却翻脸不认人地摆出一种西方人惯有的居高临下的态度对中国内部的事情评头品足, 横加干涉。 法国新任总统到英国访问, 与英国朝野会晤, 谈及中国西藏问题, 俨然如100多年前西方列强聚在一起讨论如何瓜分远东利益一般。 但今天的中国早已不是100年前的中国了, 中国人认为北京奥运会很重要, 火炬传递很重要, 你法国人从中国拿了那么多生意, 为什么还要抵制, 为什么纵容媒体歪曲地宣传, 为什么不对干扰火炬传递的活动强力制止。 本质上, 法国人还是没把中国人当回事, 两百年的优越感不是那么容易就消失的. 所以, 法国应该为其傲慢, 偏见, 甚至因懒惰而没有认清当今世界的实力格局而买单, 任何国家做任何事情都应该承担其后果.

法国的态度的后果之一就是失去了13亿中国人的心, 也就失去了13亿潜在的消费者, 我赞同抵制法国货, 就是要让充满偏见的法国媒体与公众感到损失与疼痛, 否则他们不会长记性的, 无论表面上多么善良与高贵的人其本质都是懒惰与贪婪的, 这是社会人类的本性, 改变世界的唯一办法是制衡 (leverage).

至于有人说抵制家乐福是自己损失, 我不以为然, 有那么多本土的连锁店可以去啊, 其服务不相上下, 本土企业赚钱了更能惠及本国人民。法国大企业在中国蒙受市场的损失了, 他们才会去影响法国媒体与政客, 教育法国人与中国人平等相待。女士可以不用对LV包那么痴狂啊, 中国企业生产的包有同样的质量, 要看透带个法国包感到体面的那点可怜的虚荣心， 人民币继续升值, 中国的服装服饰业开始从做苦力转型成打出自己的品牌, 希望国人多支持中国的品牌, 帮助中国产业的升级, 其实大多数洋品牌都是中国做的, 是那点虚荣心让我们化数倍的钱去买洋品牌.

张朝阳 2008年4月16日 北京

Hold Our Land, Love Our CHINA!!

首先说明，我是坚决支持祖国主权领土完整的，别说西藏这种法理上属于中国几百年的地方了，就是我们真的侵占了比如韩国之类的地方，我说不定都支持...国家利益至上，这是当今世界的主流，我也不例外的持这种观点。可惜即使西方社会再妖魔化中国，我们对外实在是不够aggressive，反而弱势。

《天葬，西藏的命运》里面就说过，随着中国的发展，必然会出现汉人藏独派，虽然我忘了具体是为什么了。所以，王千源的出现我并没有感觉多奇怪，就算她真是完全支持藏独的话，何况我觉得她还是支持西藏留在中国的。

王千源，我怀着最大的善意理解是，她只是在同情藏独；最大的恶意，她反华。So what? 西方民众无论是同情藏独还是反华的多了去了，出来一个汉人也有了类似的观点，为什么不能接受？13亿人里面就容不得一个不同声音么。至少暂时来看，她比起那些去抢火炬，暴乱或者实质性分裂祖国的人来说，她什么违法的事情都没有做，那她怎么做怎么说是她的自由。

但是看看从昨天开始网络上对她的漫天攻击，我虽然站在王的对立面，但是莫名的觉得心里有一种不舒服。公布个人家庭信息、人身攻击甚至发展到砸她在山东家里的玻璃...这都让我看到了现代中国历史上类似事情的影子，那些绝对不是我们想要的，对吧。

再来说西方社会对藏独如此广泛从政府到民间的支持者们，我并不是很反感。我觉得除了那些就是要用西藏来遏制中国的人，其他的，无论是一腔热血的以反抗霸权为己任的单纯家伙们还是收了一天300欧元的穷人们，都是可以用事实道理和有涵养的宽容去感化同化的，这样的例子也挺多了，我们自己有所准备的来好好跟他们交流就行了。就算不能帮他们从西方媒体洗脑中出来，so what，不同声音总是会存在的，再说真正决定西藏问题的不是藏独，不是西方民众也不是西方政府，而是中国国内的民心所向，从这点来说，西藏问题根本就不存在。

既然对外国人的不同声音都能接受，自己同胞就更应该宽容一点对待了。这就是我标题中的支持王千源的“一下”，没错，就是对她基本权利的捍卫。这并不妨碍我与她立场、言论的对立，也不妨碍我们对她行为的“愤怒”。

举点例子的话，如果一个西部加拿大人说自己支持魁北克独立，我相信其他加拿大人不会如同我们对王千源这样群起而攻之的。或者，一个英格兰人支持苏格兰独立，也难以想象其他英格兰人叫自己同胞卖国贼，英奸，或者其他难听的名称的情景。此外，Braveheart这部完全挺苏格兰民族主义贬英格兰的电影当年不也能在英国上映么。这一点，不能不说，西方在言论自由方面的素养，还是胜我们一筹的，也是值得我们学习的。其实，古人就说过“海纳百川，有容乃大”，虽然不知道放在这里是不是合适，我只是想说，对待不同声音，我们的态度和做法，也许该改进一下。

希望在DUKE的中国学生在冷静之后，会以事理来说服感化她。

最后转载一段话：

“大家都是受过高等教育的国家的敬业，是偶们民族的未来和骄傲。大家也都和偶一样，追求自由和民主。自由的最高境界是思想的自由，是你可以不受歧视（更不必说人身攻击了）地去思考和实践；民主不单单是投票，民选，而是民众的每个分子都可以自由表达自己意志而不受到任何不公正待遇。让偶们大家从自己做起吧，即使不同意对方观点做法，但是去捍卫对方的基本权利。”

                中国，加油！

伦敦、巴黎奥运接力真是精彩~几乎全城反北京奥运反共反华，满眼的雪山狮子旗，处处可听到的解放西藏的口号，当然还有时不时冲出来抢夺扑灭火炬然后被警察刷刷扑到的抗议者们，这一切让中国人觉得十分不爽，心里憋着一口恶气不能舒散。

我可能是对国际上厌恶中国反对中共习惯了吧，一副早有觉悟的样子。理他们作甚，祖国继续努力强大，他们叫得越凶，反而越好玩。不过这些团体也算是达到他们的目的了，给我们泼了好大一盆冷水，也让中国的形象不增反降，我不由得想针对“中共绑架了奥运”这种说法回应“靠，明明是tmd奥运绑架了中国”。

藏独、轮子、运运、疆独、胎毒、达尔富尔问题、人权组织......各路鬼神都跳出来抢北京奥运这块唐僧肉。(不过估计轮子运运等必然很郁闷，如此好的出镜机会全被藏独支持者们抢了风头)。

本来奥运就是一个让所有国家，不管他们政治上军事上有什么纠纷，都站在同一个赛场上来，弘扬人类和平和友谊的活动，结果现在这叫一个恶心的。那些想独立的想练功的就用实力上呗，一定要没种到用政治绑架奥运的手段，这么做只会让国内同情他们的人更加少，让中国人更加团结。自古以来真的能在中国土地上成事的，哪个不是得靠民心，现在这么拼命趁着奥运把民心更加凝聚到政府和共产党的那边，不得不说这群家伙的傻逼和没种。

中国人民从7年前开始期盼着今年，没想到盼着盼着的2008奥运年还没到一半就折腾成现在这么让人不爽。这好比一个好客的主人费尽心思准备一个宴席，结果客人们都反过来用各种理由让主人不爽和恶心，本来很开心一件事情弄得无比扫兴。而且即使如此扫兴了，还得装作没事一样继续办下去，之后说不定状况还多着呢。所以我说，中国就这么被奥运绑架了。

话说回来，咱们国家的国际形象真是烂的可以，什么糟糕的词都可以扔到咱们头上，第三世界的贫穷、人权问题我们顶着，冷战时期的共产主义名号我们虽然已经没了也还是得顶着，甚至连诸如美国这种超级大国才有的霸权旗号还是我们顶着，除了国家层次的之外，还有对我们的种族歧视和仇恨等等...

这一切除了是西方社会对共产主义、对中国的刻意为之，也有很多我们自己的原因，这里且不说政府到底做得怎样，因为我承认咱们政府不完美，而且以前也做了一些不好的事情，但是没有哪个政府是完美的没有做过错事的，比起那些西方列强的政府曾经的100步，我们估计连50步都到不了。我只是希望政府和中国媒体的宣传能够有效一些，而不是惨白无力的套话，那种连自己国民都不想听的宣传，对被西方政府和媒体洗脑的外国人，就更加没有用了。

现在的问题就是，中国政府不管做了什么努力和取得了什么进步，国际上都不买账。最近听说中国政府拟聘用一家国际公关公司来修补中国的国际形象，我觉得这样就很不错，连以色列政府都在做这样的事情来希望改善以色列的国际形象，我们更加需要，干嘛不呢。比如在西藏问题上面，以前只有两个主要声音，一个就是中国政府，另一个是达赖流亡政府，虽然两者的说法都不是百分之百真实的，但是西方社会却几乎全盘相信达赖...我想，这其中就有很多公关的作用在里面吧。希望政府能好好部署宣传和公关策略，让世界知道真实的西藏，知道政府在西藏做出的努力和牺牲，揭露达赖那边的谎言，当然了...自己也最好在适宜的时机正视以前的不对，总之把中国在西藏问题上的国际形象扳回来。

期待祖国在更加强大的同时，也能赢得世界同等的尊重。爱我中华，中国万岁~

I lost my peace again...

额...有点装13的在上面引用了两句刚开始读的书里面的话。因为跟我最近一直说的想的东西很相近吧，所以还是贴了上来。嗯，接着上一篇的，Interview Day后，春假最后四天，花了前面两天去了一趟华盛顿吧，然后接下来周末两天就是补充睡眠、复习考试和准备面试了。

本来好像可以写很多的华盛顿之行，貌似用所谓"很好，很快乐"形容也足够了。

What happened in the following week...took an exam? and what? I guess things have been filtered or...should I say erased?

If I must put a description on it. As I wrote in two foregoing logs, I have been a battlefield, for me and me. What I felt like to do vs. what I should do in Jesus' name which was actually just in my own conceit. Maybe neither of them were God's plan for me.

Maybe that's why God gave me another lesson, which still seems inapprehensible to me.

Here's another song I want to share, "Frey - How To Save a Life":

"And pray to God he hears you."

Speaking of praying to God, on the last day of the two weeks' log, I went to the chuch, with an exam to go on the next day...I had to ask God...

Thus, when pastor lead peole to pray, I went forward and knelt in front of the Cross. I prayed to God that I need his wisdom and guiding for me, hope he lead me to the place where I can find peace again, and give me an answer about my question. Pastor said sometimes we know God may not answer our requests immediately, we just have to keep trusting. I do.

也许是看到我最近的虔诚-_-...教会的朋友有意让我2周后受洗。这看起来像是一个huge step for me，我比较犹豫。不过按照他们的说法，接受耶稣才是最大的一个step，而洗礼只是一个形式。额...我又弄错了，尽管如此，尽管我确实take Jesus as my savior and believe in him，我对这个形式还是比较慎重。或者说，我觉得这意义很重大，我希望自己在受洗的时候，自己是一个真正的基督徒吧。而最近的状况让我觉得自己好像做的并不合格。

当天晚上正犹豫着的时候，收到一封email，其中一段话化释了我不少顾虑，原文链接如下：

http://blog.creaders.net/qianqian/user_blog_diary.php?did=19243

“亲爱的朋友,

你问怎么样才能信神, 对我来说, 这个问题就是, 怎么样才能成为一个基督徒.

其实要成为基督徒说简单也很简单的, 不是有首歌唱道:

Come just as you are...

不管你现在是怎样一个人, 怎样一种状况, 只要来到神的跟前就可以了. 我们根本不需要等自己一切都完美了才信基督, 我们也不可能完美. 正因为我们不完美, 我们才信基督. 信基督从很大的意义上讲是表示: 我们需要神的帮助.”

嗯，以上，就是之前两周了，这个周末，4.6前决定4.13到底要不要受洗吧。

忙碌混沌地过了最近两周半，忙找工作、忙project、忙考试、忙赶作业，说的好像很正经似的...其实同时也在春假疯玩了一通...一个一个deadline接踵而来，一直在折腾，最后还没啥成就感...
Besides...I've been blue.
"Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend." -- Fray - How To Save A Life
太平洋时间愚人节，赶在某公司实习编程测试deadline的最后3分钟内提交了结果，松了一口气，决定记录一下最近两周来的好玩的事情。嗯，就从Palm Sunday（3.16.2008）后开始吧。

St Patrick's Day(3.17)，最初这个节日是为了纪念St Patrick主教大人，但是现在发展成为一个绿衣绿帽狂欢节了，人们嗨皮的绿着一身游行、作乐、去爱尔兰酒吧。它主要在爱尔兰、英国、美国东北部流行。

总之，出于对绿色的喜爱，我很早就号召去参加今年的第五大道游行。于是这天大清早的，我们家仨人加上Sunny同学就兴冲冲地穿着绿色衣服赶到游行现场。不过...凛冽的寒风和低温让我们没在街上待几分钟就赶紧躲进了Apple Store，趁机尝试了一下nb哄哄的Apple Air:

诺，如上面第二张图，离开的时候，我特意把网页留在了YouTube上"Tibet WAS, IS and WILL ALWAYS BE a part of China"这个Video的页面，那两天正是西藏暴乱吵得不可开交的时候。

说到这个，游行中还正好有几次出现左图的队伍，举着"ENGLAND GET OUT OF IRELAND"(英格兰滚出爱尔兰!)的旗子。这么说的话，西藏要求独立也似乎可以理解，但是这个世界是以实力说话的，人家爱尔兰和北爱好歹也是有军队打了那么多年，藏独们却完全是遏制中国的一个恶心玩意儿，根本就没有独立的基础和实力，而且，强大的中国也不是如今被蹂躏成碎片的南斯拉夫。

想起一句话，奥运就是唐僧肉，谁都想来吃一口，今年要跳出来闹腾的不会少的，现在不就有一堆了么。本来我还心里很不爽，后来一想，被抵制过的奥运主办国貌似就美国、苏联、德国还有偶们了，多NB呀哈哈~没办法，如今世界就是对中国和中国人不爽和仇视，我们也只能接受这个事实然后好好发展自己了。(希望本文不会被和谐...)

Love our land, love our Central Kingdom!!

好了，还是来说游行吧，游行中最多的就是"Pipes and Drums"的队伍了，大概占五分之一吧，色彩斑斓的爱尔兰格子裙还有优美嘹亮的风笛是我的最爱。

这种衣服需要体型魁梧，最好还有点胖，穿着会十分神气和威风。

除了爷们儿，当然也没忘拍下美女们:

最后这张照片里面的女生很好玩，制作了这样的标语，"偶不是爱尔兰人，我来这里只是为了警察~"。所以每当警察游行队伍过路时，她们就成了最受警察叔叔喜爱的小姑娘，警察们争相跟她们拥抱、合影，哈哈。

不过你以为就只是如此的话，那就错了。最精彩的就是，这个标语是双面的，另一面只是把"POLICEMEN"改成了"FIREMEN"！所以消防队员gg们经过的时候同样也为之疯狂。其实她们有4个人，另外两个人也有这样一张标语牌，没有在照片里面。估计这4个女孩是这天被帅哥拥抱和合影最多的幸运儿了XD。

差点忘了满大街的爱尔兰国旗和绿帽儿:

...我的绿帽儿其实不是我的，而是在Disney Store的角落拿着店里的帽子偷偷拍的囧rz。没错...因为太冷，其实我们一直沿着第五大道逆着游行方向走走停停的看，隔一段时间就到一个店里取取暖再出来继续前进。比较好玩的就是这家Disney店了，除了店里琳琅满目的好东西，最搞笑的就是，我们四个跑到地下一层上洗手间的时候，一个男人在那里当coordinator。他指挥着Men进Ladies' Room，而Ladies则被要求进Men's Room！原因其实是女洗手间里面有一个男清洁员在打扫，囧...无论如何，既来之，则安之，在米国有幸使用了一次女洗手间:

除了Disney Store，我们还穿越了St Patrick大教堂，正好也叫St Patrick，应景! 这座大教堂真是很宏伟很漂亮。虽然我信基督教，却对天主教堂由衷地赞叹和喜爱。待在这样的教堂里面，HOLY的感觉油然而生，不需要用文字语言来描述。进行了短暂的祷告后我们才离开这座北美最大的天主教堂。

终于走到了游行起点处，幸运的找到一个胖乎乎的爱尔兰人拍照留念XD

PS: 我把42 St的中国领事馆记错成在5 Ave了，一直寻觅未果。结果在去地铁站的路上赫然看到对岸在纽约的领事馆...

Sleeping Day! 话说春假前我对大黄说，春假开始棒球集训！每天早上去球场训练，备战即将开始的长岛垒球赛季。结果从周六开始到这时已经是第4天了...周六去了法拉盛K歌，周日去了教堂，周一去了曼哈顿看游行，周二总应该开始训练了吧...

无奈前三天每天都早出晚归的...周二一觉睡到了下午，补充了充足的体力-0-

Interview Day! Last week, I got a call from a company in Long Island. I had been preparing for their phone interview for more than 2 weeks, thank god they finally called me. However, they made a little change. The phone interview was changed into an on-site one, which was good but also became a much bigger challenge for me. Cuz...I had never been to an on-site interview before!

I was so nervous that I stayed up all night...I started taking bath and dressing up myself since morning and they took me for like nearly 2 hours...which nearly made me miss the train.

When I got there, it was more than 1 hour earlier than the interview time. I had no choice, because I would be late if I took the next train.

This company seems awesome, their products are widely used in US Military Weapons. To name some: Tank M1A2, Fighter Planes F-15, F-16, F-35...

The interview went so-so, at least I thought so. The talk with HR lady was good while the following talk with director went not well. I prepared so much stuff, but he just asked one major question even without letting me finish it...he stopped me there and then gave me a short tour of the company. Oh, come on, I followed the Interview Skill Book from McGill Univ., which said such questions should be given that long to answer!

Anyway, I guess there are not much for me to do but praying now.

Back to that day, here comes the "BEST" part...which is why I write this day's story in English, because I don't want my parents to know...So any of you guys who see the story, keep it a secret for me from my parents OK?

Due to my staying up, I was so tired on the train back to New York. Yea right, I fell asleep. Right now I just wish I kept sleeping till arriving at destination...which would only waste me less than 1 hour for taking train from Penn Station at Manhattan to Brooklyn.

Unfortunately, I woke up. Not only that I woke up, I woke up at the "perfect timing". Guess what, when I woke up, the train just arrived at Jamaica Station, where I should get off and transfer to another train to Brooklyn. So I jumped off the train right before the train left.

After successfully transferring to the Brooklyn-bound train, I even said to myself, "Woo, that was close~"... Only 3 minutes later, I realized something was missing.

"Holy sh*t, my camera! My f**king DEAR CAMERA is on that train!!" >_<

......

......

......

Well, funniest thing is, I transferred all my photos from camera to my laptop that morning on the train to Long Island. So I left a perfect "clean" "brand new" camera for a god damned son of bitch who found my camera without turnning it in.

I called the LIRR lost-found with a slight hope. I asked what the chance is that I get my stuff back. Answered by a nice young lady, "40%". Now here we are, 2 weeks later, still nothing...

:((

So there won't be many photos from me in New York in the near future...

Take care of your stuff guys, I know of course you will...I am the only one who is “不靠谱”。

"没谱青年，勇往直前！" I like this saying cited from July.

看下面这个Video先吧:

昨天是MLB大多数球队的开赛日，新的球季正式开始了。华盛顿国民队在主场迎战费城人队，并且邀请到了总统布什来掷开赛球。

...布什同学本来应该是比较嗨皮来的吧，最后一年当总统了，也许也是最后一年当国民队球迷了。于是穿着国民队的fan sweater就兴冲冲来了，但是没想到结果让他十分扫兴...他一走上球场，全场嘘声一片，虽然他向嘘他的臣民们挥手致意，虽然他一直保持着微笑。。。但是可以看到他的表情很不爽，心情很凝重。于是走到投手丘几乎没有准备动作就直接随便扔了一个不知道高到哪儿去了的坏球，还好捕手给他面子没有"顺应民意"地漏接。之后布什同学就匆匆走人了。

Video的后三分之一可以看到布什同学2001年时候在偶们纽约洋基主场掷开赛球的光景。那个时候人民群众多么爱戴他。。。他一上场就是全场欢呼声。而他也很有兴致的认真投了一个不错的下坠球，并且落入好球区。

...看着让人唏嘘不已，于是我本来准备留言为他说两句公道话，比如"people should learn to show some respect"之类的。没想到当时就看到有人跟我说了类似的话然后被拍了，拍的人说了"repect is not given, it is earned."这么一句有哲理的话，我也不好再掺合了。

但是，本来布什同学让我对他还是有了多一份尊敬的，那就是这个video在Youtube上面浏览量飙升，牢牢霸住了Top1的位置。让我觉得美国确实很自由，政府也很大度。

不过今天下午...那个Top1的Video就被删掉了...再搜索"bush booed"之类的关键字只能搜到一些浏览量很少的Videos。所以上面我放置的Video也不是原来那个，而是一个稍微被修改过的Copy。

总之，我还是觉得小布什同学被自己国民这么嘘挺可怜的...
