杜然的blog——i'm blinded by blackness

《纽约时报》上是节选，这个应该是足本

A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet
By a Slient, Silent Chinese.

When We were called the Sick man of Asia,
We were in Peril.
When We were going to be the next Superpower,
We were called The threat.
When We closed our doors,
You smuggled Drugs to our Open Markets.
When We Embraced Freed Trade,
You blamed us for Taking away your jobs.

When We were falling apart,
You marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.
When We were putting our broken pieces together again,
‘ Free Tibet’ you screamed, ‘it was an invasion!’

(Without giving back the Birth Place of Confucius, Woodrow Wilson handed us a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball)

So, We Tried Communism,
You hated us for being Communists.
So, We embraced Capitalism,
You hated us for being Capitalists.
When We had a Billion People,
you said we were destroying the planet.
When We were trying to limited our population,
you said It was a human rights abuse.


When We were Poor,
You called us dogs.
When We Loaned you cash,
You blamed us for your debts.
When We were building our industries,
You called us Polluters.
When we were selling you goods,
You blamed us for global warming.

When We bought oil,
You called that exploitation and Genocide.
When You were fighting for oil,
You called that Liberation.
When We were lost in Chaos and rampage,
You wanted to Rule us with Laws.
When We established laws and orders against Violence,
You called us Violating the Human Rights.

When We were in silent,
You said you wanted us to have the right to Free Speech. When We were silent no more,
You said we were Brainwashed Xenophobias.
When you invaded Iraq and caused millions of deaths,
It was an Operation of Freedom.
When we called One China,
You said we have no Rights.

Today, you are calling us Hans, Tibetans, Mongolians…
(there are 56 ethnic groups in China!)
100 years ago, you said ‘oh you poor CHINESE people…’

Why do you hate us so much? We asked.
‘No’, You Answered, We dont hate You.
We dont Hate You either, But Do you understand us?
‘Of course We do’, You said, ‘We have AFP, CNN and BBCs’

What do you really want from us? Think Hard first
Think History, not Media
