BITCH! (please excuse my language this once)



I've seen the karma theory many times lately. You can find them after every piece of news of China earthquake on most news websites (CNN, BBC, CBC...). Google it up and you will see just in case you don't believe me (why should you believe me? I am from Red China). Every time I see it I tell myself 'don't get angry, don't get angry'. By now I am not angry at all. Most of these messages come from two groups of people, Fa Lun Gong and Free-Tibet. I am sure you have met them if you ever drive by Chinese consulates anywhere in the world at any given moment. The comments usually start with 'I am Tibetan. I am sorry for the victims of the earthquake, but I can't help feeling...'. Well, these tow groups are not exactly famous of their 'scientific approach', but it is not what bothers me. It is the coldness that they are almost happy it happened. There was a five-day stand off in NYC between Fa Lun Gong people and Chinese (actually FLG people are 100% Chinese too) over if 70K Chinese deserved to die (it is over all youtube).

What they are famous of is the greatest frase in human history 'Human Rights'. It is a bit ironic to me. It kind of reminds me of the case that someone murders abortion doctors in the name of pro-life. No, it is more like people who think it is right and are happy that others are murdered because they are abortion doctors. You can say I am a brain washed Chinese and I don't know human rights. Maybe you are right. Maybe I don't understand your definition of human rights. Personally I find it very hard to believe that the people who have no respect for lives would really give a damn about human right. To me the very basic human rights is to be alive.

The video below is the reporter from Sichuan TV station reporting the death tolls of all the districts. Aba District is a Tibetan self-governed district in Sichuan (kind of like the Native reserves in Canada). By 4pm of May 17th, 2140 plus died in that district. For those who claim to care so much about Tibet and Tibetans, this is the time for you to dig deep into you pockets and help out. Even if it is just for Aba district (you can put it as the restriction on your donation), we would still be very grateful. Living Buddha, care to share some of your CIA funded PR money? Oh, another humble piece of advise, if you would like to help out like Ms. Stone mentioned in the video, it would work out better to notify us instead of her.




As you could see in the video, the reporter was trying very hard not to cry on live TV. I feel China as a nation has been going through steps of depression. First it came the shock, then disbelief, stabbing heartache, anxiety and quilt for not being able to help. Everyone was on the verge of tears everyday. People were crying and laughing every time the new death toll came out and when one more person was pulled out alive. Now people are ultra-touchy; emotion is running high, and lots of people are angry. China, please hold on. We can't let some hell bent souls make us bitter. There are still millions of homeless, thousands of orphans... It is not the time to fall apart. Go China Go!
