To: All I want to let the chinese that are really here for support know that I am sorry for being so rude,and crass during this time. Now I do not like the CCP at all and belive in democracy for everyone. I feel angry and jaded at the world at this moment in my life because someone really close to me in my family died a few weeks ago. I have had a rough year and can be very snappy and mean at times. I do apologize and my prayers go out to all the innocents lost. I was just thinking about this last night about my family and my loss and thought I would say sorry.
845 posted on 2008年5月13日 21:24:14 by MARKUSPRIME --------------------------------------------------------- Hello，MARKUSPRIME，I feel sorry about your family.Our existence is far more tenuous than we might think.Place your hand over your chest and feel your heartbeat.That is actually your life clock ticking,and one day it will stop.That is 100 percent guaranteed,and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.Like everyone else,we will have some days that are better than others.Occasionally,everything may seem like a total disaster area.Just like the tough times we have.So let us give our prayers to all kindly people and thanks to the god for we still alive.
MARKUSPRIME,I am a Chinese,15 years old student in nanning,guangxi province.I also lost my father because the cancer in 2 years ago.I felt very sad ,very helpless but didn’t felt hopeless.Because I know my father never leave away from me.And my father taught me that ever problem has a lifespan.No problem is permanent.Storms always give way to the sun.Winter always thaws into springtime. All problem will be solved. MARKUSPRIME,In this tough time,you may not be able to control the times, but you can compose your response.You can turn your pain into protanity---or into poetry.Of cause,the choice is up to you.You may not have chosen your tough time,but you can choose how you will react to it.
Life is very like a mirror:if you smile upon it ,it smiles back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it ,you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner,but of all that come in contact with it.who shuts love out,in turn shall be shut from love.
MARKUSPRIME,I guess you have never been to china before,and you know nothing about the Chinese culture and history at all.You learn about china form the Western media. I must to say, I really don’t see any love, generosity, friendship or cooperation from the recent report of Western media and politics,except full of bias/distortion. And Most of the time, you westerns don't really realize that they are just biases - you think you're just being reasonable.
So, MARKUSPRIME,I don’t want to talk about politics,but I want to tell you about my feeling,as an ordinary Chinese.In my experience,you (American/ westerns)always believe in youselves,as you do not believe in others.You permit all things to youselves,and that which you call sin in others.So you criticize all the time.
For me, I was rich,if not meney,in sunny hours and summer days.I can go shares my beatufull time with my nearest and dearest.So,however mean my life is,I just meet it and live it;never shut it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as I am.As we know,the fault-finder will find faults even in paradise.So I love my peaceful life,poor as it is.I may perhapshave some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the window of the alms-house as brightly as from yours abode.So let me be grateful that I have suffered no intolerable wrong,no terrible woe of flesh or spirit,such as my fathers(grandfathers). Is it not much to have accomplished so large a part of the mortal journey with so much ease?
This day,I pay my attention to some guys’ words,those makes me feel confused. I don’t know why do we get so hung up on what we don’t agree on,when in fact it’s our differences that make life interesting?After all,half the world is upside down,so there’s absolutely no reason why we would all agree on everything.Even something as basic and profound as”Don’t chew with your mounth open” is not as widely accepted as you might think.
Why is it that when passions are inflamed we choose to argue and fight,when dancing the cha-cha is less injurious,far more enjoyable,and equally effective in resolving thesion?And why do we feel drawn together sometimes,yet we steadily build up defensive barriers around our innermost feelings and beliefs so we can never be truly close to anyone?
I think , we all have filters on, so we mostly see only what we want to see.So, when you finally open your eyes,you may be shocked at the obscured way you have been viewing the world to suit your own little plans.With those filters removed,you can take a closer look into yourself and others.
Finally,I want to say, MARKUSPRIME,your apologetic post make me warm.So I decide to say some words to you and to all kindly American,whom pray for the vitcims in the earthquake.THANK YOU.In the end, MARKUSPRIME,I wanna say to you,tough times never last,but tough people do.Storms always give way to the sun.Winter always thaws into springtime.Your storm will pass.Your wither will thaw.Your problem will be solved.And ours too.(I expect you and all the american in this board can see what I said)
Ah, I see that FR late night is just how I remember it.
That is how we see the Chinese, just as you have described us. Think about it.
Hello every one,I glad to meet you in here,and I must to go to school now,I’ll be back with you guys as soon as possible. god bless,and prayers for the people who suffering in the earthquake.THANHS FOR YOUR REPLY!

Are you in China right now? Did you have any trouble signing on to Free Republic?
I am traveling to China later this year. My wife and I are adopting a little girl.
Hello...
You have my sympathy and prayers on the loss of your father to cancer. God be with you and comfort and provide for you.
Yes, you are rich if you have the beauty of the earth around you and peace and joy in living and the love of family for you.
Freedom is what I long for - for all people of the world - instead of the thieves in government who seek to live in glorious riches while oppressing their own people.
Fortunately, for China, it appears much more freedom has come for its people. Freedom to worship God and His Son Jesus Christ without the government stopping that worship or putting the leaders of that worship into prison or, as in days past, of murdering Christians.
In the US, we see our freedoms being threatened by the pro-communists now “running” for the Presidency, and by the ever increasing taxes and regulations that would do away with our freedoms in this country.
As a former communist said to me once when asked if the communists would ever retake power in Russia...he said there are fools in every country.
Would you agree?

He is here because apparently he has freedom right now to post on the Internet. However, there were some people on another thread who said that recently, Fox News and a few other sites had been blocked on their end.
Perhaps their government is allowing them to post here as a show of good will, perhaps it is a test to see how it goes, or perhaps their government is unaware of them posting here at all.
Wouldn't it be better if all were able to continue posting here without restrictions from their government than for them to suddenly disappear because discussions here about the catastrophic earthquake switched rapidly over into politics.
Just a thought.
Saved for later.
“Are you in China right now? Did you have any trouble signing on to Free Republic?”
I got a funny feeling about this...
Exercise extreme caution.
