a chinese boy have words to say to MARKUSPRIME and others

[chinaboy]

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)

Just a little word of caution about corresponding with strangers from non-free nations.

My feeling is that most of American people are kind-hearted, friendly, and very pleasant to be around with, though correct me if I was wrong, most of Americans do not know much about the rest of the world, especially the development of China and their knowledge of China is mostly negative and out-dated, and it seems a lot of them are not interested either. I was shocked to realize how many do not even know where the capital of China is, how many have asked me if we still live in bamboo houses. That is fine, it’s not their job to learn about China.

Although, in the current sentiment of anti-China and anti-Beijing Olympic, stirred up by the biased and untrue reports by some western medias and some western political leaders, it is not fine to criticize China unfairly, it is certainly not fine to spread lies about China.

And PLMerite,if you spend a bit more time and effort and try to understand the Chinese and China, then perhaps you will have another epiphany leading to ‘enlightenment’? You seem to want to start with or reference stereotypes, but would it not be better to just ignore these as much as possible, and build up your own profile of what the chinese are, now that you are there in china?

[chinaboy]

I totally understand and agree to you,I have many interests ,and I really glad to discuss with others.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

We are all types of people, with a similar mind. One of the things we have learned is that we must “thicken our skin”. That means that we must not pay heed to those who speak bad or harmfully. Their words are to be heeded as the rain on a duck’s back. It falls to the ground and wastes it’s purpose.

Americans are nationalistic, as is China. But, we are all people of this planet, and have the same end goal. We wish to live a comfortable life, surrounded by family and friends, with a rood over our head. We work hard to provide nice things for them, and ourselves.

We all share a common goal, tomorrow! Let us join our voices and minds to bring the world together, regardless of nations. We are it’s people!

We pray for China and it’s families. It is a sad time for us all.

Thank you,WVKayaker, I really appreciate your reply.
Sometimes I can’t help but to think how humanity as a whole shares so much in common, but how we are all divided by common values. People from separate continents all discovered fire to cook foord, isolated culture all have its version of bow and arrows, swords, spear, boats, language, writing...etc.

All I want to say is, “Can’t we all just get along?”

Thanks a lot,fatima,thanks for you understanding,kind-hearted and friendly.I am very glad to meet you in here.
