A Green Light for Racism

Australia just gave a green light for racism by sentencing John Caratozzolo 'the laughing assassin' 10 years for kicking a Chinese to death for fun.

21 years old John Caratozzolo is a ring leader of a group of white young Australian who habitually makes fun by torturing randomly chosen Asian targets on the Melbourne street. According to court document, on January 26, 2008, John Caratozzolo and his ring of four decided to rob an Indian of a mobile phone after an unsuccessful sexual assault to two girls on a parking lot. The ring went on street looking for an Indian, but found Dr. Zhongjun Cao, a scholar of Victoria University walking home. Caratozzolo and the ring turned to Dr. Cao, kicked him to death. The group joked and laughed in the process while Dr. Cao was dying on the ground. Later, the ring went on to find an Indian student and robbed him his mobile phone.

John Caratozzolo had been before the court on three different occasions, with 2 for violence against Asians.

The Victorian Supreme Court Justice David Harper, a white judge, sentenced John Caratozzolo, the white murder who kill Asians for fun to 10 years in prison. Justice said in court he recognized there was an element of racism involved and that Caratozzolo had been proud of being a 'laughing assassin'. Justice Harper went on and praised Caratozzolo for going through the trail with a positive attitude including smiling to the court all the time, and admitting the killing was for fun. Justice Harper noted the sentence factored in John Caratozzolo's excellent history and upfront guilty plead. With 549 days in detention already after being arrested, John Caratozzolo is expected to walk on the street to kill more Asians soon.

Reactions: An overwhelmingly white Australian population hailed the sentence, and Justice David Harper as an exemplary case of upholding the law.

The Order of Australia hailed Justice Harper 'for service to law reform, to the judiciary, and in the area of international humanitarian law, and to the community through support services for the care and resettlement of offenders and their families.'



Dr. Cao's widow Ms. Jingfang Zhou says,
"Zhongjun was a very good husband and father. We have had a very happy family. He and I worked in Henan University in China before we came to Australia. … I fell in love with him at first sight. Pretty soon, we were married in March 1990. We had our lovely daughter in 1991, when he was only 24. He loved our daughter and me very much. He worked very hard and tried to give us the best possible future. … I have had such a happy marriage and had been so spoiled by my husband that I found it difficult to understand why some couples want to separate. I thank my husband very much in my life for the love and care he gave to me and our daughter. We have been husband and wife for nearly 20 years. It seems that we just met, even better than when we were newlyweds. … Nothing harsh came from his mouth in the last 20 years. He is not just my husband. He is also my best friend and soul mate … . I have always thought of myself as one of the happiest wives in the world before the tragedy. Now I become possibly the saddest one.

"… My husband, who was so young and healthy … died in such a tragic way at the age of 41 years old. My husband called me before he left his office on that terrible night. When I saw him the next day, he lay on the bed in the hospital maintaining his life with the aid of a life support machine … One week later he became an ash in front of me. My husband disappeared suddenly from my life in this way. Can you imagine how it is like? Can you imagine how my daughter and I feel? I lost my husband when I was 42 and my daughter lost her beloved father when she was just 16 years old. I do not know who can accept such a loss. My family was destroyed totally and the pain cannot be cured in my lifetime. … My daughter and I are living in a nightmare … and can never get out of it. How much does my husband’s life deserve? How much does the happiness which my family had owned before my husband’s tragedy deserve? …

"I lost something which is more than my life. Life has become meaningless for me without my husband. I do not know how I can live a life with such a pain in my heart. Life becomes a burden and I do not know how to deal with it. … My career has also been negatively affected significantly. I used to be one of the most productive researchers in my Institute, and was offered a research position before I finished my Doctorate of Philosophy …(but) even after I finally gathered enough strength to go back to work, I found myself struggling with the work I used to enjoy so much. I could not focus on reading, and have hardly read any papers in the last one and a half years (although) reading five to 10 papers a day (was) an easy task for me before."


Dr. Cao's daughter says,
"The image of dad lying on a hospital bed is one that will haunt me for the rest of my life, looking barely recognisable with his face badly swollen, eyelids black and purple, head half shaved so that he could have his skull removed to reduce pressure from his brain and dried blood down his legs and in his ears. A million tubes of different shapes and functions were attached to him while machines beeped and flashed around him.

"Those four days at the hospital were the hardest time that I have experienced in my life and possibly will ever experience. Mum barely slept or ate at all … when we stayed in the hospital and did nothing but talk to my dad, even though he probably couldn’t hear us but we still did anyway. When the doctors told us that there really was no hope for my dad, he had only a small amount of blood flow to his brain and was only living by the aid of life support, it was just like the sky had collapsed over us. …

"Agreeing to it was the most heartbreaking and painful decision we have made. When I walked into dad’s room after the life support had been switched off and seeing him lying on the bed, at first I couldn’t believe that this was actually happening – it just looked like he was sleeping. Mum was beside herself crying, going hysterical and kissing dad on the cheek, calling his name as if he could wake up and answer her. It was so hard seeing mum like that because she was usually such a strong person."

"When I went to hold dad’s hand, the hand that looked after me and did so much for me, cooked dinner for me and mum and worked non-stop, the reality hit me hard – it felt so cold. That was when I started crying and just could not stop myself. … Dad’s death had taken away my most valued beliefs from me: my faith in the fairness of life and of God, the thought that tomorrow will always be better and the security of knowing my family would always be there to support me through everything. Those heartless murderers have not only taken away an innocent, harmless person’s life, but have (dramatically) changed my life, my mum’s life and the lives of all those who knew him. I toss and turn late at night, not able to get to sleep, thinking about how I would have felt if I was in dad’s position, beaten to death while people watched on.

"Life was just so unfair … My dad was one of the nicest, kindest and most patient people I knew; everyone (who) knows him has said that. … Not ever in my wildest nightmares I thought something like this would happen to my dad … I thought good people will get what they deserve, but I didn’t think that was so true anymore."


After the sentencing, Ms. Zhou told reporters she thanked for support from Asian society. However, she no longer felt safe in Australia. She said, 'we had thought Australia was very safe, actually it is not. People in this country do not kill people for money, for a thirsty for cruelty and blood. Once they felt unhappy, they would kill immigrants for fun without a reason. I had never realized this. Their motivation to kill is incomprehensible for other human beings.'

By all means, it's not the first time overseas Chinese were killed, for being mistaken as someone else. While the Asian community in Australia cried foul, Justice Harper apologized to the laughing assassin. Current Australian law carries a minimum 10 years prison in murdering case, he explained; on the bright side, he added, a tougher, stronger Asian hunter would be walking on the same street less than 10 years. Justice Harper is a second cousin of Judge Charles Kaufman of Wayne County Circuit Court of State of Michigan.

On the night of June 19, 1982, Chinese American Vincent Chin was having his bachelor's party, he was mistaken to be a Japanese and beaten by a group of white American auto workers. At the time, there was strong anti-Japanese sentiment in the US because of success of Japanese cars in the US market. Chin was able to get away from the initial fight at the party, and sought refuge at a nearby McDonald's restaurant. The autoworkers launched a mass man haunt, and posted a reward to Chin's whereabouts. They located Chin, and beaten him to death with a baseball bat. Two off duty policemen witnessed the beating. They later arrested Ronald Ebens at the murder scene. Judge Kaufman gave Ebens no jail time, but three years of probation and a fine of $3,000 plus $780 court fee. Judge Kaufman raised the racial factor of the defendants, in response to Asian American society's outcry, he pointed to the white murders and wrote, "you don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal".


Lily Chin, the mother of the victim asked, 'what kind of law is this? What kind of justice? This happened because my son is Chinese. If two Chinese killed a white person, they must go jail, maybe for their whole lives.. Something is wrong with this country.'

The Asian American community unsuccessfully tried to keep the fight in the Federal judicial system. In the end, all murderers of Vincent Chin were acquitted in Federal court.

Photo Questioned Defandent Substituted

With China's road condition, it's a surprise how a traffic accident attracted not only national and international media attention, but also triggered mass protests in Hanghzou and cross the country. Some attribute the public reaction as a reflection of the tension between ordinary people and those with ways and means.

The police was booed when they stated the car was traveling at 70km per hour, and later had to apologize to the public for using the driver's words without verification. Officials at the city and provincial level were scrutinized on their response. Car modification industry were all together banned. Qishima (70 km per hour in Chinese) because a new word in online as well as in serious writings. The case went to trail, and the driver was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Amazingly, the case just seen yet another new development.

The online community along with the traditional media, are questioning the authenticity of the defendant. They charge that the man appeared in court is not the man appeared in amateur videos shot at the scene of the accident. They remarked that the defendant in the court looks younger. The court issued a statement saying the defendant had been in custody of the court and he indeed is the driver who caused the accident. Skipping through the radar of everyone and media, this is the first and only one official statement regarding the authenticity of a detainee in communism China history ever since 1949. It is history being made.

Today, photos circulated on the Internet showed differences of biological traits of the two person. The photo on the left is from the court photo taken by reporters, and the photo on the right is captured from a video of the accident.

Left Ear:








Scar on right arm:










It's nothing new when a poor are paid to cover crime committed by a rich person. However, it is history being made when a communism court are forced to make the clarification, regardless whether they are telling lies or not.

Straighten Blood

Deputy Director of Beijing Red Cross Blood Center Shi Weiwei told reporters gay people and drug addicts were not allowed to donate blood because they are high risk HIV population. 'The risk is especially among male homosexuals with multiple sexual partners,' she said.

One Man's Death

The general manager of Tonghua Steel Company was beaten to death by angry workers after threatening to fire the entire workforce, 30,000 workers. Workers held on the plant until the provincial government announced Jianlong would not take over Tonghua Steel through television broadcasting.

Chen Guojun was appointed by the private Jianlong Group of Hebei Province. Jianlong's Chiar is son of General Liu Huaqing, deputy Chair of the CCP's central military committee. The CCP's Party boss is Wang Min, nephew of former president Jiang Zemin. With Wang's help, Liu was able to obtain Tonghua, a Top 500 (No. 244 overall in year 2008, No. 128 in manufacturing and No. 195 in taxation) enterprise of China with little investment. Liu rose to Top 10 richest Chinese in 2008 by obtaining state owned enterprises at little or zero cost.

None of the 9 people politico members visited Urumqi after the riot killed 197 innocent civilians, mostly ethic Chinese by Uyghurs. However, Premier Wen Jiabao immediately flew to Tonghua to examine the situation after Chen's death. A general manager with a powerful background weighs heavier than 197 civilians.

Hitachi Refused to Fix Troubling Elevator

A newly elevator installed in Building 11 in No. 1 Wanjiang of Dongguan, Guangdong made several residents hospitalized, though no one had died of it, yet.

An incomplete record of the symptoms includes:


19:20 July 7, 2009, Lost power and dropped;
17:00 July 10, 2009, Dropped from 8th floor to 7th while ascending;
14:00 July 11, 2009, Dropped from 6th floor to second while ascending;
21:30 July 13, 2009, Dropped from 9th floor to 7th while ascending;
13:25 July 15, 2009, Dropped from 7th floor to 5th while ascending;
8:50 July 21, 2009, Lost power and dropped



The Hitachi elevator, among 35 others in the community, is still within warranty. The property managing company had reported to Hitachi repeatedly, and Hitachi had revealed the surveillance camera of dropping incidences. However, Hitachi couldn't locate the cause of the problem, and refused to fix it.

Chinese consumers often complained the handling Chinese market by Japanese companies. In a high profile case, Mitsubishi refused to recall SUVs sold in China on a fuel line issue after similar mode vehicles had been recalled in Japan. Although large amount of the affected SUVs were used by the Chinese military, Mitsubishi resisted the media pressure and public outcry to issue the recall.

Union Hospital Criticized


The Peking Union Medical College Hospital (Beijing Union Hospital) was criticized for not responding to a traffic accident 300 feet away.

At 10:10 am July 23, 2009, 300 feet away from the Beijing Union Hospital, a young woman was stuck by a bus. It is on a crowded heavy traffic street right at downtown Beijing. Police came within minutes, but ambulance never came. Police followed normal traffic accident procedure, surveyed the scene, and marked the position of the victim on the ground. With concerns of the injury, the police left the woman remain laying while calling for medical assistance. In the next 40 minutes, hundreds of bystanders gathered and more police arrived at the scene. Everyone was calling for medical help, but no medical personnel ever showed up. Police and bystanders went as far as going to the Union Hospital on foot (it's not that far anyway) to ask for help.

With time passing by, a puddle of blood spread out under the woman's body. The crowded finally exploded with angry and frustration. Against police's instruction, bystanders carried the woman to the ER.

Union Hospital is one of the first modern hospitals set up in China. It is also known for the death of Liang Qichao, one of the most prominent Chinese scholars in history. Liang was suffered with kidney disease. In a time when Chinese society was wavering on whether to embrace modern technology, Liang decided to take a surgery despite most of his friends suggested traditional Chinese medicine. However, his healthy immediately got worse after the surgery. Union Hospital soon realized its doctors had removed his healthy left kidney, while kept his failed right kidney. Liang was worried on the possible reaction from the ordinary people if the fact leaked out and ordered keeping it a secret. Liang died in a few days.


The Beijing Union Hospital is part of the Qinghua University. A full length video of the incident was posted to video sharing website youku by a bystander.

UA to Suspend Beijing-Washington Route

Effective Oct 25, 2009, United Airlines will suspend its PEK-IAD route indefinitely. Tickets already booked for this route had been canceled or re-routed via Chicago.

UA 897/898 is the only route between capitals of China and the US, the two largest economies in the world. United gained the right of this route after winning a fierce competition for a route (rare resource) between the two countries. However, since its inception, Boeing 747 Jumbo jets had been replaced by smaller 777s, and daily operation had been reduced to multiple services in a week. Still the demand has been high. Tickets have been well sought after. Price of this route is higher than others (San New York City to Beijing, Francisco to Shanghai, etc.). In general, the flights have been full. The outlook from a frequent passenger's angle does not appear to be as bad as that from the UA administration. Perhaps the executives are eager to show the board they are cutting, something; Oh well, not on your own legs.

Taking Care of Your Own People

Taking care of your own people, that's the least we would ask for the leader of a free land and what President Obama did last night. Taking the opportunity of his health reform speech to the nation, President Obama told the TV audiences, "I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry. No. 2, the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And No. 3, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by police disproportionately. That’s just a fact.

To replay what had happened in the middle of the day on Thursday July 16, 2009: Harvard 'University Professor' (that's a title held by about 20 most prestigious professors of Harvard) Henry Gates came back to his home near Harvard campus after a long trip overseas. His front door was found jammed, so he enlisted help from his driver to shoulder in, an act caught sight by a lady worked down the street. The woman called police to report two individuals forcing in a house at the address.

Six police officers of the Cambridge Police were sent to check it out. The police asked the professor for his driver's license. It started as Sgt. Crowley asked for an ID, and Mr. Gates replied 'No, I will not'. Having been making a living by teaching on racial issues, Professor Gates yelled to the officer, 'this is what happened to Black men in America'. After a few back and forth, the professor produced his Harvard ID, which bears his name and title, but does not include a home address. The professor was obviously annoyed and advised the police 'you don't know who your messing with'. The police insisted on the driver's license. The professor refused and pulled out the racial card. When the police asked him to step out to clarify, the professor responded, 'I will talk to your Mama outside'. Finally the professor produced his driver's license and the police retreated. The professor chased down the police on foot to the outside and shouted racial slurs when he was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Love Paradox


Does sex change to love, after being paid?

The glowing hot topic among Chinese scholars recently is not about science, but about a scientist who had been deeply stuck in a sex adventure.

It started as a paid sex, but soon turned into a romantic relationship, which was to be interrupted by a separation by the Pacific Ocean. A wedding and a divorce (on different side) are to be followed, and now it's the hottest issue on the XYS forum frequented by Chinese scholars.

The scientist's name is Li Miao 'Mew', the woman's name is Liao Xingjun 'Yuzi'.

39 years old Mew paid 800 RMB Yuan ($100) for the first night, which 34 years old Yuzi accepted, in a morning of 2001. Mew got up and went to work, while Yuzi waited for him in the room. Mew paid another 800 RMB Yuan for the second night. On the third night, Mew suggested he would pay, but on a discount rate since the relationship was prolonged then he had expected. The relationship continued on and off for 8 years. They made love in Mew's office, hotel rooms, and bedroom (when Mew's wife was away).

Eight years later, Mew matured to be a promising candidate for the prestigious 'academician' title. Yuzi matured to a divorced middle-age lady who wanted a reasonable ending of the otherwise healthy, fairy story.

So does it matter whether you have paid (for the love)?

SinoPec Outsmarted By Chinese Netizens


SinoPec was forced to admit they bought a $2.5 million chandelier in a new office building.

In the past week, Chinese BBS and online forums were infected with posts alleging SinoPec, a state owned petroleum company, spent $30 million on a chandelier when they upgrade their office building. Yesterday, the company made a clarification statement that the chandelier only cost $2.5 million.

SinoPec is resented by almost every private driver because of their pricing on gasoline, and their claim that gasoline should be sold at the same price in China and in the US.

Steven Chu Preaches at Grandpa's Podium

Energy Secretary and Nobel laureate (Physics 1997) Steven Chu talked global climate change to faculty and students of Tianjin University on July 17, 2009.


Tianjin University is the first modern university of China, founded in 1895 by Qing Dynasty government. It was known as Peiyang University and Imperial Tientsin University.

A student Li Shutian studied entered Peiyang preparatory in 1917, and graduated from Peiyang University first of class in 1923 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Li received a PhD from Cornell University in 1926, after which he accepted a teaching position at his Alma mater. Li became the president of National Peiyang University in 1934 and held the position until the communists took over the country in 1949. Li is Steven Chu's grandfather.

Penyang's history could be extended to Tenney College established by Gustav Derting in 1887. All faculty and students of the Tenney College along its campus were absorbed when Peiyang University was approved by the emperor as the first modern university in China.

National Secret


The official notification of the police's decision to not allow the suspect meet with his lawyer, issued by the Police Bureau of Mawei District, Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian Province. Criminal case denial note No. 001 of 2009.

By Criminal Prosecuation Act, 96-2, because the slander case is related to national secret, it is decided to deny lawyer Lin Hongnan's request to meet his client the suspect Wu Huamin.


Five Chinese netizens were arrested and charged for leaking national secret after they forwarded a post which detailed a 25 years old woman was gang-raped by police of Minqing County, Fujian Province.

Yan Xiaoling was gang-raped by a group of eight people, including several cops and state prosecutors between February 10 and 11 of 2008. Her mother was shown a dead body in the county hospital on the evening of 2/11/2008. She was naked when her body was sent to the hospital. Detail description by the medical personnel showed she had not only been gang-raped, but also raped after her death.

Later, father of one of the guys admitted to a relative that his son was involved.

However, local police refused to press charge. After destroying the body, the police announced that Yan died of ectopic pregnancy for 6 months. Yan's mother questioned the conclusion because Yan had menstrual came one month ago.

Yan's mother appealed the police's conclusion and started complaining to higher authorities ever since. She posted the case to the Internet on June 23, 2009, and some netizens forwarded her post to other forums. Five people were arrested.

After waiting for 7 days, yesterday their lawyers were notified by Police Bureau of Mawei District of Fuzhou city, Fujian Province. they would not be allowed to meet their clients because the case was about national secret. Reporters are also banned from covering the case also citing national secret.

One of the lawyers, Mr. Liu Xiaoyuan of Beijing, questioned the logic of declaring the case a national secret. The netizens were charged with slander, which was regulated in the civil code. Nevertheless, they were prosecuted by the police as a criminal case.

Chinese Kids Eye Colleges in USA


A summer camp advertisement stuck on a billboard of local high school graduates admitted to top US colleges in front of the Tianjin Book Building (TJBB).

The annual national college entrance examination had been traditionally known as a single log bridge competed by tens of thousands of troops. The portrait was not an exaggeration when you consider 600,000 would be accepted by colleges out of over 8,000,000 attempted in 1989.

However, after a national policy to expand college admissions, over 4 million freshmen are admitted into college, while the total number of applications started to decline. Almost one million high school graduates did not apply for college in 2009. Some experts interpreted the decline of interest as a reflection of disappointing job market for college graduates.

On the other hand, students who applied for colleges in the US doubled. 15,000 mainland kids took SAT in Hong Kong between October 2008 and June 2009. There is no SAT test center in mainland China. Students travel to testing centers in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and as far as the US to take the test.

In major cities such as Beijing, Chongqing, up to 10-20 percent of high school graduates applied US colleges. Mr. Shen Xianzhang, deputy principle of the Rendafuzhong High school in Beijing told reporters that 43 students had been admitted by top US colleges, the majority went to Ivy League schools with full scholarship, including Harvard, Stanford and Yale. At Beijing No. 4 High School, 20 graduates went abroad for colleges in 2007. The number grew to 30 in 2008, and 50 in 2009. Another high school in Beijing, the Lab High School affiliated with Beijing Normal University sent 16 graduates to University of Toronto through a joint program.

A strong economy and a strong exchange rate against major western currencies certain help too. The total number of students studying in foreign universities and colleges increased from 144,000 in 2007 to 170,000 in 2008. The number is expected to almost double in 2009.

Stanley Nel of University of San Francisco told China Daily that "Students used to tell me that they did not have the money to go to USF, and they needed full scholarships. That is not the case now." More than 80 students from mainland China has been admitted to USF this year.

Lawyer Chained to Basketball Hoops


A Yunnan judge ordered a lawyer public humiliation. Mr. He pointed to the basketball hoops he had been chained to.

Mr. He represented a client in First Civil Court or Chengjiang County, Yuxi Metropolitan, Yunnan Province in the morning of July 10, 2009. During the court deliberation, Mr. He asked the presiding judge, Mr. Hong, what is the court's opinion as to his client's intention to add the defendant's spouse to the case filed to the court 15 days ago. Judge Hong replied, that would be not necessary, 'as I am orally notifying you now'. Later, Judge Hong asked the attorneys to sign on the transcript. Mr. He noticed the exchange about adding defendant's spouse was missing from the transcript. Mr. He refused to sign the transcript until it is corrected.

Judge Hong then ordered a deputy sheriff to lock the lawyer to a basketball hoops in public.

The lawyer, Mr. He told reporters that he had no contention to the court's power of arresting lawyers. However, it needs approval from the Chief Judge of a court according to the law. He alleged that it was unlawful to have a lawyer locked up by a judge without approval of the chief judge of a court.

Mr. Hong Jiajing, Deputy Chief Judge of Chengjiang County told the reporter that it is a common practice (the judge not following proper procedure) because they have a heavy workload. Mr. Pan Wanhong, the Chief Judge told the reporter that he did not want to comment.

Residents Took Law Into Own Hands


An old gentleman in Lanzhou took law into his own hands. On the night of July 9, 2009, armed with a pile of construction bricks, the old man threw brinks to any vehicle that ran red lights at an intersection near his neighborhood Jingangcheng.

Hundreds of local residents gathered along roadside to cheer for the brave act. A reporter from Tianjin Daily counted 8 vehicles damaged in half hour, and he saw more old men joined the act. Still many cars ignored the traffic lights. The moment a brick flying to a car, loud cheering broke out from the crowd.

The seventy years old gentleman told the reporter he had several near miss when crossing the street. Many drivers just ignore the traffic lights and the police never paid attention to his complaint.

Three hours later around 10 pm, police from the Dunhuang Road Station came to the scene and told the old man to stop.



Three days earlier eight hundred miles down south in city of Nanjing, thousands of people gathered at an busy roadside to mourn six pedestrians who were killed by a drunk driver on June 30. Among the victims was a pregnant mom, whose near full term fetus was popped out by the impact. The driver a wealthy businessman was driving a car owned by a state prosecutor. The driver fled the scene but was stopped by a taxi who witnessed the crime. When interviewed by a reporter by phone (recorded), the prosecutor said, quote, 'who cares several lives lost, nothing can't be paid with money'.

Update: a follow-up report on July 11 on the Lanzhou case said no charge had been filed by police, and no owner of damaged vehicles had approached for compensation.

Uyghua, Chinese and the Communist Party

After the ethnic cleansing against majority Han Chinese committed by the Islamic Uyghua terrorists on July 5, 2009, it is puzzled to see the Communism government made no effort to protect its majority people from being slaughtered, but rather declared everything normal.

Chinese has its cultural established thousands of years ago, most notably 2000 years ago at the beginning of Han Dynasty when Idea of Ru (represented by ideas of Confucius). Chinese culture suggest making compromise, walking the central path between left and right. Chinese cultural advocate strict social order, while children respect parents and students respect mentors. Communism, on the other hand, was imported from abroad, and replied on extreme and radical measure to achieve its goals.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is really a communist party enslaves Chinese, rather than a party of Chinese. For the CCP, the number one challenge to its survival is the Chinese people, especially the Han Chinese majority. Knowing this is the key to decipher the unfair ethnic policy adopted by the CCP while it places the Han Chinese to the bottom of social structure. Ethnic minority could get away from any crime committed towards Han Chinese, including rape and murder.

Some western journalists were shocked once they arrived the scene of the July 5 massacre. Malcolm Moore of Telegraph had to cross out his reporting (imaginary reporting, as most other western media do) of the day before. It never occured to his mind that it could the the opposite as to what they had been told by overseas Islamic Uyghur groups, and what they have belived in for life. He wrote:

Turning over the riots in my mind, I concede I was wrong in my last post to suggest that Rebiya Kadeer (the President of the Islamic World Uyghur Congress, a Washington based terrorist organization) would rise in stature as a result of the riots.

When I wrote the post, I had limited information and I jumped to the conclusion that the 156 victims of Sunday’s violence were Uighur.

In fact, it appears that the majority of the victims were Han Chinese, brutally killed by gangs of Uighurs roaming through the back streets of Urumqi. There are some horrific pictures circulating of rows of bloodied bodies and cyclists lying in puddles of blood with their heads bashed in.

Rebiya Kadeer’s claims that 400 Uighurs were killed on Sunday were dismissed by my colleagues on the ground, who have neither seen nor heard any evidence to back up her accusation.

I apologise for running ahead of the facts, but the idea that Chinese troops had been unable to prevent the Uighurs from murdering Han Chinese honestly never occurred to me.

Now that the sequence of events is clearer, I have a lot of praise for the Chinese security operation in the city. According to Peter Foster, who is on the scene, they managed to prevent escalating situations getting out of hand several times yesterday with calm and judicious policing.


He shouldn't have been surprised, had he understood that the communism government is not a Chinese government, and had never operated in the interest of majority Chinese people. Actually, if traidational Chinese cultural and value provailed, the CCP would have been eradicated from China.

Ordinary Chinese Do Not Trust Western Media



The Chinese government invited western media to cover the Urumqi massacre committed by US sponsored Muslim World Uyghur Congress (WUC) terrorists. However, ordinary Chinese are angry at western media, and have not been reluctant to hide their dislike. ABC said its reporters were booed by Chinese people at the scene. Now, let us find out why.

Look at this picture, which appears on the front pages of almost every western media, including ABC. A Muslim Uyghur old lady confronted a squad of heavily armed Chinese police. The picture resembles an iconic image of the Tian'anmen Massacre committed by the Communists Party's People's Liberation Army against protesting students who had been conducting a hunger strike on the Tian'anmen Square. We see sharp contract between an armless old lady and the fully geared up police and armed police trucks. The image shall surely make a lasting effect to remind the world the nature of the conflict days ago, that is a peaceful protest was brutally cracked down by the military.



However, according to eye witnesses there's another side of the story. The old lady was staged by the western media. The lady was instructed by the media, including ABC, as to her position, posture, and body gesture, to the details as of the color and style of her scarf. This is evident when readers see this picture on the right (viewers and readers of ABC will never be shown this picture, of course).

ABC reported they saw scores of angry non-Muslim Han Chinese on the streets with wooden poles in hand looking for revenge. What they didn't mention was that the hundreds of bodies on the streets were all Han people, many women and little children, slain by Muslim Uyghur terrorists. Many died from one cut on throat, typical Muslim style.

When ABC reported Muslim Moms and Wives got on the streets to demand releasing of their husbands and sons, they didn't mention the hundreds of non-Muslim Han Chinese who had been murdered just a couple of days ago. Many bodies are still laying on the street of Urumqi. Urumqi is not an isolated remote village. It is a provincial capital city with over 2 million residents. Many western people work and travel there on daily basis. Not even one of them saw a Muslim killed by police or non-Muslim Han people. Many of the foreigner wrote or post on the Internet their account of the sudden nondiscriminatory ethnic massacre committed by Muslim Uyghur. While, no major western media mention that, and they don't bother to interview them. Instead, they focus their camera on the Muslim Moms and wives shouting at soldiers demanding their criminal men released. What perfect picture!

The western media had been using the same headline for days: Peaceful Protest Brutally Cracked Down. Still while the WUC was asked to provide any picture of police brutality against Uyghur protesters, they could produce none. The only picture the President of the WUC showed at a press conference on July 8th, three days after the ethnic cleansing committed by the Muslim Uyghur against non-Muslim Han Chinese, was scene of another protest in Shishou of Hubei Province. 2000 miles away from Urumqi, and one year apart. While every Chinese know the picture is fake, and some pointed out immediately. The picture still appeared on major western media, with caption: photo showing Chinese military build up in Urumqi.

American media really shouldn't laugh. First of all, it's not a good time to laugh on the death of hundreds people bluntly killed by Muslim terrorist on the streets of their home city. Secondly, terrorists do migrate and spread. After they conquer China, where should they go next?

A picture tells more than 1000 words. However, it takes two pictures to tell the truth, at least that is the case with western media, such as ABC.

对待维族人就要往死里打,有不同意见的进来我给你解释

早上给家里打电话,现在乌鲁木齐全市瘫痪,各单位全部停工,只有医院等特殊单位仍然上班,接收受伤的群众!从昨天下午开始,汉族人民终于团结起来了,他们上街**,遇见维族暴徒就坚决战斗到底!因为,我们的中 央不下令,武警不敢开枪**暴徒。你们想象不到维族人是怎样屠杀汉族人的,乌鲁木齐幸福路上全部躺满了死人,维族人把汉族人从立交桥上往下推,脑浆溅了一地!维族人把学校的小孩烧死,把小姑娘衣服扒光烧死。场面无法用语言形容!维族人暴乱的事后,只要是在场的维族人,全部参与杀人事件,没有一个站在路边不动手的!
昨天维族老人和小孩**,要求释放他们被抓走的人!王乐泉还发表讲话,说有很多暴徒是无辜的。。。老百姓彻底绝望了!!!无能的 政 府 。警察在街上大喊“快跑、快回家去藏起来”。维族人还在肆无忌惮的杀人,因为维族人杀人不犯法,可以放出来!!!
各个单位、小区自己组织防暴队,手持棍棒。只要见到维族暴徒,就进行自卫!告诉大家一个好消息:昨天维族人在日月星光小区进行打砸抢杀,被汉族人堵在小区里坚决防卫,当场打死4个维族人。维族人见状四处逃窜。
昨天下午,汉族人安顿好死去的亲友,拿起木棒、刀子,去维族人的聚集地“二道桥、山西巷子”找维族人报仇。6万人自发聚集在一起,见到维族暴徒就打。就在这时,警察、武警全部开始阻拦汉族人。当我们被杀的事后,警察让我们快跑,当我们自卫的之后警察开始组织。为什么我们的 政 府 这么懦弱!
在这里,如果有人去过新疆你就能够理解,全部的维族人都是暴徒,因为只有有维族人打架,周围所有维族人都会去帮忙。7月5日,当维族人屠杀汉族人的事后,所有事发现场的维族人全部都攻击、屠杀汉族人!
这就是事实真相,汉族人现在还在围堵维族人报仇。此仇必须报,哪怕放弃自己的前程。维族人杀了我们上千人,太惨了。。。太惨了。。。为了我们的家人,我们的孩子。我们必须把维族人打怕,让他们以后再也不敢欺负汉族人。。。
我们的人死的太惨了、真的太惨了,现在通讯中断,图像传不出来,看到被屠杀的汉族人,你们也会震撼的。
就在现在汉族人全部团结起来了,维族人现在还在已游击战的方式攻击我们,这次 必须把他们彻底铲除。

Two Less One Relax

A Han people who had grown up in Xinjiang explained the policy blunder made by the government. Some sites attribute to Tianya, a Hainan based popular forum, as the original source, but the article could no longer be found at Tianya.

The author argued that the biggest misstep was a policy nicked named 'Two Less One Relax' in justice system adopted in the 1980s. The motivation of the policy is to recognize the cultural background of ethnic minorities. Among minorities, including but not limited to Uyghur, many traditionally do not see certain action, such as rape and killing a crime. For example, if the government punish a rapist, often the victim's family suffers the most. In some minority's tradition, lost human life could be compensate by goods, such as 10 sheep or 2 horses. The victim's family often does not want to press charge once they received a fair compensation. The policy mandates when handling criminals of ethnic background, the justice system should make less arrests, make less capital punishment, and relax the terms when sentencing. Although many Uyghur individuals benefit from the policy, the overall ethnic group quickly fell down, and as a result, and lost its competency to the majority group. The policy, in a sense, created more criminals within minority groups, and allow them to live within minority groups. In the end, the quality of the entire group dropped dramatically.

Although government regulation mandates certain percentage of minority people employed by any government agencies and state run enterprise. Minority employees are so well protected, that they will never be fired even if they never show up to work. Even for those minority who are willing to work, they have more legal holidays and vacations then their Han colleagues. Consequently, agencies and companies must find a way to operate without any minority employee. The intention of the regulation was to protect minorities, while in the end, the entire minority group lost motivation to make a living through hard work. Why go to work while you receive paycheck anyway? To make it worse, the minorities who had found job are the elite of their groups. With the elite group lost their dignity of make a living with their own hands, minority groups suffer as a whole.

The author argued that he/she does not believe the Uyghur's ultimate goal was to seek independence from China. Rather, the newer generation of Uyghur has been disappointed on their worsening economic status comparing to their Han neighbors. The government policies and regulations, regardless of their original intention, actually made the situation worse.

Without swift and radical change in ethnic policy, the tense relations between minority and majority Han people will worsen fast. After the massacre, Han people will be scared of the brutality demonstrated, and stop hiring Uyghur people, or doing trade with them. The economic situation of Uyghur will be further desperate. Criminals are not punished, and more criminal wannabes are growing up.

Therefore, the key to solving the problem is to abolish the 'Two Less One Relax' policy, and help Uyghur people find their dignity by earn their living.


标 题: ZZ一个兵团二代:告诉你真实的乌鲁木齐
发信站: 两全其美网 (Wed Jul 8 07:12:39 2009), 本站(lqqm.net)

org 听到乌鲁木齐发生了暴乱,心里面一直无法平静,一天都在不断的搜寻各种信息,无法静心工作。因为这里,对我的意义,和大多数人并不相同----这里曾经是我的家园。网上言论铺天盖地,有过激的,有平和的,但是我想,对于这里大多数的人来说,那都是一个遥远的地方,遥远到甚至连想象都会出现两种极端,或者认为那里的人都在住帐篷,或者认为那里和其它城市没有任何不同。没有人知道那里是什么样子,即使是有心人,也只是从网上查一些资料,然后得到一些统计数据

虽然已经有九年没有回去了,但是我仍然希望,能够以我的经历告诉大家一个真实的乌鲁木齐。

在写这篇文章前,我本来想弄一幅地图出来,结果当我打开go2map时,却只能哭笑不得,是城市弄错了或者是地图的格局变成上东下西了?但是很快发现不是,城市还是那个城市,街道还是那个走向,只是街道名却全都错了。一个公认的国内地图竟然会将国内省会城市画错到如此地步,倒可以看出,乌市确实是令大家太陌生了。

好吧,还是让我们打开google的地图吧。

听到乌鲁木齐发生了暴乱,心里面一直无法平静,一天都在不断的搜寻各种信息,无法静心工作。因为这里,对我的意义,和大多数人并不相同----这里曾经是我的家园。网上言论铺天盖地,有过激的,有平和的,但是我想,对于这里大多数的人来说,那都是一个遥远的地方,遥远到甚至连想象都会出现两种极端,或者认为那里的人都在住帐篷,或者认为那里和其它城市没有任何不同。没有人知道那里是什么样子,即使是有心人,也只是从网上查一些资料,然后得到一些统计数据

在现在的地图上,有一些地名没有标出来,但是却是乌鲁木齐的地标,

南门:就是人民路和解放南路交叉口.
北门:就是解放北路到方艺路交叉口.
大十字:就是解放北路与中山路交叉口.
小十字:就是解放北路与民主路交叉口.
大西门:中山路上和新华北路的交叉口.

找到这些方向标,你大概就能明白,乌鲁木齐的老城有多大了,这也是乌鲁木齐市的核心区,现在最繁华的地方,也都在这儿.

我想大家经过这两天,对乌鲁木齐的资料应该已经知道一些了,乌鲁木齐,现有200多万人,算是一个不大不小的城市,各项统计数据放在城市堆里都不算显眼,不过在上世纪八十年代,有一项数据却和别的城市不同,那就是城乡人口比例,城市人口的比例达到80%。这个指标现在已经不算什么了,但是在那个年代,大多数城市(即使是北京),基本上都是城市人口少于农村的。

这个80%的指标里面隐含着很多的东西。第一个,可以说明,乌鲁木齐是一个完全移民化的城市,而第二个,更重要,乌市更是一个几乎由平地生长起来的工业化的城市。只有在很短的时间,通过大量的投资,才可能造成这样悬殊的城乡人口比。

实际上,自从49年中央政府进疆之后,便开始了持续的汉人进疆活动,一开始是王震的一兵团分赴新疆各地,然后就地驻防.

不过在整个五十年代,似乎并没有大规模的移民活动,因为这个时间段来新疆的人,都基本是零散的,.我父亲的单位,有八千职工,五十年代来的很少,问起他们的经历,一般都会自称为盲流进疆.

而占单位绝对多数的职工,则是六十年代来新疆的,这个时间段,大概是63年到66年间,因为66年之后,再来新疆的人,就没有全民所有制的正式工作了(家母正好赶上这个点,于是虽然有工作,却是集体所有制,一辈子都十分郁郁)。他们几乎有着相同的经历,即入伍、复员转业、不愿意回家乡、然后就来了新疆。

而复员转业的军人,似乎来自各地的都有,但是最多的是陕西和四川,甚至到现在,老陕和川帮的斗争仍然在很多单位里反复出现。

在六十年代之后,新疆的移民就基本上停止了,不过这批人是有组织的移民,而且带有半军事化的性质。

现在,大家知道新疆有生产建设兵团,但是大多数人却不知道,当初新疆的兵团要比现在大的多。现在的兵团都是一些农场,又叫农垦兵团。而在80年代之前,新疆的大部分工业也是兵团建制的,新疆现在的很多局前身都可以追到工业兵团的某个师。可以说,新疆的汉人大都是兵团的后代。

比如父亲的单位,是建筑公司,而在80年代的很长时间,都是以工一师工*团*营**连这样的名称存在,然后才改称新疆第*建筑公司*工区*队。虽然他们自从退伍之后就没摸过枪,但是这种建制,已经说明了他们的准军事性。

当父亲们复员转业到新疆后,自然就遇到结婚问题,随之而来的就是托朋靠友,从内地介绍,而当时的政策,这种婚姻的女方,仍然是由国家分配工作,并且享受全民所有制待遇。政策的取消应该是66年或者是67年。

于是,大批的家庭就这样出现了,随之出现的是婴儿潮,这一点倒和全国同步,在64年到78年间,无数的家庭以平均4到6个孩子的速度生育着中国的人口,一举将中国人口推过10亿大关。

这批第二代,就是现在新疆汉人的主要组成部分。

对我们这些第二代而言,新疆就是家,而父母的出生地则十分遥远,虽然我们现在说起来,都会说自己是陕西人、湖北人或者四川人,但是,实际上,无论我们喜不喜欢,新疆的印迹都已经被留下了,因为一生的记忆都是从那里开始的。

前面介绍过,最早的乌鲁木齐其实很小,城外就是戈壁滩了,好在有一条河从天山流下来,叫乌鲁木齐河,经过人工修筑之后,宽阔的河滩被约束成了和平渠,而原来的河滩则被改建成了公路,如果看地图,就会看见,城市被一条道路纵贯南北,这条路就叫河滩公路。而其实城市的发展,也是沿着南北展开。现在乌鲁木齐有很多个城区,而最主要的城区还是原来那三个,天山区、沙依巴克区、新市区。所有的事情其实也发生在这三个区里。

在父辈们刚来到乌鲁木齐时,这里就是南门北门那么大的地方。自然容不下那么多单位,而各单位唯一得到的政策,就是城外的地方随便选,于是大家采用的差不多是跑马圈地的方式,划出各自的红线,然后在里面开始盖房子。从半截在土里的地窝子到土房到砖房再到楼房,即使你现在去乌鲁木齐,仍然会发现很多地名实际上是一些单位名,比如地质局、物质局、二建之类。我们一般都会称单位的住地为院子,也是那个时候留下来的。

等到我们懂事时,乌鲁木齐已经很大了,北边越过了红山,发展出很大一片新市区,南边则一直可以到雁儿窝列士陵园。而实际看来,乌鲁木齐就是一座汉人的城市。在八十年代,曾经由政府下过一个通令,所有的牌匾上必须写上维族文字处理。这大概也是成立民族自治区之后为了尊重少数民族的结果吧。不过对于小商铺而言,想让装修工翻译出那些曲里拐弯的文字,确实很麻烦,所以现在的大街上,仍然是到处都只有汉文。我在这上面,好象多次说到八十年代,想一想,这个确实是最重要的一个时间点,在此之前,新疆的汉人的感觉中,维族人几乎不存在,因为他们都很老实,也很善良。甚至以后的很长时间,我们也都在说,是汉人把他们带坏了。父辈们流传着六十年代的一些传奇故事,都是说一只钢笔换一头羊,或者一个什么小物件可以换两面袋子杏子。但是自从八十年代之后,这一切都在慢慢改变,也许,今天的悲剧确实是那时候种下的。

而在这之后,维族人在我们的心目中,逐渐变的凶恶起来。强卖现象就不说了,这是每个汉人都会遇到的。打架时成群上,不管有理没理。应该说,即使有很多抱怨,但是在九十年代之前,我们和维族人还是经常打交道的,到自由市场买牛羊肉,还有买葡萄干,还有好多土特产,都是和他们打交道。当时的说法就是,在他们那儿买东西,要就是问一下价不买,如果是讨价还价了就得买,不买的话,就可能打架。但是如果你狠一点,他们也不会怎么样。比如维族人的刀铺里,他们经常会拿着刀在你眼前比划,似乎是威胁,又似乎不是,反正好象你硬一点也就过去了。

当时,在整个乌鲁木齐市,随处可见维族人,也随处可见汉族人。就象这次出事最严重的二道桥(就是国际大巴扎),当时,初中的我们,也是成群结队地过去玩。

但是,当我2000年回去探亲时,发现一切都发生了很大的变化。当时闲着无事,就决定去我最熟悉的路上去走走。由二道桥,经解放路到南门,曾经是我们最常走的地方。然而这么长的一段路,竟然发现全是维族人,而很少见到汉人了,所有的店铺都是维族的,甚至连招牌都有很多只是维文。可以说我是在一种恐惧中走完这一段路的。而当我走到南门之后,再往前走,就出现了大片的汉人区。一街之隔,对比之明显,让人触目惊心。其实所谓民族的融合,说到底就是双方自由往来,那怕相互之间有矛盾都不要紧。而最差的情况,就是双方各自聚居,老死不相往来。而乌鲁木齐,经过多年所谓的民族团结局面之后,反而真正的形成了双方民族各自收缩,集中聚居的现象。

说了这么多乌鲁木齐的历史,还是让我们回到google地图,看一看乌市现在的局面是什么样子。

乌鲁木齐的道路中,最明显的一条,是外环路,大家找到外环路的南段,这是一条东西向的路,然后再找河滩路(南路)。以外环路和河滩南路的交叉点为中心,放大地图。然后,就可以看见更细致一些的布局,东面的第一条路,是新华南路,再往东,是解放南路,再往东,是外环路(东段)。再向北,找到人民路。维族人的主要聚居区,实际上就在新华南路、外环路(南段)、外环路(东段)、人民路这四条路的范围内,而解放南路,则是其核心区,如果你看了新闻报道,就会发现,所有出事的地点,也都是以这个范围向外扩展的。

解放南路,由外环线到人民路,是很长的一段,前面说了,解放南路上已经看不到汉族人了,但是不幸的是,很多辆公交线路还是会经过这里,更不幸的是,当时正应该是下班时间。我很难想象出当时的惨境,那些能够躲到武警队伍里的,是幸运者,或者说,在解放南路上的,恐怕还多数是幸运儿,而那些在小街巷中行走的人们(这个圈的外沿,仍然住着很多汉人),才是真正的受害者,当暴徒们向他们涌来时,也许他们已经有了本能的警惕和畏惧(这种本能是几十年生活的经验),但是当英吉莎小刀划破他们的喉咙时,他们会想到什么?也许,这就是命吧。

暴乱发生之后,就不断打电话给那边的人,很多人都不知道发生了什么事儿,因为包括我们大多数人,都没有想到会死这么多人。这边炸两个车,杀一两个人是常事儿,但是聚众游行发生骚乱,好象还是自八十年代最后那一年之后的头一次。

那一年的事,其实不用说了,内地闹的更凶,新疆自然也一样。大家都在人民广场示威,不过,当学生们发现,竟然有几千维人也来凑热闹时,就知道势头不对,不能和他们搅和,立即撤回学校去了。而果不其然,没多久,维人们就忍不住本性,冲进了市政府,将所有的东西砸了个稀烂,也由此开始了这里长期的动荡过程。

ZXB说,这次行动是由境外组织策划的暴力活动,这个结论真的不太对。要知道,在现今的世界局势下,想通过针对平民的暴力来促成地区的独立,不但达不到结果,反而只会起反作用,让那些支持者们都无法再支持。科比娅老奶奶,毕竟还是个上等人,大概确实只是想让新疆的维人们,站出来,表明一下态度,起码不能对内地的那件事毫无反应,因为这也不附和维族人的生活方式。但是,要说,科比亚就是要让维人去杀汉人去把乌鲁木齐砸烂,这个就是十分的错误了。因为,在我看来,这短暂示威之后的不受控制的暴行,恰恰是街头维人的本性暴露,因为,由古至今,他们还从未有过不把和平示威变成一场暴行的先例。

暴力之所以发生,就是因为其有不可避免性,还因为,其实这样的暴力活动每天都在发生,只是分散的,而7.5日,则是集中的。街头几个维人将一个汉人打的死去活来,然后拍拍屁股走人的事儿,从八十年代就开始了,从开始的义愤到现在的麻木,都已经成为新疆的一大常态。这也是我们举家东迁的重要原因。看来我们走对了,因为这一次,我们终于可以不担心家里人的安全了。

前面说过,所有的改变都开始于八十年代。对少数民族的倾斜政策,是全面的,从工作职位安排,到高考加分,再到底层的“少抓少杀从宽处理”。其实这些政策,对于个体的有利,却造成了对民族整体的全面侵害。尤其是“二少一宽”,要知道,每个民族都有败类,对这些败类的清除是本民族的一种优胜劣汰。而如果针对民族之间搞什么不平等的话,受益的是坏蛋,而受损害的整个民族。在河里的争论中,无数的人为民族倾斜政策鸣不平,说这对于汉民族是不公平的。但是,如果你去新疆看看,就知道,这些优惠政策是如果在多年之后,使得维人作为一个族群彻底地丧失了社会能力的。

到新疆,有一个现象很有意思。那就是汉族的节日,比如春节、中秋什么的,维人也会放假,而维人的节日,比如古尔邦节(汉人放一天)、肉孜节,维人放假,汉人不放假。大家都会说,这真他妈不公平,但是仔细想一下,才会发现这里面竟有一个惊人的秘密。因为这个现象说明,即使维人放假了,汉人依然可以继续工作。也就是说,在新疆,一切活动都可以不依赖维人的参与而正常进行。

而再实地的考察一下,你就会发现,所有的工矿企业,领导层中,都会有一个少数民族。这个指标是定的。但是,也只会有这么一个少数民族。这个人其实处于十分尴尬的局面。那时我曾经在炼油厂工作,在基层员工中,几乎很少有维人,即使有,也是十分熟练的汉语,而那个维人的厂长助理,在讲话时坚持用维语,可想而知,他能在厂子里获得多少威信。

在乌鲁木齐、克拉玛义、奎屯,只要有工矿企业的地方,就是汉族占到80%以上。而更有意思的是,主要的岗位都是汉人占据,在几乎所有的企业里,维人都是很特殊的,他们可以不请假就不来上班,而且不扣工资。因为大家都是觉得有他不多,无他不少。而这些维人,其实都是维人中最出色的人,他们都是经过大学出来的。

实际上,正是这种所谓的优惠,造就了现在这种个体上占优,而整体反而被排挤的现象。我觉得这种优惠政策在很多国家似乎都造成了反作用,就比如法国对于解雇劳工的约束。优惠政策实际上将一个群体的弱势给突现出来,让主体社会见到这个群体,就会想到他们的问题,而不是作为个体区别对待。在新疆也是一样,企业招工,是需要考虑民族,但是所有的企业都会以这个政策作为上限,多一分优惠也不加上去。比如企业,15%必须是少民,那就是15%,养着他们就行了。其实如果是计划经济,这样还会有成效。问题现在国家是以私营企业为主了,私营企业绝不会管政府的这些规定的,除非是政府给好处。就象这次的韶关事件之后,我想就再没有企业敢去新疆招工了。人家是来赚钱的,不是来给自己找麻烦的。

维人的传统是农业和商业。但是正是因为“二少一宽”,造就了汉人对于维人强卖的印象,而这种印象造成汉人根本就不和维人做生意。而工业的发展,也严重压缩了维人的商业活动,维人的商业,主要是土特产、手工艺品。但是1998年,我回家时注意到一个奇怪的现象,原来遍布大街小巷的土产批发店,几乎没有了,改换后的门面,基本是买工业品的。仔细一想也是,一店的葡萄干能顶的上几筒油漆的利润。自此之后,维人的商业活动逐渐集中在自由市场中,并且越来越集中在那么有限的几种商品上。

在新疆的大西门批发市场,还有上次着火的国贸城中,还有整个火车站附近的几大批发市场里,内地来的商贩们,最早以一个床位一个床位的方式批发零售各种服装、小手工品,现在大的已经开了店面。可以说,这是个纯汉族的领地,汉人的第二代们,其实也没有铁饭碗可端了,但是大家从这里批发东西,然后开各种店面去卖,新疆各地的商人,也到这里拿货。这是一个完全越过当地经济结构的商业网络。但是背靠这一经济网络,你可以想象汉人将比维人拥有多大的优势竞争力。

随着旧城改造的进行,很多古旧的商街被改造成精美的店面。但是这种改造,可以想象中,也意味着维人商业的进一步退缩。在当时我们住的地方旁边,有一家很小的凉皮店,那曾经是大十字最兴盛的店面,每天买凉皮的人排着队。但是随着大十字的改造,这家店不得不搬到现在这个称不上商业街的地方,惨淡经营。也许,咱们可以说,全国的城市改造,都造成这种结果。但是在乌市,维人看到的,大概只是维人的店铺不断减少,而汉人的店铺不断增加。

法之所以为恶,在于其导人向恶。

任何一个民族都有暴虐的人,也有善良的人。但是中国有一句老话,“仓廪足而知礼仪”。我不知道,在这一拨经济改革的大潮中,维人到底有多少失业,但是从市面上那么多只有汉字没有维文的店面,就可以知道,维人们受到的冲击会更大。而这种冲击,将大批的青年维人推向街头。所以,如果你说维人比汉人暴虐,这肯定是对的。因为对于一个整体民族来说,其实决定这个民族特征的,不是某一个人的极端特征,而是具有共同特征的人的比例。一个拥有更多街头少年的民族,自然远比一个大多数在为挣钱和学习而忙碌的民族显得凶狠的多。

应该说,给少数民族加分,给企业设定招工比例,这些都是对事实上的经济不平等的一种补偿。无论这些政策有多少反对声,基于国家考虑,我们都是应该给予的。看看现在的世界,美国白人在说黑人和墨西哥人,法国人在说北非移民,德国人在说土耳其人。都是说国家给了他们太多的优惠,但是,我们看到的,还是这些受照顾人群绝对的贫困,似乎除了在街头争斗中之外,他们百事无成。

而且,这些优惠其实真改变不了什么。民考民根本就与汉人无关,而民考汉,对于一个不同种族的考生,对于一个语言不通却希望融入的考生来说,这根本就是一种鼓励(当然对于那些把自己民族改成少民的人,也不知道拿他们怎么办,毕竟,连孔子都说了,人而无信,不知其可),而且,即使最终,我也看不出,他们会占什么优势。不够分数的人,都会先去民族学院上一年,那里,本来也不是我们要去的地方。而在内地的各大院校里,那些民考汉的学生更是少之又少。抱团打架虽然不对,但是并不限于维族学生,前几天,我的同事一样在宣扬他们海南人在学校的同样的壮举。

最新看《新宋》,说其实自古以来,对归化的少民历来都没什么好办法,一种如汉唐,奉而养之,一种如晋,视如奴婢,不过好象就是晋的政策,才造就了那么多民族仇恨,才会有那么华丽丽的血时代。何况如果真把中国历史看一遍的话,其实汉唐那些归顺的番人,反而是国家政权最忠诚的保卫者,无论是金日蝉还是阿史那社尔。既然我们不想去学当后清,那么也就不要想着去屠族这种事情,始作俑者,其无后乎。

真正应该反对的,是“二少一宽”的政策,因为这是彻彻底底的恶法。人之所以从万物中脱离出来,就是因为“劳心者制人”,即智力决定了一个人的地位。所以,人类所有的法律,都是在抑制强个体对弱个体的侵害。可以说,任何的与此相背的法律,都会是恶法。

前天理发时,和理发师聊起现在的年轻人,他说,现在的小孩了不得,不是比谁学习好,而是比谁进去的次数多。我说,这其实只是不同群体的不同标准罢了,街头少年自然有与学校少年不同的标准,军队还以谁杀的人多为标准呢。那些优惠政策虽然很让汉人不平,但却是针对学校少年的。而“二少一宽”政策则是来纵容街头犯罪的,我不知道这一政策出于什么考虑,甚至这都不符合西方的原则,因为在当年看过一片文章,那个亿万富翁的纽约市长(或州长),上台之后大力宣扬的就是“零容忍”政策,认为街头实际上就是“破窗子”法则,如果有一扇玻璃破了,没有补,自然就会有第二扇。

当经济改革政策将更多的维人赶向街头时,“二少一宽”政策却又在为这些维人的犯罪开绿灯。打个人没事,捅个人也没事,杀个汉人也没事。其实又有多少罪犯天生邪恶,广州的那些“背包党”以前不也是走投无路的农民工。每个城市街头的罪犯,不管是汉人还是维人,说白了,都是政府的失职造成,如果他们的第一次犯罪的想法,能被法律吓住,而没有实施,也许根本就不会有后面的这许多事情。冥冥之中,似乎自有天意,一次事件,竟然将最南的省和最西的省联系到一起,而这两个省,最大的相同,就是他们拥有相同多的治安事件。

其实,人思维中一个最大的误区,就是喜欢将群体中的一个代表的光荣看成自己的荣耀。比如看着姚明球打得好,个长得高,自己也觉得好象长进了不少。其实你1.67的个,即使姚明长的再高,打得再好,和你有什么关系。但是,即使想到这一层,下次当姚明得了什么荣誉,我还是会觉得特别高兴,所以我是姚蜜,并且不喜欢天涯杂谈。这种思维,叫群体无意识也罢,叫从众心理也罢,反正在很多人的思维中都存在。然后对于社会性而言,有一条理论,叫存在就是真理。既然所有的人都这么想,那么至于真象是什么样子,那就不重要了。

乌鲁木齐的暴乱就是这样的,ZXB说的对,确实是一小撮,3000暴徒,如何能代表800万维人,要知道,任何一个民族,特别是农耕民族,能够举刀杀人的都是极少数(所以即使战争时期多的也是炮灰而不是英雄)。但是,没有人会这么看,就象我们见了姚明得好处我们也瞎高兴一样,我们见了这些维人杀汉人,就会把帐算到所有的维人头上。甚至即使我自己对我说,维人大部分是好的,但是下次再见到维人,我还是会由心底里生气。我想,新疆的汉人肯定会是这样的想法,而且新疆的维人感觉到这种想法之后只能会和汉人更远离,即使那些想亲近的也不会,因为人都有尊严。为什么兵强马壮的南黎巴嫩军在以色列撤离之后连一天都挺不住,这是因为他们根本就没有尊严,这样的人也被我们称为汉奸。

所以,这一场的暴乱无论对汉还是维都是一个悲剧。其实维族的独立意识根本就不怎么强,因为历史上他们也重未建立过一个国家。我们经常说库尔德人的悲剧,拥有5000万人口的民族却没有自己的国家,而维族也差不多。所谓民族独立意识的增强,是二战之后美国体制下的产物,大家有没有发现,二战之后小国家越来越多,而且大的国家还有往小里拆的想法。甚至出现了独立的另外一种潮流,就是发达地区希望独立出来,不和那些穷哥们一起过(比如意大利北部)。在新的世界格局中,领土完整成了神圣不可侵犯的,这其实造就了几千年来的大变局,弱小民族不再需要托庇于强势民族,也能够生存,而且小国家更易生存,起码对于上层领导者来说,做一个国家元首肯定比做一个省长强。可以说当今世界的很多分离意识都与此有关。

但是对于普通老百姓,生活还是第一位的。宣传很重要,如果你的周围全是说独立好,汉人拿了我们的地,拿走我们的油,拿走我们的棉花(这些也全有事实依据),你发现自己现在没有工作,只能在街头混,那么我想,只要是有思想的人,都会生出悲愤之情的。而乌鲁木齐的解放南路,恐怕充满的就是这样的声音。那儿买的书我都不认识,但那种情绪能够感受到,我能看到的就是那儿新修了很多寺,但是整条街的建筑,几乎还都是以前的老样子。有人问,那儿难道没有警察,说实在话,真没有看到,问题是,你在汉人的城市里,走过三个街区,又能看到几个警察。

族群的形象是对外的,在一个族群里,一样会分出无数个小群体。我们前面已经说了,每一个族群都有街头少年,也有学校少年。汉族的街头少年比之维族,其凶恶程度一点也不差。问题就在于,如果这个社会,将族群看淡,那么整个社会,先分出来的就是街头少年和学校少年。而不论行为,先看族群,那么我们知道的就是,某族人在杀人,而最终的后果,只能是族群分裂。现在的新疆,恶果已经结成了,可是那些肉食者们,仍然将头扎在沙子里,喊着什么安定团结来之不易。

暴乱就是暴乱,暴乱就有暴乱的解决方式。以霹雳手段,行菩萨心肠。韶关的领头者要杀,而乌市的暴乱中所有的杀人者,也一样要杀。只有这样,才能将族群的概念淡化掉。法律面前,人人平等,这才是将天平摆回来的根本做法。问题是,有司们,能做到吗?

前面,我曾经发了一篇聊斋上的小文《盗户》,现摘给大家看看。“顺治间,滕、峰之区,十人而七盗,官不敢捕。后受抚,邑宰别之为‘盗户’。凡值与良民争,则曲意左袒之,盖恐其复叛也。后讼者辄冒称盗户,而怨家则力攻其伪。每两造具陈,曲直且置不辨,而先以盗之真伪,反复相苦,烦有司稽籍焉。适官署多狐,宰有女为所惑,聘术士来,符捉入瓶,将炽以火。狐在瓶内大呼曰:‘我盗户也!’闻者无不匿笑。”

将这个盗户,改名维人,是不是就是现在的状况。“二少一宽”的政策错了,纠正是必须的,但是以后呢?多一事不如少一事的庸官做法能变吗?其实何止是民族矛盾,我们的葫芦官们,又判了多少葫芦案子,远的不少,最近福建的那个医闹的案子,不也是这样。

“天下之患,最不可为者,名为治平无事,而其实有不测之忧。坐观其变,而不为之所,则恐至於不可救;起而强为之,则天下狃於治平之安而不吾信。惟仁人君子豪杰之士,为能出身为天下犯大难,以求成大功;此固非勉强期月之间,而苟以求名之所能也”。

上文是摘自《晁错论》,其实我们的国家,无论成立时间还是发展,都已经到了汉景唐玄的那个时代,第一代打天下的老人已经谢世,而下一代承平日久,见血光不知所往。二战的老兵们,共同的特点,就是不好战,也不怕战,因为他们知道战争是怎么回事,也知道在何时运用,知道生命珍贵,不是韭菜,但是更知道,要想获得持久的和平,有些人的头,就是必须要拿来示众的

其实上一代人已经将那些血腥的事情做了,给我们打下了坚实的基础,要我们做的,就是将那些公平的政策执行下去。“所有的族群一律平等”,同时尊重少数民族的各项权利。而最重要的是,国家更应该知道,沉默的大多数是什么人,哪些人,才是我们这个统一的多民族国家的柱石。

The Root of Ethnic Problems in China

A rough translation of the article attached:

The root of the ethnic problems in China is the ethic policy adopted by the CCP.

1) Han people moved away from minority region because of the reverse discriminative policies. For example, children of Han will have to score 20 plus points (on 100 points) to compete with minority kids in college entrance exam.

2) In Mao time, many Han professionals were assigned to minority regions to assist local development. Now they are moving away when the Party can no longer control people's residence.

3) While professional fleeing away, local economy take the price. Nobody will invest in minority region.

4) Local companies dare not hire minority people, because they could walk away from any crime. Thus minorities suffers deeper economic gap comparing to local Han people. Han people are subject to the strict one child per family family planning project, while minority families are not. For an example, the president of the terrorist group behind this massacre, Ms. Rebiya Kadeer, has laid 11 children. While Ms. Rebiya Kadeer is a wealthy businesswomen, many ordinary minority family couldn't offer adequate support for their many children who would end up criminals on the street.

Neither the majority Han nor the minority Uyghur is happy. When there is a third force, such as the CIA got involved, the situation naturally exploded.

A good ethnic policy should protect fundamental rights of all people. A bias towards minority in terms of income, taxing, welfare is acceptable. However, it should extend to basic fairness regarding fundamental human rights. Minority should not be held above the law.

大家都知道根本上是少数民族政策惹得祸。

1 少数民族政策让有能力的汉人逃出少数民族区。原因就是反向歧视。俺妈当年就从民族区连搬三次家回到老家省份。愿意就是不想让自己的孩子在少数民族区里长大,原话是-中考高考一加就加20分,那一分就差出一级的学校。我孩子又不傻,凭什么非要比人差。我这十几年被少数民族区耽误了,我孩子决不能耽误。

2 汉人在由国家政策安排时,不得不进少数民族区支援边区,受反向歧视。这也就是为什么改革开放之前,新疆西藏内蒙等自治区经济文化和中国其他地方比差不多,有的因为国家政策还好些。80年以后,随着中国人迁移的自由增加,人才,尤其是当年的援边的高级人才,源源不断地流回内地,主要原因就是因为民族政策。当一个国家自由度增高,政策的召唤已经不管用了。趋利避害,是人之常情。

3 随着技术性和商业性的人才溜走,民族区的经济自然就无法和沿海以及内地相比。由于有民族政策的反向歧视,政府的招商引资也不会有太大效果,毕竟干企业没有人不行。

4 民族区的经济和内地差距的增大,反过来让少数民族认为汉人故意让少数民族没饭吃,没钱挣,再加上民族政策造成的一些维,藏坏分子对于汉人欺压的有恃无恐,更造成了即使在新疆本地,大国有企业和事业单位不敢招本地人。结果就是,少数民族区相对于内陆沿海的落后,区内少数民族相对于汉人的经济地位低下。长此以往,维,藏对汉,以及汉对维,藏的积怨造成了民族对立。再加上CIA在背后放火。干柴烈火,一点就着。

说到根上,民族政策是罪魁祸首。在整个社会国家逐渐更加自由的时候,任何歧视性的国家性政策的结果就是造成社会对立。中国人现在不是社会主义,共产主义理想就可以说服的了。当年共产主义时代的民族政策在现在的利益社会里,必须要改变,以达到对“中国人”的公平。对少数民族的优惠,可以在税收,社保和居住等日常生活利益上体现,但绝不应该在攸关人的生存权,发展权和社会公平性上。否则就是赤裸裸的歧视和有组织性的压迫,哪里有压迫,哪里就有反抗。中国如果不借此机会改变不公正的政策,最终结果不是维,藏大爆发,就是汉人大爆发。

People Die, Who Cares?

All people die, who cares?

159 people died on July 5, 2009 in Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang, a western province of China. All of them a innocent civilian Chinese. Many are women. Some are kids, two years old toddlers. They were killed with stones and knifes. Pictures shown many were cut at throat, including 2 years old little girl.

People live in Urumqi say the real death toll is much higher. Most people were killed in back streets. It's an organized ethnic cleansing carried by Muslim Uyghur against Han people.

The headline news on Chinese media are TV show supergirl and the funeral of Michael Jackson.

The Top Party leader, 'core' Mr. Hu Jintao was visiting Italy. He is still in Rome as of today. The top executive officer, Premier Mr. Wen Jiabao was having meal with miners down underground. It's very important to advocate industrial safety. Among the nine members of the standing committee of politburo of CCP, none of them have said a single word on the massacre. No one, not a word.

Instead of protecting innocent people and restoring order, the Party invited foreign reporters to find out the 'truth'. The Party felt they had been wronged by the western media because they were not evil forces to crack down riot by brutality. We understand The World Uyghur Congress (WUC), a terrorist group based in and backed by the United States is behind the riot. We understand China does not want to challenge US at all cost. We still blame the communist government because to protect its people is the first and foremost duty of any government. The moment the government, or the top officials of the government do not have the ball to stand up against the brutal massacre against its people on its own territory, the government lost its legitimacy to exist.

They are, they are the evil force. They are responsible for the death of hundreds of innocent people because they did not prevent and did not protect. The families and friends of the victims care. We care. Yes, we do.

Computer Tune-Up Before Travelling to China

There is almost nothing you can't buy in China, except freedom.

One factor of the freedom is freedom to acquire information from the Internet. Depends on which gateway your ISP uses, you may experience different level of quarantine from the rest of the world. Some luxury hotels are allowed generous access to news sites such as CNN or NBC; while most residential customers are blocked to almost everything even remotely related to 'news'. Youtube, for example, has been blocked for months. Surprisingly, the most isolated browsers are found within ivy towers. Universities in China are connected by a so called 'Education Net'. Faculty and students alike will need to pay extra to pass a gateway of the Education Net to gain access to the Internet. However, even so, a much broader list of blocked sites are checked at the gateway of the Education Net. Many of the sites blocked by the Education Net are legitimate and dedicated for education purpose. For example, Conference Hub, a journal review site was blocked by the Education site, for no obvious reason. Also, HPC Wire, a long time news service in High Performance Computing, is also blocked by the Education Net, but not by regular residential services. It could either be the result of tighter control on college students, or a reflection of self-censor conducted by education officials.

Fortunately it is not difficult to make a break, and most Chinese students know how to do this. For foreign travelers, the key is to make preparation 'before' you enter China.

First of all, there are (at least) two levels of control over the Internet: Blocking (by a list) and Active Filtering (on dynamic contents). Websites such as YouTube, WordPress, SNS, Yahoo (Taiwan), Plurk, Blogger (including this blog) are blocked by a frequently updated list. From time to time, sites such as Google, wikipedia, New York Times are also placed on the list when necessary. Last week, the CCTV aired an interview with a college student who claimed to be a victim of Google. The student told the reporter a story of his roommate searched pornography stories on Google and masterbate in the dorm. Subsequently, Google China was suspended for a few days. Google agreed to cut regular 'Google' service to Chinese residents, and only provide an 'improved' service to China with dedicated servers located inside Chinese boarder (so that they could be closely monitored by the police).

In addition, any pages containing sensitive words are denied by the Great Fire Wall (part of the Golden Shield project). The Golden Shield works in both ways across gateways between mainland China and the rest of the world. When a user trying to access pages containing sensitive words across the boarder, the connection will be reset for a very short time with minimal impact of other functions. The technique is developped jointly Cisco on contract with the Chinese authorities.

It is not that Chinese Internet users had not put up a fight. April 2007, Shanghai resident Mr. Du Dongjin sued the China Telecom on terms of contraction violation for blocking realcix.com (why?). He lost in two courts. June 2008, Beijing resident Mr. Liu Xiaoyuan sued Suho for blocking his personal blog, the court refused to register the case.

For the rest of us, the most easy and straight forward way of breaking the blockage is by using tor, an application which can divert your traffic through a network of volunteer nodes (proxy). However, the Golden Shield monitors and blocks any reference to 'tor'. The official Tor Project site is blocked. Therefor, you are almost desperate once you get in China unprepared. So the key is to be prepared before you go.

For Windows user, you can download a 'tor' bundled with a browser on your USB drive. It's a portable 'green' application, which does not need to be installed to start.

For UNIX/Linux user, it's a little tricky. You need to install the required service components: tor/privoxy/squid. You also need to edit a few lines in the configuration file of privoxy. For most modern distrubutions, you can install them pre-compiled with system installation tools. A step-by-step instruction can be found here. Fortunately, this page is not blocked, yet.

An 8th grade student in Beijing Zheng Jiehan 'doggie' made a PowerPoint presentation on the Internet censorship in China.

Your Adopted Girl is Not an Orphan

Your adopted girl may not be an infant, as you had been told by officials of Chinese authorities. Guangzhou based South Metropolitan News exposed government made profit by selling girls to foreigners at $3,000 each. Some baby girls were taken from their family to be placed in government-own orphanages. Foreigners waiting to adoption were told they would be adopting an orphan.

In Zhuenyuan County of Guizhou Province, more than 300 infant girls were sold by the government this way. An investigation was followed, and one local official received a warning sanction within the Party while five others were verbally reprimanded.

Green Dam May Not Result of Pure Political Intention

While the world cheering for the delay in mandatory deployment of the 'Green Dam', a government issued filter software, the positive development of the case might not be as significant as perceived by many.

A fast replay of the event: the Ministry of Information of China announced that all PC sold in China after July 1st 2009 must have a special filter software 'Green Dam' pre-installed to fight inappropriate contents online. The measure was booed by not only ordinary Chinese netizens, but virtually everyone with a voice, including traditional media. Today, the government announced that the installation would be delayed for technical and logistical reasons until further notice.

While the world is cheering for a victory of ordinary people, the incident should not be over-read into a symbol of any willingness of relaxing the regulation of the Internet in China.

Actually there is another angle to examine the tip of this iceberg, that the CCP is so corrupted that 1) a few low level officials dare to make a small fortune at the cost of the entire ruling class, and 2) the ruling class had to endorse the obvious greedy mistake made by a few crazy low level officials.

The Seagull never doubts the CCP's intention and determination to block the Internet or any media (radio, TV, newspaper, etc.). However, this 'Green Dam' thing looks apparently initiated by a few people associated with the firm who produced the 'green dam'. Likely, Google had been blocked for quite a few times, all thanks to its competitor 'Baidu'.
