June 4 in a Campus 18 years a flash. June 4th. I was in in a Chinese high school campus where was filled with greens and fire-red phoenix flowers, and a lake as bright as a mirror. On June 5th I heard our beloved history teacher Mr. Wong was brought to police bcoz he asked a higher grade class to salute in silence for the students at Heavenly Peace Gate. But soon he was released. What a 16-y-o girl would do during this historic event? She listened to HK radio that brocasted perhaps some spiced up reports, until very deep night. She felt bloods boiling up, heart beating up. She even wanted to die for the country w/o hesitation. She exchanged info with the father who was in the govmt. Father said they were also support the petitions of anti-corruption and buildup democracy. Yet there's no enthusiastic reaction in their small city. How was the campus? No heatup discussion abt it among fellow students. No teacher talked abt it. Everything remained the same. I went to school late as usual, absent for the morning reading class. I leaned on the balcony as usual in breaktime, looking over girls/boys passing by. However, the school would never forget to educate us and resolve our puzzles. We had politics class in conference room to see the video film abt what's happening in Tian'an'men. We saw many young students, jam-packed there in front of PPL's Heros' Monument; we saw LA soldiers attacked by mobs but never fought back the hostileness. 18 years June 4. My friend who always challenges me for my 'money-driven' but 'consciousness-lacking' provoked me to write an article on a local newspaper in this regard. I didnt, so came this. |
