中國人有云, 十八年後又一條好漢。當年在天安門獻出寶貴生命的學生們, 今天已經火鳥重生, 不知國家是否走著他們理想的方向呢!?
和 多數三字頭的港澳人一樣, 自己亦參與過這個歷史事件。小弟由五月初跟大隊「圍喂威」去遊行, 到六四早上看見新聞報導, 滿腔義憤地自發性走去學校會合, 心路變化可說不少。 來美後熱誠未減, 一直有讀民主雜誌「中國之春」, 到後來看到旅美民運人士的爭拗分裂, 雜誌變成「北京之春」, 心中真的感慨萬千。 但願今天我們有更高的智慧和修養, 好把國家改進得更民主、更平等。

I was thinking about the same topic this week. I was at the 2 huge protests in HK. We also posted the news on the bulletin boards and set up banners in school. Today, I ask myself what China would be if that movement was successful. Honestly I don’t know. Would it be happy ever after with democracy in China? I doubt it. Were the Chinese citizens ready for democracy at that time? Are they ready now? Can we handle democracy? Or we just fake it? Look at Taiwan. Look at the fake eggs, soy sauce and everything in China, as well as the madness of its stock market. All these things tell us that there is something in our blood or culture that we can turn things ugly. We can be pretty selfish and short-sighted sometimes.

Alvin: yeah I think democracy needs to build on good moral standard; otherwise, bad politicians can abuse all the rules. And frankly, I think Christianity is a nice foundation for democracy.

i think everything takes time to improve and change. taiwan is a relatively young “democratic” country and comparing to the established ones is not fair. as for pollution and food safety in china, i seriously doubt that those didn’t happen in the history of the modernized countries (i think it’s the by-product in any capitalistic system in the early stage). it’s just sad that there’s no system and regulations in place in china so as to not to repeat the history of the others.

王丹現於哈佛攻讀博士, 研究歐洲民主發展的歷史, 以備將來能應用在國家上。 當年的學生領袖之中, 他才是踏實派, 實幹型, 難怪那時被封為 Most Wanted #1。
