An overwhelming cold spell arrived in the north of the mainland at the end of the year, plunging temperatures by 16 to 18 degrees. In the Xiaocang Mountain demolition area of Beijing, the evicted families left behind are sleeping rough next to the ruins, chopping firewood to keep warm and protesting the brutality of the authorities. How did the elderly and children survive the long cold nights at more than 10 degrees below zero?
Fan Zeng, a famous painter, is also said to live in Xiaocang Mountain. Fan Zeng fled the country after June 4 and wrote a “statement of resignation from the country”, and returned to the mainland a few years later and wrote a “statement of return to the country”. If he were to write another “statement on demolition and relocation,” I wonder how he should word it.
In Dalian, an old woman living alone in a community forcibly quarantined for epidemic prevention went downstairs to her son’s house to eat because she was too hungry, but she was stopped at the intersection by government officials. The old woman, with unsteady gait and breathlessness, kept begging that she was hungry. It was heartbreaking to see such a scene.
A few days ago, news came that citizen journalist Zhang Zhan was sentenced to four years in prison. Zhang Zhan asked the judge in court, saying, “Don’t you think your conscience will tell you it’s wrong if you put me in the dock?” She added, “This is the court to judge you, not me.”
An ordinary woman, in pursuit of the truth, exposed the darkness of the world and took up the suffering inflicted on her by the times, and her moral power was enough to make a seven-foot man blush.
Zhang Zhan’s mother said, “I want to say sorry to her, since she was a child I taught her to be honest and to tell the truth, but I didn’t expect to harm her. She is just too honest, too kind, too naive, she just feels the dark side she can’t tolerate.” A mother who could not find justice blames herself so much, and there is no greater injustice in the world.
This is what happens every day in the “socialist paradise”, and it is only part of what we can hear.
The people of Hong Kong have suffered a lot this year, with the death of our brothers and sisters, the injury of many young people, and now the persecution of the regime, but even so, there is still a little distance between us and the people of China.
In the past hundred years, Hong Kong people have never suffered such bad luck, life has been embarrassed, work has been hard, but there is always peace and tea. Since the “handover”, life has slowly deteriorated. The further we are from the old Hong Kong and the closer we are to the Chinese Communist rule, the worse our life becomes.
The train of Hong Kong is speeding up, how far are we from the abyss?
