father is a businessman. During the early period of the Cultural
Revolution, she went to study in Beijing University, admiring the Chinese
revolution and thinking that the capitalist Canadian society was corrupt.
She was in Beijing when the June 4 incident happened, in which over 300
civilians and a dozen soldiers died according to the Chinese government's
figures. Once I heard her talk to a CBC host about the incident. Talking
about the loss of lives, she cried, saying that she couldn't believe
that PLA opened fire on the people. She still remembered that all her PLA
classmates in Beijing University were great guys.
My impression from her articles appearing in the Globe and Mail is that
she does not love China as we do. She is critical of the Chinese
government on several occasions. But I'm not sure if I would go as far as
describing her as "anti-China". If she said that the students in Beijing
demonstrate because they haven't demonstrated for ten years and that they
demonstrate because they feel exciting, she misunderstood what happened
in Beijing after the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. She
misunderstood Chinese people's anger at the spilling of Chinese blood.
There are better ways of protesting than slapping someone's face. In
addition, even if one is verbally abused, one can't retaliate by
slapping. One will be charged of physical assault whether one is in
Canada or China.
One individual says Jan Wong is ugly. Well, she is not fantastically
beautiful. However, her looking is irrelevant. I'm ugly, but believe me,
I'm a good guy.
I urge fellow Chinese avoid using abusive words. Using an abusive
language reduces one's credibility. If one uses rude words, one will
have a hard time convincing others that he is a victim.
Another individual says that lawyers use abusive languages. I may
disagree. Lawyers use aggressive languages, not abusive languages.
A lawyer wants to convince a judge and jurors that he is right and that
they should be on his side. How can you win over people by using abusive
words?
Still another individual says that Jan Wong kisses the ass of a draft
dodger. First of all, whose and what body part Jan Wong kisses is
irrelevant. Secondly, if there had been more draft dodgers the Vietnam
War would have ended earlier with a smaller loss of lives. Thirdly,
perhaps her husband didn't go to fight in Vietnam because he thought it
was not right for the United States to be involved in Vietnam. He worked
in Beijing for 14 years and adopted a Chinese name. He speaks better
Mandarin than Jan Wong, who started learning Mandarin in Beijing, where
she met her future husband, a white American who spoke Pu3 Tong1 Hua4.
Jan Wong may or may not represent the view of the Globe and Mail. Even in
the Globe and Mail there are different voices. In today's Globe and Mail
one writer says that the anger in China is genuine, while in a letter a
reader suggests that people are so angry either because they are manipulated
by the government or they are naive. My understanding is that reader
is ignorant. I'll keep reading the Globe but will bear it in mind that their
reports and opinions are sometimes biased against Chinese.
Last, but certainly not the least, I was in last Sunday's demonstration
and am glad that it was reported in the Toronto Star. I wrote a protest
message to Andy Wells, who flew the Tibetan separatists' flag in front
of St. Johns' City Hall. Sometime ago, I also wrote a letter protesting
the flying of the Tibetan separatists' flag by UBC graduate student
council. That letter was published in their news letter.
I am a Chinese who love our motherland dearly. However, I suggest
sometimes we need to learn to use an appropriate and convincing language
to inform and educate Canadians, who are usually ignorant about China, so
that they may know that things may not be what they think they are.
