Relief

 

🙏 Pray for India. This new wave is horrible, a lot of people got sick and are in danger. I still remember last year this time, I was so sad because I saw in Chinese social media, so many people were cheering and celebrating the suffering around the globe. I was in distress and heartbroken, remembering how when I was in high school, the teachers and students cheered and celebrated for the dreadful event of 911 in America. We were just kids, and I was so puzzled by how much zest the teachers had, big smiles on their faces as if they saw happiness, drawing with chalks on the blackboard, describing to us how the towers went down by planes and why it was such a happy event for them and their country. I Will Never Forget That. 

Same thing for COVID, in my Chinese social media account, regularly I received comments celebrating the death toll in America and India. As how much heartbroken I was, I was still fighting, I kept reminding people we were all the same, people were just people, we should not be divided by nations, races and cultures. I was taking my heart out, telling people, please please please show some respect. No matter what nationalities we have, what skin colors we have, we are all the same, I have family in India as well as in America, I love them all. As responses, I regularly received comments cursing my whole family to get covid and disappear. 

I am definitely not saying all Chinese are like this, but I completely agree with 狗哥, if the kind-hearted (majority?) Chinese are All in Silence, either they are in fear of speaking up or their voices are suppressed so nobody can hear -- the loud voices that we can hear, are representing you all. And if those loud voices are evil, that means your country looks evil. 

What a nightmare. I am just so happy that I had tried my best and got out, so I will never have to see anything like that anymore. What a relief, fuck ya!
