在西藏再次引起世人注目的时候，今儿发两组照片，一组是广为流传的一个美国人镜头下的西藏。大概从本世纪九十年代起，随著好莱坞的电影如《Seven Years In Tibet》、发现频道（Discovery）、美国国家地理杂志以及新闻媒体的大量介绍，西藏的神奇和美丽，被许多西方人关注；西藏特殊的地理位置以及可能隐藏的巨大的自然资源，更是让西方大国虎视眈眈。西方社会既有对这个“世外桃源”的浪漫遐想，又有对这片神圣土地的别有用心。越来越多的西方人热衷于西藏，到西藏旅游或其他，从不同的视觉，解读西藏。
想起小时候爸妈说：好吃好喝供你还天天换着法子气我们，不听话。我就想：一点小事就发那么大脾气，没完没了，有的时候还动粗。我宁肯换到穷人家去。其实这跟中西教育子女方式差异很象。吃饭的时候爸妈经常夹一块肉放到我碗里，不管我爱不爱吃，就算爱吃也不领情，外国人喜欢对孩子说would you like some...就连父母要帮孩子系鞋带都要问can i help u另外社会福利机构应跟国外学定点每星期去领

To 天佑中华_我的祖国:
Last part of your comment to Steven is regarding "love China". Steven claim that he loves China. That does not mean he cannot criticize some policy or doings of Chinese government. Those are two different things. Just like you hear a lot American don't like the government, but they are patriotic. To me even if I cast a vote to a government, I still should have a right to comment or criticize this government, even before foreigners. Let alone I was not given a right to vote.
And also using "Steven" does not mean anything. I believe over 90% of Chinese immigrants here have English name. This has nothing to do with one's believe and philosophy. Nor so whether or not one uses English or Chinese to communicate. Your implication in "I don't know you still can remember Chinese words and this is the reason I use English to communicate wih you." is groundless.
As for CCTV versus BBC or CNN, let me ask our folks this question - where did you guys get to know Abu Grade prison? Katrina mishandling? Guantanamo prison? BBC and CNN, as well as all big media. They are the first one to disclose it. Is CCTV the first one to disclose SARS? Medias there are controlled by government. What else do you expect to hear from?
As Freedom and demacracy, to me it is also obvious - I can read anything. CNN and BBC distort truth? There are tons of others available. Do they all distort truth? If someday I believe all medias here distort truth, then I'd better ask myself if my brain is distorted. Unforturenately my poor fellow Chinese do not have this luxury to read medias from outside world. They are considered as dumb and not able to distinguish right and wrong.

Steven, from your Christan name, I already know something. I have been in oversea for more than ten years, I still use my Chinese name.I don't know you still can remember Chinese words and this is the reason I use English to communicate wih you.
People, especially some people already moved out of China, like to use Democracy or Freedowm these words, sounds like they don't know these words when they were in China,or they knew these words in China but were depressed too much until they are in a sign of relief when they are out of China. Then, Mr Steven, can you give me an example of how you don't have Democracy and freedom in China and how you enjoy Democracy and Freedowm in your living country? Did you ever stand in your living country's street and shouted loudly and scold the leader of the country to see how much democracy & Freedom you have compared with China?
Your questioned people on how true they have listened to real Tibetean poeple,how about you? Probably you listen to what western people say, am I right? Oh, what they say is true ! Yes, I am always searching CCTV for News, to you , that means what? Means I should stop and switch to CNN or other western media to not let my thought Brainstormed by CCTV, and get brainstormed by CNN or BBC?
I will tell my children about Tibet's History, be part of the education of Chinese History, whether Tibet belongs to Chinaor not, I will not discuss it, it is part of China's history, however, this is nothing to do with whether I support Democracy, Freedom, religious Freedom or not. These are totally two different things.
No need to ask us to wake up, if we are already outside, we have already waken up many years ago, it is not the time of waking up, it is the time to think, logically and wisely.
You claimed you love China,really? Oh, you loved a separated China. You loved a China that everything she does should get scolded by people that previously were, and even now are robbers? You loved a China that you sitting in front of your PC typing some words asking people not believe her? Come On, Steven, even if 99.9999% people believe what you said, I am the one who will say: Stopping saying you love China(Nobody will blame you if you say you don't love China), go and enjoy your Freedom and let other people have their own !!
To stevenw9: I believe Democracy is the best system in the world, but it doesn't mean it suits every country.
As you said, to free Tibet has nothing to do with most Chinese common life. Then what means a lot to them? I think a peaceful environment, earning good money and feeling secure are important. Violence are definately against those all.
If British colonists could ever have asked native Americans' opinion, we would not have to listen to a super powerful country to teach others what we should do everyday.
BTW, you are a Chinese, why don't you speak Chinese? I always feel strange and unconfortable to talk with a Chinese in English.
before I came here, I think Free Tibet is obvious, but after I've been here, I'm no longer sure if most Tibet want independent.
我只是一个普通的华人，热爱西藏，曾经在自己生命中最值得怀念的12年无数次的去过西藏，和西藏有过许多不解之缘。我至今都相信我在那里所看到和听到的是一个真实的西藏，与DLLM口中讲述的有很大的出入。在很多人眼中西藏是神圣和神秘的，可能一生都没有办法去亲自体验。真心的希望你能从这两个美国年轻人的口中和眼中能了解一个真实的西藏。

你不配中国人这个称号，你是外国人的龟孙子！Have you ever been to China and Tibet?If not do not say anything like brainwashed by Chinese government.
How shameful you are .You do not derserve 'I am a Chinese'.You probabaly wish to dye your skin and be the son of bitch of your white boss!
I lived in London for 10 years and although I agree democracy is not always bad but I still think it is better for China to be run by Communist party.It is much better and avoid backwards and forwards regarding to develop China.You can see how is Taiwan now.Imagine if China such a hugh country practice so called democracy,it would be ruined by western countries in no time. Do not be naive!
Look at what they do in Iraq .Is that what they call democracy?!
thank you for sharing. they are very beautiful and impressive. the Yanni music go very well with the picture.

可怜的中国人, 在中國大陸有言论自由吗？religious freedom? Not mentioned in Tibet. You are so brain-washed, even though you are out of China for so many years. Did you learn anything? Guess you still watch CCTV all day long. CNN may be not accurate. But there is thousands more TV stations.
What is freedom? What is respect for human beings? Guess you never learn anything. Not knowing what is right or wrong. Have any of you heard what Tibetan says? Until we hear what Tibetan freely express what they really feel from independent news resources, of course I will suspect they are mistreated, just like all those people inside China. What a pity, all 70 cable channels are the same from cctv at 8 pm news. They can never know anything different. They are brain-washed and blind-sided.
Whether Tibet belongs to China or not, will it affect your daily life? Probably not. But whether you support freedom of speech, respect for religious freedom, support for the weak, knowing what is right or wrong have everything to do with you!
Try to explain to your children because you believe Tibetan belongs to China, you support for the government to suppress their freedom of religion, speech, respect for human rights. You will be so shamed! Their little hearts know what is right or wrong!
Wake up Chinese, especially those out of China and now are enjoying freedom of speech. If you do not believe CNN, go to another news source. If you believe all those news resources from different countries, are the same from governments, for the same political reasons, you might as well go back to China to watch those 70 cable channels which show the same pictures.
I love China because I am a Chinese, but I love freedom more!
