Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Today, we gather here from different places, full of emotion and compassion. We come here to memorize the 19 innocent victims killed during Lhasa riot. We come here to protest against the Media and politicians who can turn black into white. We come here united to support our motherland and Chinese people who are struggling forward alone for a dream of century old. We come here to answer the calling upon us by history and by the world. Because of our unique status and experience, we love both China and America. In between the huge cultural difference between the east and the west, we can appreciate both of them. We are not politicians, but we are the natural missionaries and bridges for peace in the world. Today, we come here, not just for China, not just for breathing lightly today. We can feel our hearts aching for our rapidly falling and distorted dreams. Truth and justice and, peace and freedom, all the values we hold so dear, have never been so twisted together with lies and prejudice. We Chinese knew the saying, when a country is broken, no home is safe. However, now we all saw, when our cherished values became so twisted together with lies and prejudice, a huge country was so easily slandered to be like a demon. Over billion's innocent people were so easily painted as thugs and goons. How could there be peace in such a world? How could we not feel chilled by such freedom? What are we going to do? Waiting for the world to wake up? Every one of us here knows: No! We will not rest our hope onto the others. We, the common people, are the real conscience of the world. We are our own hope! When the free media and politicians select lies, when the freedom loving American people are selected by these politicians, we, Chinese abroad, have no excuse but live up to the challenge and opportunity bestowed upon us by the time and the world! After our thrilling demonstration rally today, we, every Chinese in America, shall persistently work, from common people around us, from one group to another group, from on county to another county, to build the bridge between the western and the east. When common American people and us stand together, lying media and politicians will not be able to manipulate the truth! And our motherland may have a new image, our world may have hope, and our children may live in a better world than today! We don't know each other before, but a common ideal and dream led us here together! Let's be united like today, we know for sure that we will let our voice be heard by the world! Thank you! |
