為什麽恨我們?
從我們被稱為東亞病夫時起就已經被當作"黃禍"。
當我們被宣傳為下一個超級大國時,我們又被當成了威脅。
當我們關上大門時,你們靠走私毒品來"打開市場"。
當我們想拒絕毒品時,你們就用武力強行推銷。
等我們也信奉自由貿易時,你們卻責罵我們奪走了你們的工作。
當我們碎裂成幾片時,你們的軍隊闖進來要求公平分贓。
當我們把碎片重拚接好時,你們又叫囂要"解放被入侵的西藏"。
我們嚐試共產主義,你們恨我們是共產分子。
好,我們接納了資本主義,你們又恨我們是資本家。
當我們有十億人民時,你們說我們正在壓垮這個星球。
於是我們實行了計劃生育,可是你們又說這是違反人權。
當我們貧窮時,你們認為我們是狗。
當我們借給你們現金時,你們又罵我們使你們負了債。
當我們建設我們的工業時,你們稱我們是汙染者。
你們一邊享用我們提供的物美價廉的商品,一邊責備我們助長了溫室效應。
當我們購買石油時,你們嚷嚷著"剝削非洲和支持種族屠殺"。
而當你們為石油發動戰爭時,你們說它是"解放"。
當我們在動亂時,你們驚呼,然後要插手替我們製定律法。
當我們依法平息暴亂時,你們稱這是"野蠻鎮壓"。
當我們沉默時,你們說我們沒有言論自由。
當我們不再沉默時,你們又說我們仇外,因為全都被洗了腦。
"你們為什麽那麽恨我們?"我們不禁要問。
"不不不,我們不恨任何人,我們西方世界一向文明、公平、寬容、博愛……"
"你們理解我們嗎?"我們不禁疑惑。
"開什麽玩笑,這還用問?!"你們說,"別忘了我們有世界上最好的媒體——AFP、CNN和BBCs."
