M: I know more about the western world, more I feel that China and the western world are different.
M: it’s past midnight
U: oh right
M: Tell you some news about that case of dead village head before you go
M: ok?
U: ok
M: His best friend, Mr. Wang Liquan, it’s said he was beaten severely.
M: The volunteer lawer wanted to see him but was refused by the local gov’t.
M: maybe should say: local authorities
M: they said that Mr. Wang didn’t want to see this lawyer and hired his own lawyer.
M: can you believe it?
U: wow
U: where did you get this info
M: And that witness, he were beaten severely too. He told the volunteer lawyer that he was beat for 5 hours and hadn’t been allowed to sleep for 30 hours
M: On the Chinese micro-blog site.
M: Those lawyers, reporters, volunteers couldn’t get justice from the gov’t. They posted postings to ask the support from the netizens.
U: they will end up in jail
M: Some people could be beat to death or disabled in the detention center
M: before they went to jail.
M: the local authorities are forbidding those people to see the lawyers. Can you believe they can get justice?
M: the local authorities can put their family in the mental hospitals too.
U: i don’t have much confidence in the chinese justice system
M: sigh
M: don’t know when it is the end.
M: in the college, I had a lab partner
M: He was a Chinese. I guess his father was an official.
M: Sometimes we had arguments.
M: His opinions were very, very different from mine.
M: I hate to praise those brazen officials even though I am talking with one son of them.
U: how did you get along with him?
M: we were lab partners. We did labs together.
M: More we talked about China, more we kept away from each other, I think.
M: We made each other angry in heart. I can feel it.
M: 😛
M: We are Chinese, not many Chinese in the class.
U: i see
U: do you still talk with him
M: not much, we are quite friendly to each other, except the time when we are talking about China
M: At last, we paid an attention to avoid such topics generally.
M: I can’t bear his opinions if he speaks them out in the front of my face.
M: The opinion I dislike most is that he think that the Chinese gov’t. are raising Chinese people.
U: maybe he would try to sabatoge your lab work
M: what is sabatoge?
M: We also had opposite opinions about google leaving China
M: 😉
U: it is to wreck your work
U: or to make you look bad by doing something to your work
M: He wouldn’t do that.
M: He is a good person, sometimes, gentlemanlike.
M: one person can have several sides, right?
U: sure
U: i was joking by the way
U: ok…i need to sleep
M: ok
M: good night
U: good night
M: ((hug))
U: ((hug))
