起了个很恶俗的标题，但是那天晚上我们是寂寞的。

我已经半年不谈感情，韩茹下午刚和相处三年的男友分手，我们选择了那么一个酒吧云集的地方，谁说不是有着放纵的念头的呢

只是，醉心于风景，专注着那些诱人的房屋瓦舍，我们还是轻轻松松地留下了那一晚最美的瞬间

张自忠路地铁站颇具特色

阳光下古城边的孩子

奇妙的一幕

羡慕住在门里的人

不知这石狮子已经蹲守了几年

有名的“过客”酒吧

“东堂”也是个好地儿

她很喜欢这里的小店

墙上是细致的彩画

是个雅致的小院落

印度半岛的风

老拉有很漂亮的招牌

他家隐匿半地下，有着很好的酒

听着就让人欢喜的名字

滇岸·恋云南

人气很旺我也一直很爱的一家饭馆

很开放的环境

人满为患的PassBy

会误认为“火星人”

大门紧锁

简单，就叫“胡同”

卖很精美的披肩丝缎

很爱他家的衣服，却忘了牌子名，因为太贵，绝不会去买的

中国人容易被吸引的名字

这件旗袍似乎从来没有消失过

北京最小的酒吧

我爱的名字“知胭斋”，带着脂粉气

过客咖啡分店，也售酒

“载巷共和”，总让我想起清末的改革

过客里面很有感觉，我很爱那个纸袋 Better travel than dead!

在锣鼓洞天吃的晚饭，二楼露台总是那么抢手

南锣鼓巷是一个用来感觉的地方

他们坐在酒吧外，开心地和我聊了几句，很为能到这个“北京最小的酒吧”而自豪

愚公移山，一直没有玩尽兴过

这个景象让我很惊艳

移步易景，后海的美

不远处的钟鼓楼竟那么光华万丈

依稀以为回了家乡，又或是秦淮河两岸

还是忍不住破坏了风景

离开不夜的什刹海，夜已深

What do you want from Us?
- A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet. By a Slient, Silent Chinese.

When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Peril.

When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The threat.

When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to Open Markets.

When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking away your jobs.

When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.

When We were putting the broken peices together again, Free Tibet you screamed, it was an invasion!

When Woodrow Wilson Couldnt give back Birth Place of Confucius back to Us, But He did bought a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball for us. So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists.

When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalist.

When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet.

When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse.

When We were Poor, You think we are dogs.

When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.

When We build our industries, You called us Polluters.

When we sell you goods, You blame us for global warming.

When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide.

When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.

When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us.

When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights.

When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech.

When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophoics.

Why do you hate us so much? We asked.

No, You Answered, We dont hate You.

We dont Hate You either, But Do you understand us?

Of course We do, You said, We have AFP, CNN and BBCs

What do you really want from us? Think Hard first.

'Oh my God, someone has a gun ...'

Tibet

The Guardian, Saturday March 15 2008 Article history

This is an eyewitness account of a foreign resident in Lhasa who took refuge in a hotel close to the centre of the Tibetan capital yesterday.

"Oh my God. Oh no. That's crazy. One hundred people are trying to stone one man. A man was trying to cross the street with his motorcycle - they were trying to stone him but it's so crowded I can't see whether they got him or not.
"We came out for a walk about at about five today. I knew something was happening because there were a lot of people on the street. We were on Sera Street, which goes to the [Klukang] monastery. It sounds like the noise came from there; it sounds like at first they had been fighting in the temple.
"We saw people running and people in this hotel told us to get in quickly as the crowd was coming. They seem OK here, maybe the owner is Tibetan. All the other hotels have smashed windows.
"The residents are very angry. They are throwing stones at anyone who is Han [Chinese] or from other minorities like the Hui, who are Muslims. It seems like it's ethnic - like they want to kill anyone not Tibetan.
"I would say it's a riot here but I think in the centre it's worse. There's a lot of smoke - we can see it where there have been burnings. I heard people saying the authorities were firing, using guns. We don't know.
Here we have seen people trying to stone anyone they can - Han and other minorities, not foreigners.
The Tibetans had stones and knives. I saw Chinese people running away - there was nothing they could do.
"We don't see any police around here. Maybe they're all in the centre and are too busy. It's very violent.
"Oh my God. Someone has a gun in front of me. There's a group of about 20 people - two of them have handguns. They are walking the street.They're shooting. They didn't have uniforms, but the way they were in a group I thought maybe they were police. They went down the street and the first one fired, that's for sure - I think the others did; there was so much noise I can't be sure.Then some of the citizens threw stones, but not at them - in the other direction. So I don't know if they were police or maybe Tibetans.
"I have just been out to get my things. We are staying at the hotel tonight. There are still people on the streets but only Tibetans - if they see anyone Chinese they throw stones.
"Three times people raised their arms and then when they saw I was white they stopped it. The thing that surprised me most was that I saw no police or soldiers.
"I saw three people assaulting a man - I was 50 metres away, but I think he was Chinese. They kicked him and then one man had a knife and used it. He was lying on the floor and the man put the knife in his back, like he wanted to see he was dead.
"I had to get away, there were people throwing stones.
"When I came back he was gone - I don't know if he's dead. Then I saw people who had obviously been beaten or stoned. There wasn't blood on them but they were so shocked.
"This area used to be a place where Tibetans and the Chinese were friendly.
"I think this is going to get worse. One person told me 300 people have died in the city centre [the Guardian has no information to substantiate this claim]. I just don't know."

国外某中文广播播出了记者采访“西藏流亡政府”中国事务负责人达瓦才仁的录音，截取片段：

记者：就以上一系列问题我们采访了“西藏流亡政府”中国事务负责人达瓦才仁，达瓦才仁先生你好！中国官方多次对dl喇嘛的非暴力主张提出质问，并且提问说，如果dl真的主张非暴力，那他为什么没有对“3。14”在西藏发生的藏人屠杀汉人的残暴行为做出谴责？

达瓦才仁：
首先必须要声明的是，藏人从头到尾使用的是非暴力，从藏人的角度来讲，暴力指的是对生命的伤害。（从头到尾藏人）从镜头里可以看打汉人，但都是打而已，打完以后那些汉人都会跑掉，仅仅是殴打，而不是伤害生命。那么那么那些被杀的人全部都是出于意外，从中共的报道里面都可以非常清楚的看到，他们（汉人）都是在藏人砸门的时候，跑到楼上躲起来，躲起来藏人放火烧的时候，他们都没有逃跑，而是藏起来，结果后来就意外的烧死了，而那些点火、放火的人他们根本不知道楼上有汉人躲藏。所以被烧死的人不仅有汉人，也有藏人，所以这些事情都是一种意外，不是屠杀。

列位看官，请问这样无耻的人还算是人吗？
达瓦才仁：“从藏人的角度来讲，暴力指的是对生命的伤害。”
这种认识很正确。但是，他又是怎样看待暴徒打人的呢？
达瓦才仁：“（从头到尾藏人）从镜头里可以看打汉人，但都是打而已，打完以后那些汉人都会跑掉，仅仅是殴打，而不是伤害生命。”
奇闻！殴打不是对生命的伤害！这个无耻之徒竟然还说：“仅仅是殴打”！
达瓦才仁：“那些被杀的人全部都是出于意外”
这是何等无耻的逻辑？我放火，你不跑，烧死了，不怨我，这是一种意外！
再退一步讲，难道打人、砸门、防火，这都不算是暴力？
各位，我的肺都要气炸了，你们评说吧！

真的很难过阿！！！
刚和国外的同学聊天，他们气愤、他们的担忧、他们的热情让我感动，让我为他们心酸心疼……
高中最好的朋友在曼城，她说要去反对BBC不实报道，去游行，我试图打趣“争取上个电视”，她淡淡地说“怎么可能会有媒体来采访，他们就当看不见中国留学生的反应！”
他们在国外真的辛苦了，伦敦、巴黎、旧金山，还有接下来的墨尔本，他们在奔波他们在呐喊，他们尽管可能连火炬都看不到更不会受到媒体的关注，但他们用自己的血肉之躯和自制的国旗挡住ＺＤ的气焰嚣张的攻击，他们的辛苦他们的无奈他们寻求祖国支持的声音，我们怎样才能回应怎样才能回报他们阿！
而就在国内，就在我的教室我的寝室里，有人笑得很开心地说：哈，到时候奥运会万一ZD、新疆还有台湾的都联合起来，轰炸奥体就惨了，那就好玩了！有人对我转发海外留学生的照片在背后抱怨：那么反应过度干吗！有人毫无立场地一会骂西方人一会说中国政府活该……我真的要怒了，你们是脑残吗？！

今天和Matt在天安门地铁站分手，有两个老外跟我一起进了地铁，一号线上，我们站得隔了些距离。

那两个老外在车厢那边大声说话，然后冲这边大呼小叫了半天，我回头喊了声 Who are you shouting at?

他们俩低头大笑，其中一个竟然还举起手机冲我拍照，我赶忙回头，他俩还一直大喊大叫。

我掏出相机 Hey, I have a CAMERA!!! ——还用手机拍照，真丢脸！

他们又是一阵大笑，我挺气的，但想他们可能看到我和Matt一块，以为我是某些特殊职业的人吧？

我暂且不理他们，但又听到他们大声说什么...Chinese...Asian，还伴着大笑，我没听清，但觉得肯定不是好话，似乎故意大声说的。

到了八通线，他们居然又跟着我进了车厢，还冲在等车的人前面，抢到了两个位子（！！！）

车上一个男人站着打手机，其中一个老外向他示意要手机，拿过去之后冲着话筒喊 Can you speak English? Speak English!!! Speak ENGLISH!!!

那个傻中国男人拿回手机之后居然还说什么“我也不认识啊，哎呀，让你练习练习英语多好，人家也是表示友好阿！”

我心想“呸，什么友好！”但是事情并没有发生在我身上，所以也没有作声。

哪知道那两个老外还是不安静，居然伸手扯着邻座的女人羽绒服上的毛领大叫 What animal is it? Do you speak English? Tell me what kind of animal it is!

我气坏了，冲过去对着他们大喊 English is the EASIEST language in the world!!! They don't use real fur. No animal here! And PLEASE, stop making noises all right?! You've been making noises since Line one! That's really ANNOYING!!!

喊完之后我准备好大吵一架，哪知那两个没种的男人居然立即没了气焰，还说了 Sorry. I know that was annoying. Sorry.

我晕！这两个老外是什么玩意儿阿！！！
