What I want to say tonight

If you’d like to search for what’s happening at Tianjin University tonight, you will learn something different from what you always learnt from China’s government,

You will learn the integrity and nerve

You will learn the unyielding spirit,

From the young boys and girls,

From the people who have courage to speak up for themselves,

as well as speak up for the citizens who are withstanding the ridiculous quarantine.

I have to admit that I was timid and overcautious over the events,

I had to play as a coward for living,

I had to censor for what I would demonstrate to check if it was under political correctness

and even now, I still have to put up with the strict lockdown since now I am in Shanghai,

But Tonight,

I choose to stand with them firmly together,

I want to shout loudly,

TO SAY,

HIT DOWN THE BUREAUCRACY!

HIT DOWN THE FORMALISM!
