Can you please tell me what are the top 5 colleges where I can earn my bachelor degree from in the US? If you have any ideas, please let me know them. Thanks in advance.

I think i failed to make myself understood because of language, because of the huge gap between us. Chinese government is criticized for the dictatorship but that is the result of our long long history. To make a democratic society work, first, the training of citizens is critical. However, if you ask Chinese what is the meaning of “citizen”, just like “community”, few of them know the answer. Can you imagine what the situation will be like if China became a so-called democratic country in 1989? That will be a disaster for its people as well as the world. It is commonly believed that what China needs most is evolution instead of revolution. Take the TIANANMEN SQUARE EVENT for example, if the student leaders demanded then that the existing government turn over the power right away, without any compromise — do you still think it is evolution? There is no denying power is an addictive thing; no one is willing to give it up without any hesitation. If you think in their shoes, you can understand their choice. I never said the students should be killed or it is right for the government to kill its people (actually, in that case, enemies). The demonstrators like me became the hostage of those student leaders. Don’t you think they have the responsibility to protect those naive demonstrators on the square? I believe they already knew earlier that the government would become crazy then, and they would do everything they could to keep the power. What did they do? They just let it happen to get more moral support all over the world.
i was lucky enough to be away that night, otherwise, what a loss for the Chinese community journalism! Actually, i didn’t know what i was doing then. If i saw those tanks, i would flee away instantly.
I don’t think if those student leaders got what they wanted then, they would do better than the current leaders. Absolute power will lead to absolute corruption. What we need is a more sound system, which, we Chinese realize now, will take the country more than several hundred years to establish.
When the Jasmine Revolution occurred last year, i told my students: based on my previous experience, stay away; that is not the best thing for China. What you should do is to shoulder your responsibility for the country bit by bit, you can do lots of small things. In China, especially at critical times, demonstration is not a good choice, which will only make the government more defensive and take more tight control of the media and everything.
Because of language, i still don’t think i expressed myself clearly. I know you tried your best to make me look as normal as possible, however, it still sound ridiculous from the perspective of Americans. But that is what some Chinese think. I should let you know there are various kinds of voices. I will not take back what I said. Your blog doesn’t offend me since that is exactly what I think and keep on saying. But your people’s take-ignorance-for-truth comment about China (that is not the truth, for example. You think life must be miserable in a country without press freedom, if I have the power to direct people to mock the happy scene in the park, what a big potato I am! I do wish that day would come earlier which will be the best news for Chinese community journalism too) upset me which made me feel so vulnerable, I felt like climbing the Mount Everest, a task which can never be finished. i suggest your taking away that blog of TIANANMEN SQUARE in order to avoid more misunderstanding. i know i can’t persuade you, but it is unfair for me to debate such a complex issue in your language. What i can tell you is i am not an exception in holding the view about that event. I think you should know me enough; I am very independent and not a party member and will never be. There is not only black and white (your word) — and there does exist some gray areas.
We Chinese say: Americans always act like they are the world police, telling us what we should or shouldn’t do. We are glad that period is over. There should not be only one dominant voice in the world. What I can’t understand is why you encourage various voices on internal issues, when you wish your voice on the international issue is the only exclusively correct one. As you always say, we can’t cut and paste the US model onto China, so, please give us more time and room to make progress by ourselves bit by bit. If American learns this lesson, the Sino-USA relationship will improve greatly.
