I was in a university in a city not Beijing then. My parents experienced the whole event. They saw a nine year old boy been shot dead. Our home is far away from TianAn Square, It is in XueYuan Lu. So it must be a stray bullet. My mom is 69 years old now. She cannot forgive. She told me that it was good luck that I was not in Beijing then. She told me "if you see the boy with your own eyes, you will never forget, and never forgive."
“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”
― Thomas Stephen Szasz
六四的时候我们班上都去游行,惟独一个男生不参加,因为没有课上,他天天和女友去看电影逛街。我们恨他恨得不行,甚至讨论是否应该把他打一顿。当然最后没有打。
后来回想起来,为什么会因为政治而把一个人妖魔化而忘记了他99%的人性?六四运动前,大家都是好朋友,共同谈理想恋爱,结果差点因为政治翻脸。大陆共产党的教育一向是把一个人的政治立场放在第一位,反革命(无论革命的定义是什么)就要赶尽杀绝,我们受到这种灌输,在六四中也有这种想法。
现在我也有自己的政治立场,但是我不再认为,政治观点和我对立的人是坏人。我假设他们主观上在做自己认为正确的事情,他们也爱自己的家庭,也有自己的道德信仰。我憎恨的人也会因为生老病死落泪。我不会因为一个人和我政见不合而拒绝和他交谈,拒绝做朋友。
推广到生活纠纷上上,和你有纠纷的人,绝大多数不是坏人,你要设法想象对方也爱自己的家庭,也有自己的道德信仰,也是在极力寻找宇宙中的公正点。你要看到对方99%的人性,理解他的合理的利益,不要什么事情都想到证明你需要赢。如果双方都有寻找公正的诚意和技巧,不难达成妥协。
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you。 Matthew 5:44

天亮后经过学院路,看到有被烧的军车,没有在那里听说有人被打死,当然后来大家都不说了,所以可能性是有,不知道多大。
If you were there, you won't miss him. Many people was surround the van crying.
这个让我挺不明白的,9岁的孩子半夜12点还跑出去?家长呢?
属于the stupid。除非按天安门母亲们的要求:真相,赔偿,问责。
广场被打死以数千计。那时候我们在一起住的有十几个,来自美国各地的大学。大家都被美国媒体煽动到发疯的地步。大家几乎都辞了餐馆工搞活动,我们夜间开车到中国驻华盛顿大使馆示威。今天想起来,那时真是年轻,单纯!
