The Hand That Pulls the Trigger

J'ai trouvé que cet article était vraiment bien écrit :

The Hand That Pulls the Trigger - A Personal Reflection on Nationalism in China in the Wake of the South China Sea Incident, Huffington Post (blog), By REBECCA CHAO, The Morningside Post, October 6, 2010

Extraits :
  • "When I asked my grandfather -- Yieyie, as I call him -- if Japan should apologize to China over the September 8 arrest of the Chinese fishing captain in the disputed waters of the Southeast China Sea, he did not hesitate to say: absolutely. If he could, at age 90, he would pick up arms and fight the Japanese all over again if it were necessary to defend China's borders."
  • "In the winter of 1949, my grandfather was one of nearly 2 million Chinese who fled to Taiwan. He fought the Communist Party as a colonel under Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of the Nationalist Party and first president of Taiwan. And in those sixty-one years, he has only been back home once."
  • "Despite his Taiwanese citizenship, my grandfather never calls himself Taiwanese. He is Chinese and though he holds no loyalties to the Communist government, he believes the Chinese are a good people. Tokyo may be wrong, Beijing may not be right, but the Chinese people deserve to never see another Nanjing Massacre."
  • "When I speak to Yieyie over the phone, I know the hand that holds it once held a gun and pulled the trigger. But he knows this is not where power comes from. Power is the hand that held me at birth and led his family to safety during the civil war. And it is the hand that I know will linger on the phone for a few moments in a thoughtful pause when he puts it back down after our conversation is over."
Je trouve que la fin est particulièrement touchante. Magnifique !

Ode à la diversité et la beauté de Taiwan

Voici un très bel article sur Taiwan :
 
Extraits :
  • "Is this the endgame, the invasion threatened by the mainland regime ever since 1949? No, simply fat strings of red firecrackers exploding to herald the last day of Lunar New Year festivities."
  • "As for the mainland Chinese, yes, they are now landing in force. [...] This peaceful invasion-by-stealth threatens to overwhelm some of Taiwan’s major visitor attractions."
