Long live democracy

A small person, with his own wisdom and hard work, wants to live his life steadily. That's right, no one has the right to blame him. But the premise is peace and prosperity.
If he is in a whirlpool, no one can accuse him even if he insists on not listening to things outside the window. Because no one has the right to demand that others sacrifice everything to maintain justice. Why is it that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country? The country is not a country, and the people in it, even if you want to, can no longer stay out of it. If Lawyer Song started to take this case only for the aunt's innocent son, then later, he was definitely fighting against the entire power.
Another defense lawyer said that we are not here to defend innocence. The subtext is that although we all know that they are innocent, it is impossible to achieve, and the result is indeed not achieved. but! If everyone who holds justice holds the name of changing the world with such gentleness, how long will tyranny last?
Tan Sitong said that revolution requires bloodshed, so start with me.
Thinking back about this sentence now, maybe he is no longer so great. A small person like Attorney Song who is committed to making money, has resolutely embarked on such a path when he was constantly under the impact of tyranny. He couldn't bear his wife and children, and felt ashamed of them, but he insisted on doing it. Is it because he is great? no. Because there are always things in life that you know you have to do.

I saw a movie about events in Gwangju, "Gorgeous Holidays" a few years ago. This is the best evidence that Koreans dare to face history and face their mistakes. We respect this very much and will not criticize them for historical reasons. If there has been, change it.
In the same *** revolution, how many so-called truths do we know? Even a book like "Bright Sword" became a happy and harmonious ending after it was adapted into a TV series. What the real result is, the book has its own conclusion.
I have read "Brothers" written by Yu Hua, and let me talk about the scene that touched me most without telling the story. That was also the "prisoner" who was struggling in the maelstrom. He really couldn't stand the torture. Finally, he slammed a long nail into his brain with a brick and committed suicide. The passerby in the book shook his head and said, really can't figure out how can a person have so much courage to end his life in such a cruel way?
That's because torture is more cruel. Don't talk about the era, don't talk about the system. Even under the same sky, there will always be people who are not afraid of power and will not vent evil to others. Sinners, there are gods who raise their heads three feet tall, let these wronged souls watch your fate with wide eyes.

Last year, when I was still in the United States, there was a Chinese protest. The cause is that in a show where children speak freely, the host asked what should we do if we borrowed so much money from China. One of the children naively said that they would kill the Chinese.
I watched this episode and didn't feel any offense when I watched it. Because the child may not understand the true meaning of killing, and its positioning in the United States has always been an entertainment show.
But this incident caused an uproar in the local Chinese circle. They demonstrated, protested, and even asked the host to apologize. And the host really apologized finally.
At that time, my thoughts were the same as those of some friends around me, and some were disapproving. I feel that a lot of Chinese people can't make jokes too much, too serious, and totally unnecessary.
Until one day, I saw a paragraph on Weibo. Why do so many Chinese come to the United States? Isn’t it to fight for such a right: When you feel offended or your rights have been violated, you can demonstrate without hesitation and protest to the government? Today, we can finally defend our rights without any obstacles. Isn't this what we are after? !
I was shocked when I saw this passage, so I still remember it today. Yes, aren’t we pursuing this true democracy? And some compatriots have really done it, why don't we feel happy and gratified for them?

It's a little far away, and I think of a lot when watching the movie. The ending scene may make most of the audience tears in their eyes.
The verdict is no longer important. As long as people stand up one by one to resist, the tyranny will eventually perish.
Long live democracy.
