I talked about some events in the United States when McCarthyism prevailed. Although it was a time of terror, and many people could not protect themselves, there were still people who were telling the truth, who were able to speak the truth, and who were able to fight vigorously.

A long time ago, when I was reading a book about what happened to some intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution, I felt very sorry for them. Maybe they would not be so miserable when they went to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek.

Later, I learned about Bai Yang and Li Ao. After things like Green Island, I sighed that the two sides of the strait are the same, they are really unfortunate, why don't they just go to the United States, it's always a free and safe country;

but later, I learned some things. After the McCarthy period, I suddenly realized that the whole world is the same. For the doom of conscientious and bloody people who dare to tell the truth, what should come will always come, no matter where you are.

    When admiring the reporter's greatness, we must also see the greatness of the system (the so-called greatness does not mean "never make mistakes" or "Xanadu"). Of course, no matter how great the system is, it is not a panacea. Last year, a White House reporter was forced to resign because he criticized Jews. This kind of dictatorship is just around the corner. The road to reflection in the United States is never-ending. .
