Have been reading 韓寒's blog the third day, his articles always inspire me and I feel that push the media boundary in the second most political sensetive country - China.
The Cove - a documentary film from investigating the reason behind mass murder of dolphin to discover the nature of this animal e.g. the pain they suffer when hear noises. This comment is quoted from Youku.com
'为什么这么多人都把关键问题又上升到极 端民族主义啦!看了这部片子我们确实要谴责日本!但片子的核心是尊重生命!我们关键是要谴责这件事 而不是某个种族! 海豚是有自我意识的动物!我实在不能接受有自我意识的动物被这样残杀!话说回来!我们生活处处也发生这种事。如果我们能有幸参观一下杀牛的屠宰场 或者在 乡下亲眼下看见主人把自家养的狗拴起来一棒打死.脑浆迸出 为的只是招呼客人的一顿饭..... 我听说现在广东那边还有人在吃猴脑...... 或许我们越来越看不下去或是反胃!但第二天起来 我们还是会吃一碗牛肉面!看了这片子 我更多是在反思我自己!' Indeed, the main content in this film is to tell us to treasure life given by this earth. I was surprised to see most comments raised this topic to ethnical opposition between China and Japan. In fact, this become a habbit of many Chinese - haterous, after 7 years of study in UK, returning China was certainly the most exciting thing, but chatting with friends sometimes create some uncomfortable moments i.e. someone says he hates Japanese while driving a Lexus and wanna travel there for holiday! Likewise, they are like a 'frog under a well' couldn't accept foreign stuff, these people are filled with the positive message inserted to their mind through all kinds of media (and I have something to say about the media in china, leave this topic for next time). Alright , I have written the longest article since graduated. let me continue watching the film.
