Today I saw a new follower on my Twitter account. In her “profile” column, she puts such descriptions: “I was questioned [by police] for jumping over the Great Firewall. I had to write a guarantee statement. My [Twitter] account was delete. How resentful! What could I do? Had to “reincarnate” [by creating this new account]!”
今天看到有個人在推特上關注我。她的「簡介」欄裏寫了這麼幾個字：「翻牆被約，寫保證書，刪帳號。恨。無奈重生！」
People in the free world can hardly imagine what lies behind these few lines. How many horrible things have happened to her? How much had she suffered during this process? And how strong is her desires to get to the free world, even if it is just in the virtual world?
短短兩行字，包括了多少故事、多少驚險、多少心酸、多少無奈？
Well, we can say this is also something with “”Chinese characteristics”. And shame on Twitter to block people like this, who have suffered and sacrificed so much just for owning a Twitter account!
這就是「中國特色的社會主義」？願這種「主義」早日成爲歷史！
I hope all this will become history soon, and all people in China can also enjoy freedom like us.
再想想，中國大陸網民爲上推特甘冒奇險，推特公司卻封他們的帳號，還是人幹的事兒嗎？！
This is Also “Chinese Characteristics” 這也是「中國特色」
