2008年3月,我们期待已久的北京奥运的火炬终于从希腊启程. 在这支承载着中国13亿人关于和平和爱的火炬缓缓地朝中国走来的同时,我们没有想到竟会有那么多无知的人盲目的阻挠.

关于西藏的事实被西方媒介厚颜无耻抹黑的新闻,相信每一个漂泊在外的华人已经对其深恶痛绝. 铺天盖地的照片,YouTube上的每一个片段都让我们觉得沉重的无法言语.即使踏上他乡的土地已经多年,但我们血管里流动的液体的颜色,都是永远不会改变的中国红.当风雪中无数中国同胞一起举着五星红旗,在大街上骄傲地高喊“一个中国!ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM!”,毫不畏惧的跟 “藏独”分子用事实对抗, 并在THAMES河边齐声唱起久违的国歌时,坐在冬暖夏凉的办公室里的我们也许真的不能冷静的沉默了.这么多天来,我们都在思考已经在国外各个岗位上工作的我们能为自己的祖国做些什么.如果我们每天能够利用点滴跟外国同事工作之余闲聊的时间,让身边的人通过我们自己的经历和叙述去了解一个真实的中国,一个事实眼中的西藏,这样是不是能够比在大街上无比愤慨的跟那些被雇佣来的抗议者对质更有效呢?

于是,就有了“Tibet Unfold”这个小摆设的诞生. Unfold, 除了字面上的"打开,拆开"之外,还有一层意思是"揭露". 这是我们CCP的多位会员利用平时休息时间收集来各种史书资料,无比谨慎的编写出关于西藏多个被西方人误解的事实,并自行设计而成的. "Tibet Unfold"的电子文档包含了3页内容. 前2页是主要部分,第三页是制作过程简介. 大家只需要下载那个PDF文件, 然后把它用彩色打印机打印出来, 折叠个两三下就可以了. 记得务必要使用双面打印, double-sided printing, 这样打开看内容的时候,才能有"Unfold"的感觉. 折叠好的小摆设,放在我们大家的办公桌上,只要能够吸引来来往往的人一些注意力,停留下脚步,愿意和我们探讨事件的真相, 那么我们的目的就达到了. 希望在表达我们支持中国,支持北京奥运的同时,能够以我们个人为单位向身边的人展示关于西藏的事实. 欢迎大家把这个PDF文件转发给你身边的每一位愿意了解中国,愿意用自己的思想去判断事实真相的人们.

或许某一个人的力量不能算什么,但是只要我们能够团结起来朝着同一个方向努力,那效果就很客观了. 年幼时的我们总是听到 “水滴石穿”的故事,现在就让我们用每一個人的点滴真情去实现這个寓言.

Please Give China a Break 

- Uncovering the Complex Truth behind Popular Myths about China and Tibet

Author: Yipei Liu

Issues around China and Tibet have taken centre stage in some recent political debate. While different people may hold different views have different interpretations, reduction of the complex ethno-socio-economic-political dynamic behind the development of the recent turmoil into simplistic terms like “Chinese suppression” does not do justice to reality.  Popular myths often contribute to the distortion of public views. This is particularly true when it comes to issues that are distant from daily public life. The purpose of this document is to provide its readers with some much overlooked, yet well documented, “arguments from the other side” that are rarely broadcasted on the supposedly objective and impartial media in the Western world. While some reader may not be entirely convinced by the evidence and arguments provided in this document, by demonstration the mere existence of such evidence and arguments, we hope to convey the fact that the issues around Tibet – and China in general – are, at least, not as “black-and-white” as commonly assumed. At this point in time, please put the emotions aside and give China a break. After all, even if the Chinese government did not deserve a perfect Olympics, the Chinese people - who worked so hard to raise their country from its post-revolution ruins to the current state of prosperity - unarguably do. 

‘Your will is like the gathering of clouds,

your call like thunder;

From these comes timely rain

to nourish selfless the earth!’[1]
