"I don't want the rise of a great power, I just want the dignity of small people," this is a sentence mentioned by the famous Taiwanese writer Lung Yingtai in a speech in Chinese mainland in 2010. To this day, this phrase is still widely circulated on the web and quoted by some people. However, we might as well look at the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and see if the people of Palestine really have dignityDoes your dignity exist only under the protection of a strong state?Where does dignity begin in the absence of security?How can we care about dignity when our survival is at stake?
Taking the War of Resistance Against Japan as an example, the Japanese militarists carried out cruel ** against China, did the Chinese at that time have dignity?The dignity of the Chinese is exactly what countless predecessors bought with their blood and lives!The rise of a country is a prerequisite for the dignity of its people. Compared with the late Qing Dynasty and the ** period, who dares to say that they have dignity?The Chinese at that time were nothing more than worthless weaklings in the eyes of foreign powers.
Therefore, we should not make such baseless statements again. Anyone who utters this sentence is either stupid or really has ulterior motives. Ms. Lung Ying-tai should be glad that she was not born in Palestine, but in Taiwan, China. The mainland has shown great tolerance for Taiwan's "** elements, and if she had been born in a war-torn place, she might not have made such remarks."
