Thoughts on rallies

Anti-japanese rallies are here and there in China these days, and now people march on even in this city despite that we didn't lose our cool.

Shame on the rightist Japanese that attempted to cover up the truth of Nanking Massacre. However throwing stones, damaging Japanese restaurants or spitting on Toyotas are not doing any good on this issue either.

People yelling "boycott Jap products" didn't forget to take pictures with their Sony Cybershots. What is behind this sudden and schizophrenic patriotism??? Mingpao inspired me today - when you finally have the chance to do something outrageous, you'd do it no matter what.

We are lucky that here the protestors stayed calm even when they passed by Sogo where loads of people are doing their shopping. May God bless this little piece of land.
