令人動容落淚！
Friday, March 21, 2014 Diary
10.00 a.m. Leaving Hsinchu on a mission: join the uprising against the president, the KMT and ECFA, making the voice of all my foreign friends heard who stand behind the protesters whose goal is forcing the government to scrap the "black box agreement" with China and stopping the KMT traitors and the Chinese invaders from pulling the ECFA, their Trojan Horse into Taiwan! Going with me: Lena Luo, a former student of mine whom i asked to record everything and to cancel my classes in Hsinchu in case of arrest and jail.
早上10點, 離開新竹赴任務: 加入抗議馬總統, 國民黨與ECFA的活動, 為我所有的外國朋友發聲, 因為他們聽見抗議者心聲並支持退回與中國簽訂的黑箱服貿, 也希望能阻止KMT的叛徒與中國的侵略者把木馬屠城放進台灣. Lena Luo同學是我之前竹教大的學生, 也與我同行, 並記錄我的行動, 萬一我被捕入獄, 她還可以幫我取消新竹的課.
11.00 a.m. Walking among the huge crowd of protesters, shaking hands with friends old and new from all over Taiwan, feeling the energy and determination to resist and stand up against our Communist China -style arrogant and undemocratic government at all costs. Rubbing shoulders with men (see picture of guy in miliary uniform / camouflage) who would rather be dead than red (under Chinese rule). Feeling at home among those kindred spirits and ready to fight and die with them for our free Republic of Taiwan if need be!
11 點時, 走入大批抗議群眾中, 和全台各地的新舊朋友們握手, 也感覺到他們不計一切代價, 反對中國共產黨傲慢與不民主的能量與決心. 在照片中與我磨肩打氣的男子, 身穿軍服與旗幟, 他寧可死也不願染紅, 不願受中共統治! 看到這些志趣相同的朋友讓我有回家的感覺, 如果有必要, 我將會與他們並肩作戰, 捍衛自由民主的台灣!
12.00 a.m. I march over to the entrance of the Legislative Yuan. A strong and grim looking police force guards the building. I think of the consequences of ECFA, of Taiwan on its way of becoming a second Hongkong and a surge of fury and disgust with regard to our president and his clique makes me flip out. I position myself in front of the police squad and keep shouting: Mr. Ma and all those traitors behind him should go to hell! I shout and give them double thumbs down until DPP friends pull me away fearing the worst - a clash and arrest! A British free lance journalist and Taiwan resident shoots the scene.
12 點鐘, 我挺進立院大門口, 一群強壯又神情嚴峻的武裝警察正看守著立院, 我馬上就想到ECFA的後果~台灣正在步上香港的後塵, 然後一陣對總統和他的羽黨的憤怒與噁心一下子就洶湧而上: 我失控了! 我立刻到武裝警察群的面前大叫: 馬先生和背後所有的叛徒下地獄! 我邊咆嘯還邊比了向下大拇指的手勢, 直到DPP的朋友們把我拉開, 他們其實也害怕最壞的結果-衝突與逮捕! 在旁一位英籍的自由記者與台灣人民也拍到了這一幕.
1.00 p.m. I stand beside a make-shift stage where i listen to a speech by a Taiwanese who is studying for a Ph.D in law in Germany. He gives a fiery speech and shouts: Does Germany have a street named after Adolf Hitler? No, i have not seen a single one! But here in Taiwan every city has a "Zhong Zheng" road (Chinese name of Tschiank Kai Shek)!!! I shake hands and make friends with him after he descends from the stage. The people around immediately egg me on to speak and put a mic in my hand.
I start to get butterflies in my stomach, i realize that it's kind of a historic moment.It has never happened before and will most probably never happen again. A moment too big and frightening for a simple German language teacher from the province who is supposed go on a stage in the capital before a huge crowd and talk politics! No time to hesitate or chicken out, thousands of eyes are on me - it's now or never! Let's go! I give a short impromptu speech which I end with a slogan and a thunderous echo from the crowd: fei he - fei Ma - fei fumao han Guo Min Dang de zheng tse (scrap the nukes - impeach the president - get rid of ECFA and his KMT gang)! A TV station journalist walks over to me and invites me to an interview in two weeks.
下午1點, 我站在臨時搭建的演講台前, 聽到了一位德國法律學博士後的台灣人演講, 他急聲呼籲道: 德國有任何一條街道是以希特勒命名的嗎? 沒有, 我從未見過任何一條! 但是台灣仍有許多城市有"中正路"(蔣介石)!!!他下台後我和他握手並成為朋友. 但群眾馬上拱我上台, 並要我說幾句話.
我開始感到緊張, 也立刻了解到這是歷史性的一刻. 它從未發生在我身上, 也許將來也不會有了, 對一名小小外縣市來的德語教師而言, 在首都演講這一刻實在太重大又太恐懼了, 台下有一大群人, 主題還是政治!但沒有時間猶豫或退縮了, 有幾千隻眼睛盯著我, 以後應該再也不會有了! 走吧! 我慷慨激昂的即興演講, 而我用來結尾的口號也獲得廣大群眾的回應, 他們都跟著我喊:"廢核! 廢馬! 廢服貿和國民黨的政權! 之後, 一位電視台記者過來打招呼並邀請我兩個禮拜後做訪談!
15.00 Return to Hsinchu pumped up with energy, hope and optimism i've picked up from the movement. Not all is lost! Not yet! Taiwan still has lots of great and fearless folks who get deeply involved in societal issues and are ready to fight governmental bullying, arbitrariness and despotic rule
! It is true more people are still mobilizing for Hello Kitty, Yellow Little Duck, fireworks, Lei Shen Japanese chocolate and similar nonsense. But the descendants of the 228 incident victims and other heroes / freedom fighters are among us and are our only guarantee for reigning in and keeping away the Chinese dragon who is already heavily breathing down our neck for the time being!
3點時回到新竹, 全身充滿從這一刻得到的能量, 希望, 和樂觀. 我們還沒輸, 真的沒有, 台灣還次有許多很棒又勇敢無畏的國民, 深深地投入社會議題之中, 並且已經準備好要與政府霸凌, 不公不義, 專制獨裁抗戰!
的確有很多人還在瘋凱蒂貓, 黃小鴨, 煙火和雷神或類似的無厘頭. 但是228事件受害者的後代和其他的英雄, 自由的鬥士, 仍還在我們之中, 他們也是我們對於控制和驅離中國這條大龍的保證, 它早已對我們虎視眈眈了!
Long live our free Taiwan and to the garbage dump of history with mainland Chinese imperialists and their Taiwanese KMT allies!!

P.S. 1 My speech is on my FB
P.S.2 In case someone still has doubts about China and
her intentions - to defeat Taiwan by hook or by
crook, by trade or by war - here a reminder:
a female student of mine came recently back
from traveling all over China. A soldier who
had just finished his military service confid -
ed her: All our weapon systems and training
have only one goal: how to bring Taiwan to
its knees in the shortest possible time and
with a minimum of our own losses!
後記二 如果還有人對中國的意圖有疑慮, 反正他們不論手段, 那這裡有一個小提醒:
一位我的女學生剛剛從大陸各省旅遊回來, 有一位剛受訓結業的軍官向她保證: 我們所有的武器系統與訓練只有一個目標: 要在最短時間和用最少代價讓台灣屈服!
