I won't forget midday of that the world forever, when computer system shows my Zhou Er and doing not have absent from work, the expression on face of manager of that white man. She raised eyebrow, have little open-eyed, it is normal to restored very quickly next, accompanied special United States hunch. "Well, look gave dot issue. " her mood is very optional, the person that seems to err is me, and she makes relaxed atmosphere let me in good intention ground need not too embarrassed. The autumn that was 2014 then, I work in the dining-room of the school, experience a student studying abroad explode a life -- brush dish by day, read in the evening business class.
Actually, I do not think such; but all newcome Chinese wants Dish Room be goinged to by the clique without one exception, the tireddest the dirtiest place. Schoolgirl of a China tells me to say, she was washed full the dish of one semester. Additional, dining-room is right the language barrier of Chinese student almost 0 patient, because I did not understand the sauce material that the client wants, the hutch after was being gone to by the clique after 20 seconds -- need not retell once I insert the local; of a word label, because won't move back and forth with frame a long time, manager of a white man comes over one has seized label from inside my hand, had inserted silent as the gravely next, face about went. In dining-room of this Bacchic congested, as if to there is an invisible thermometer in a certain place, in lift slowly.
Until a certain Zhou Wu, I go to work, the manager comes over to keep a straight face say, bother you to come over with me. Take me into that narrow office next, she takes out a piece of form, writing above greatly " Warning " . "Your Tuesday did not come afternoon, also did not call ahead of schedule inform us. So, the absent from work that this is you punishs sheet. " Zhou Er afternoon? I came not only that day, and I am gone to to Dish Room by the clique again, full 6 hours, I washed 2352 dish, I had been counted one by one. Didn't I come? The dish that will the 2nd character that is me come wash? I begin to have bit of insecurity, "I came that day afternoon. " the director says, "How should you prove then? " " you can check Clock-in. " sit aside large kitchen opens computer slowly, input next my learn date and name, "Working hours 12:00pm-18:00pm. 0pm..
At the moment, I feel to make an office in, only this frozen computer just is the warmest existence. "Oh, the likelihood is to register gave dot issue, that does not have a thing, you can go. " if this is a film, calm case is in this momently, then I should be collected come down to show an all voice at that time, advocate the sound that hutch knocks noisy clavier, the manager puts that piece of Warning into the sound of shredded paper machine, my roll doorknob, walk out of the sound that went closing the door. Still have, that thermometer explodes eventually watch, "Bang " the sound of go to sticks and staves. And these audio are another: Silent. "Why be simple Check obviously can know I come after all, were you done however? Why I am behaved all along good, did you still hesitate to leave to me none piece punish sheet? Why, after discovering the error that is you, don't have even an apology however? " me all problems, did not reply, because they circle only,be in my brain.
I am not to should rely on this job to raise the home to paper a mouth, I am not recreant and timid person, also pointing to without muzzle at that time. Anyhow is, I fall in the case that can defend completely, chose silent. This is silent I make a surprise attack in the again and again of a lot of hour later, let me regret, make me indignant, make me sentimental even. I always want to return midday of that the world, destroy by melting or burning prepares in the manager that piece of Warning when, calmingly but say sturdily " I need you to apologize to me! " regrettablly, I do not have aleatoric door, also do not have spatio-temporal machine, I can deposit this one screen for a long time in the heart only, review everywhere. Later, I sit every time the bus passes that dining-room, as if outside the window turned a film into camera lens, related a not quite good story without breath ground soundlessly.
Political Correctness is in the United States is one has been about to be used excessive word, arrive from politics recreation, arrive from the enterprise classroom. This word resembling is fine fine line, dialing moving everybody in the heart a fine nerve. Can not have clodhopping name, can not have the suggestion of directivity, can not descendants some gens the crowd eliminates outer... open Facebook, the user can order the sexual distinction that makes his even (Custom) , full more than 70 kinds of option, let me suspect to be written over there my sexual distinction for a time " female " appear right oneself not quite on heart. All these is we look get, and we know a very easy to read and understand and coarse truth, namely " be short of to love what to show more more. " be in power is treated correct when this concept is advertised so that make a person queasy a little, we not should evasive, this country, never had gone from inside the haze of discrimination truly actually.
Individually a group of things with common features group imparity of acquisition social natural resources is early not be what news in; duty field " the ceiling " it is tacit regular; a lot of student studying abroads also had experienced the school in " distinction is treated " . We are in the air with correct politics, be about to breathe the mist haze of discrimination from time to time however. In everyday life, this kind of discrimination is OK still block cloak attack by surprise, drape a fig leaf with breeding and morality, and should differ phyletic when the interest conflict between erupts, discrimination, double standard, distinction is treated, again also cannot evasive.
This moment last year, my neighbour is one group special " lively " youth. Lively to what degree? It is the apartment of two worlds obviously, fill in full went in 78 people. Nocturnal night playing and singing, can hear the adjoining deafening music that transmits in the evening everyday. Before dawn two still went up in the balcony at 3 o'clock roughhouse, have all sorts of content that can't bear pleasant to hear, with peculiar nicotian taste... I and roommate are made a noise so that cannot rest, return gently ground to say with them at first very late, but with a bit quieter, result among them all over the face the white man schoolboy of big mustache says with very contemptuous mood " Sorry, I Don't Understand Your English. " next a flock of people the whole room burst into laughter. We chose furiously to call the police, after the police came, their come to an agreement or understanding, reply house instantly. Result after 5 minutes, they begin to sing on the balcony unexpectedly, incorrect, it is a shout... we looked for Leasing Office a lot of times, be mixed by genial smile every time " well good, we can warn them " the answer is blocked up come back. Next, everything is unaltered.
One day in the evening, neighbour is in again balcony shout when, we hear they mentioned us, it is a the whole room burst into laughter next, say finally " That Is Chinese. " every time when the student studying abroad pays close attention to the rights and interests that is his in beautiful Chinese to phonate, total somebody fleer: They are American, you are a Chinese, 8 pole play the significance that does not wear. Really such? I think all the time, chinese face and Last Name, it is our collective label. We are an a group of things with common features descendants, joys and sorrows and in all. Chinese all along with kind-hearted devoir, hard-working figure shows a person. This is to be in the years of wailing wind and weeping rain-wretched circumstances, our evolution goes out live philosophy. But arrived now, we must admit a lot of moment pathetically, this kind of kind-hearted nature often becomes us by one of conditions of wanton trample.
The Jimmy Kimmel 2013 disgrace China incident, when a few children are discussing how to solve the United States to owe problem of debt of a huge sum, a little boy says " kill smooth all Chinese (Kill Everyone In China) " , compere Jimmy Kimmel was not corrected in time not only, and still continued to speak with fervor and assurance one time with respect to this idea and a few dot for program effect.
After the program broadcasts, caused a mighty uproar, a lot of people state this is barefaced disgrace China, dot may be not sensible, but compere and programming person are adult, they did not consider the controversy that the program may arouse still broadcasts the program. Erupted to parade to the most large-scale till at that time Chinese on American history subsequently, completely beautiful each district shares several Chinese to participate in, ask ABC apology and compere Jimmy Kimmel resign. To this incident, evaluation of a lot of people says Chinese group eventually no longer silent, all along the Chinese of endure humiliation in order to carry out an important task had the hour that strike back eventually. But, I feel this is worth pride far from, because compared with other for a group of things with common features descendants, we phonate too late. In a lot of people harangue analyses the culture difference inside this when, the audience of foreign citizen of Chinese origin of a lot of blame is to this evaluation, "If this program is aimed at, is other a group of things with common features descendants, reckon ABC connects the courage that sows to be done not have. Reckon ABC connects the courage that sows to be done not have..
Now, went 3 years, politician of more and more foreign citizen of Chinese origin rise, 500 strong companies of world also had more and more Chinese face in tall canal, chinese community appears more and more influential force, say proudly when everybody " American foreign citizen of Chinese origin a group of things with common features group when the position promotes apparently " -- we had Liang Bide case again. A novice police officer of 27 years old is sent to go to the area with the most dangerous new York patrolling, when fire accidentally of the handgun after hearing sound, the quiver after a bullet that fires is rebounded by wall is not descendants youth, latter dies in hospital misfortune. Rectify a case complicated and confusing, accident scene is done not have any monitoring and kinescope, all details of a case are by two police officers nuncupative will appear. And finally, jury decision, sue Liang Bide, 5 his accusation hold water entirely, this " aspire should help Newyork city " the youth will is faced with highest imprisonment of 15 years.
Last week, quan Meichao crosses the parade of 100 thousand people to erupt, group of foreign citizen of Chinese origin asks justice tries, reject to accept the accident is qualitative for " intended homicide " . Bridge those gets each benefit that one case involves, political footing, law adjudicates on too too complex. When going up by blatant dirt in all sorts of plot, in my eye, this the sense with the greatest parade is Chinese organization unites again, phonate for oneself. Unlike last time, this phonate, it is howl.
The hundred years silent armature since eventually by lacerate. Foreign citizen of Chinese origin people realise eventually, not silent, silent backside is chill, it is coma, it is apathetic, it is the tolerating that does not have line of know how things stand and feel confident of handling them, be legitimate to oneself right abandon. Silent not be gold, silent be unplug the other side the sword pick up that come out comes, thrust oneself chest again. So, although there is such and such problem this in parade, a paragraph of flaw 100 enunciative total have an easy time again impeccable silent. "Be misunderstood to be the fate of all person that convey. " , and be being harmed by the over and over again also is all and silent person fate.
This, chinese organization is organized in order, give out oneself sound to society of complete United States eventually. What we object is not fair trial, however clear double standard. We strive for, not be partial, however the pay of treat equally without discrimination. We are not to want absolve, revolt the victim that lets a Chinese become American phyletic contradiction to mediate stoutly however. Discrimination, it is the seamy side in human the seamy side, it is the fertile soil that animosity creates. We fight the discrimination to the Chinese not just, to the student studying abroad's discrimination, however everything all discrimination. Phonate for bridge police officer today, perhaps will happen with respect to what can avoid to be discriminated against again tomorrow.
That only rotational doorknob the hand that because did not get an apology has,burns hesitation again, that is wrapping around the fun that Tong Yan comes from human the seamy side actually without avoid, na Mei fires the bullet that is rebounded to go out by wall again innocently, that piece of Chinese raises " Justice For All " mark, -- all these everything, actually connective our future. After all, we know very well, we try hard desperately, not be to change this world, change us to do not let this world however.
