can you imagine taking more than 2 kids to school every morning on a crazily crowded bus in beijing?

can you imagine your parents in law force you to have more babies until they get a boy, otherwise, you will face the threat of divorce, and the one child policy is actually your only legal weapon/excuse to fight against that tradition?

if you have no idea what im talking about, forget it and stop judging us based on your spacious life style in the so called developed countries. the existing chinese people also deserve living like you, to live like a real human being. if you think it is cruel to kill a life at conception, have you ever thought that it is also very cruel to torture a human being by putting him/her in such an inhuman living environment for his/her whole life.

btw, R.Elgin: if you decide to let your “Romulus and Remus” babies raised by wolves in the forest, not sharing the public resources, such as schools, buses, hospitals and etc. i bet the chinese government will leave you alone and might award you for your great contribution to the chinese society.

Best of fortune to Zuola.

here is my translation for zola’s blog:

我到家没多久，来了两个年轻人到我家问路，说是听说谁违反了计划生育，问我们知不知道这个人的名字。我们都说没听过这个人的名字，建议他去别的地方问问。他们走了十多分钟后又回来了，这次说是要找管计划生育的妇女主任，说是要考察妇女主作任的工作做得怎么样。然后我让他们去同村的小组长那里去打听。
soon after i came home, two young people came to my house to ask for directions. they asked if we (my family) had heard of a particular person (name not included in blog) who had violated the one child policy. we all said no, and we suggested that they ask around. ten minutes after they left, those same two people came back saying that they were looking for the female supervisor of the local one child policy bureau. they said they wanted to check on how well her office had been doing their job, and i advised them to check with the village official.

结果先后来了四个政府的人，一对是找被举报违反计划生育的人
as a result, there were four government people in all who came by, two at a time. the first pair were the ones who were looking for the person who violated the one child policy.

上午借口来找计划生育违归的俩人同保卫处长一起来的，果然是冲我来的。
(later i realized) the two government people who came with the excuse of finding the one child policy violator were actually coming for me.

so my comment is if you just read that one sentence that was quoted, i can understand how it is not very clear who is under suspicion of violating the one child policy. it is definitely not stated that zola was arrested under suspicion of violating the one child policy. it was actually a ruse for those government people to talk to zola and his family to get some information.

you cut this little piece of information from a whole paragraph of explaining who the two visitors are and twisted the fact. i dont know why you are doing this? if it is because of your poor chinese reading ability, maybe you can consider hiring a better translator, or pay me to do this translation for you.

if you just want to twist the fact to get more hits for this pathetic fact, (by making the chinese government sound unbelievably stupid and ridiculous to charge an unmarried person without kids for violating the one child policy. i guess they have bad enough reputation in the western press anyways, by making something up to exaggerate a bit more wont make any difference), what can i say?

“But why no comment about Zuola? Perhaps you don’t care about him because he’s not a member of your family, and thus of complete inconsequence to you. I’d be grateful for some insight into this matter.”

I have an opinion, but it is only an opinion. But as for someone who favors dissent yours might differ from mine a bit.

The way I see it, the ultra-nationalists don’t give a crap b/c he is not a team player — well, at least not the team they are rooting for.

At the same time, “other people” don’t care because they can’t use him or his cause as a weapon. Cynical it may be, but ultimately this is probably the only value of the “dissenting voices” to the jackals outside.

Plus, who’s this Zoula fellow again? And what’s he’s cause again?

But why no comment about Zuola? Perhaps you don’t care about him because he’s not a member of your family, and thus of complete inconsequence to you. I’d be grateful for some insight into this matter.

We’re pulling for you, Zuola. Keep up the fight.

L’avantage des JO de Pékin, c’est que, malgré les efforts du Parti pour enrober de sucre la répression intérieure, les agissements de l’Etat policier chinois peuvent être filmés par la presse internationale.

Ainsi, l’arrestation du journal…
