Where are you?

Where are you now, Monica?

You have been away for so long a time that you should return now. I don’t know what has happened to you or what are you busy with?

It was so boisterous when you are here. We can hear different voices. But now here it becomes a clammy, stagnant place. The monotony and stagnant atmosphere combine to let me down. After writing each article I have been waiting for you to have a comment on.

What I would like to listen is a different voice. As Chinese we were born here in China, brought up here, educated here. What we see, read, or are taught is always the same thing. So I like different voices. They are not only fresh, but also make our mind open up to the outside.

There should be no final judgment that one’s opinion is right or wrong. No one should make any hasty generalizations. We should put forward our opinions and wait for others to show their own. We write and let others write. I think this is democracy.
