A SPECIAL MEDIA IS NEEDED IN CHINA

    New Roman" size=4>On reading some of the discussions here, I am just caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. I want to express my thoughts and ideas freely. However, I have met so many setbacks and frustrations.

   Once I gave a lecture on taking better care of the teachers and students, since they are under so much pressure from all sides of the society. After the lecture I was directly reported to the leaders. I am now in a fright of being persecuted in one way or the other.

    Frankly I said nothing with evil meanings or malicious intentions. My lecture was mainly based on the material I had gleaned in my working experience. I was only too much concerned about the health conditions of both the teachers and the students. I have been suffering from a heartattack for a long time, which partly derives from a burdernsome work. After the lecture a leader immediately said that I was not so positive in my views and he gave a clue that I was not a qualified a teacher even.

    There are a lot of rules and regulations. We would be deemed unqualified if we utter any complaints or grievances. I think people should give vent to their stifling emotions, otherwise they will suffer from some kind of disease. In Japan, any staff can beat a mimic leader--a sculpture in a special room to release them of the mental burden. It should be accepted by all that no matter how well a leader has performed his duties, there will be complaints. But in China rarely are there leaders, especially leaders at the rudimentary level can look on this as human nature. The least unfavourable words will make them angry and take reprisals.

    However, I don't mean in China everything is unfair to everyone. China is a big country with a long history of feudal rule. As is known to all the residuals may not be eradicated completely. There is so large a population in China. Too much democracy may arouse internal strifes as happening now in other parts of the world. What I want to say is that so many people have gone too far. They regard the leadership as their divine gift from heaven and they can make unscrupulous use of it. In a sense the leadership has become dictatorship.

    I think that it is better for China to have a media independant of government inspection. Everyone can go there and make complaints. I don't think it will do harm to the government rule. It will only be a psychological therapy. I don't think there will be human resources to cope with the managment work since there are too many pentup complaints in the society.
