Comments on the Documentary Film The Tank Man

What are people’s reaction other than praising it as a “great film”, which it rightly deserves? I saw it on the internet and throughout the whole film I have begotten this piercing chill that is as shivering as it is inexplicable. I take it that one can only begot those feeling in two situations, namely, when one’s sent to be executed, or when one’s vicariously sharing the thrilling moment of a birth of a new nation.

There’s another message in the film that’s post-’89 spirited, and that is the current situation of China as a high-voltage and ultra-octane explosive devise that’s bound to trigger off at any second. The current PAX-SINA phenomenal atmosphere is just a mirage that’s shrouded over the pending ominous cataclysm.

This is truly one of the most uneasy and precarious moment we’re experiencing. Everyone’s perplexed about the incredible deeds accomplished by the Reds and how it will continue to hold on in this rapidly changing world?

I was almost in a state of spasm when I see those BeiDa undergrad students (who’re only a few yrs of my minor) ignorantly stultified at the picture of the Tank Man. Understandably, they grew up in a censor-tight insulated society, and inevitably became another generation of the exclusive products of Red Propaganda. However, they don’t represent ALL and they are just a bunch of miserable lambs, just too numerous.

The other side,“China B” (postulated by an European scholar who differentiated the ostensibly neon-lit, urbanized “China A” with the still rustic and primitive countryside of China B) are equally deplorable and beyond salvation. If one thinks you can count on tens of millions of them and regain power, you’re just gonna end up in the same place in 1949!

However, I am a firm believer that History will not forfeit our RACE in the face of the new epic. The redemption of China relies on a small group of those awakened ones, and slowly they will be mature enough to take roots of the soil and proliferate in every facet of the society. In the world of dwarfs, where one’s despaired down to the chilling bone marrows, resurrection is obtained after destruction, an elite troop of “ubermensch” will be incarnated.

May our Great Ancestor be with us and bless our noble destiny.
