FREEDOM!

It sounds like the aspire of a man in a military service. I'm out of the service so that's not what I am talking about. What I mean is the freedom of the information, which means getting any info you want without any limitation. It's not a big problem in Taiwan, but in china, it really is.

That's how I feel about this great country: always controlling the info, trying not to let any "negative news" about the country leak to the common. Take two things for example. It was banned here because it broadcast the video clip about a police beating the protesting people of Tibet, and Oasis's concerts on Beijing and Shanghai were cancelled because they backed independence of Tibet. All these things sound ridiculous to me.

Getting news from the source out of the government is mission impossible. CCTV is the only choice. website? Don't waste the hopes on it because there's a great machine and mechanism behind it to filter everything. Everything not in its flavor, bang! They ban it. That's how it works.

Now I understand what I read in 1984. The big brother is everywhere. We all know the country growing faster than any other countries. But I also wish the other parts can catch up, and the freedom of info will be the short cut.
