Bugs

幽幽鹿鸣/Yoyoluming


What a soaking rain.


It started around 3:30 in the afternoon, three hours later the thunder is still drumming across the sky.



I begin to worry about the bugs that have been attacking, stealing, marathon eating my flowers, vegetables, and plants daily. How I had wished that they would be all gone in a second, how I had wished that they would eat something poisonous and all dropped dead under the blue sky.


But for some reason I begin to worry about them today. It’s getting dark outside; it’s getting wet and soaked everywhere. Even the annoying mosquitoes will have to go hungry tonight since no one is going out to give them the chance.


Don’t know where the birds are, but toads and tree frogs are out.


The world sometimes is a strange place because it is filled with all kinds of strange beings. We don’t pay too much attention to bugs because we think they are insignificant.


But who is not insignificant in this vast universe? Aren’t we humans bugs after all in the deep woods of the unknown?

Time Comes and Goes

幽幽鹿鸣/Yoyoluming

Today is May 4th. To many it’s just another Friday that has nothing to do with history or reality.

Few people truly understand the significance of Chen Guangcheng’s case. Few people fully grasp the meaning of being able to stand up alone, in a deadly quiet society of stability and harmony.

Chen represents the voiceless, the faceless, the powerless, and the hopeless. Chen has been fighting long enough against the forces representing the evil, the biased, the discriminatory, the abusive, and the privileged. He doesn’t have to be a sacrifice for the society, he doesn’t have to be a fallen hero for others to watch and remember. He doesn’t have the power to change the reality. Yet he fights on. This is why he deserves the kind of attention the whole world is giving him. But it won’t last long.

A political system is the choice of the people. If they choose to survive under the dark cover of lies then they shouldn’t complain about not being able to see the light of truth.
In a society that is filled with tragedies and struggles people have shorter memories. It’s painful to remember and it’s easier to survive in the fast changing reality so that they can move towards the unknown future, although there might not be a real future. But dreams are always sweeter than reality.     

Soon will be June. June is a time that will never be forgotten by many. Yet as long as the young don’t know, June will always begin with the Children’s Day in celebration.
