I Love China

China’s history
A history of war
of ideas, of literature
The Chinese won’t rashly launch an attack
without cause
Everyone holding to the principle of the counter-strike
China has Daoism
Records of the Peach Blossom Garden
Buddhism took root once it came to China,
showing that the Chinese people
look for an enemy in real life
But the ideal is peace
I am against any large or small country
that imposes upon China
Only in art
do I not have a nationality
That is to say, only after more of China
can there be more of the fucking world

我爱中国

我爱中国

中国的历史
一部战争史
思想史、文学史
中国人没有理由
不会轻易出击
人人牢记后发制人
中国有道家理论
桃花源记
佛教到中国就生了根
说明中国人
在现实中寻找敌人
但理想是和平
我反对任何大国小国
强迫中国
只有在艺术上
我没有国籍
据说越中国
才越他妈世界
Close
