Yes, I agree. You definitely have every right to say the above. Back
then, Chinese including myself were all mother ****ers. Why? Because
we had no money and no guts. We did not dare to say or do anything
even if we wanted to. So, your anger is fully justified. I have
nothing to say except giving you my full sup****t in condemning
ourselves, but please remember one thing, your suffering is also our
humiliation.
