we live in the lack of love and don't know it.

for decades we live in the margins of the world, being used to negligence and forgetfulness. over the taiwan strait, we call you 'bandits' and you call us 'bandits'. we hate each other. deeply. you keep on declaring that you are going to rinse taiwan with blood, and we keep on buying new weapons from the states.


we learn how to threaten each other, being bold enough to make claims about what we will do in case this or that happens. we are getting more and more alike, unwittingly, because of this mutual hatred.

if they honestly tell us, how many communists have the nationalist killed? and how many families and relatives of the nationalists' got killed after nationalists' retreat to taiwan? was it really 4 million? was the death toll during the civil war really 11 million? when the nationalist and communist were in battles with each other for the ultimate power, how many people had paid the price?

as taiwan and china are busy striking deals to 'earn the rest of the world's money' together, have the two thought about the number of people who are simultaneously starving and dying in the _communist bandits' land_? what have they done to provide the basic living condition for people who keep on picking up the bills of the country's power contentions?

we live in the lack of love and curiously feel nothing about it.
