Liu Xiaobo’s life and death depend on Xi Jinping’s thoughts
Xue Wei
Righteous people all over the world and all overseas democrats, whether those who followed Liu Xiaobo’s “Charter 08” in the past or those who strongly criticized Liu Xiaobo’s “no enemies” argument, are now mobilizing to worry about Liu Xiaobo’s condition and appeal to the CCP to save Liu Xiaobo. Liu Xiaobo’s life and death depend on Xi Jinping’s thoughts.
Revolution comes from humanity, and conscience creates law. Liu Xiaobo put forward the concept of “I have no enemies” out of his profound philosophical and religious thoughts. Just as Wang Bingzhang believes that “first forgiveness” must be implemented after China’s democratization, this is the ambition of a truly great politician. Today, at this moment when this democratic martyr who tolerates the world is in danger, whether the world will return his mercy is a test of human nature, conscience and the wisdom of a leader who claims to pursue the pursuit of a better society.
Recalling that 28 years ago, Liu Xiaobo left his position as editor-in-chief of “China Spring” and resolutely returned to China to join the 1989 democracy movement. In the United Nations Square, people sang a farewell song for him: “Go, brother! Go, brother! I hope your bright red blood, bright red blood, will burst out the flower of freedom. Bloom all over China, bloom all over China, go, brother! Brother, go…” How tragic and touching, I hope this song is like Liu Xiaobo’s “I will not go to hell.” The martyrdom spirit of “who will go to hell” can awaken the awakening of 1.4 billion compatriots.
What we in the pro-democracy movement can do now is not to use violent means to fight, but to turn to the international community for help, and to implore all people, including the CCP, who still have conscience, to change their hearts with their hearts and move people with virtue. If Xi Jinping can really comply with people’s hearts and be open-minded, even if it is just from a humanitarian standpoint, save a life and send Liu Xiaobo to overseas for medical treatment, as a lifelong anti-communist pro-democracy activist, I will also remember Xi’s good deeds, look at Zhongnanhai and say thank you!
