37、激情的膨胀,有部分学生对ZD分子动了拳头.就是因为这个,给韩国媒体一个盼望已久的反华机会。还有,现场那些ZD分子,自己带来了改锥,扳手,石块等凶器,卻对着镜头说是中国学生袭击他们。最近,韩国新闻中不断播出那些“暴力镜头”和一些所谓的凶器证据,然后说我们的暴力严重影响了韩国国民的爱国自尊心。现在,韩国政府居然要求中国就此道歉。媒体,政府是一片讨伐的声音,韩国人民当然也对中国人的憎恨到达了极限。他们已经在网上公布了那天带头“闹事”的中国学生的姓名,学校,电话号码等资料。据说,很多中国学生现在手机都不敢开,因为总有人会打恐吓电话,或是乱骂。我们现在晚上都不敢出门,因为很难保证路上遇见韩国人,会挨打什
38、么的。前一阵子就有韩国学生嘴里喊着“打的就是中国人”而故意把清州一个中国学生给打了。现在27号这么一闹,中国留学生在韩国真是处境太危险了。因为韩国人不像西方人那样,懂得人权,平等什么的,他们其实就是随便动拳头的莽夫。比如,在美国的中国人可以去CNN门口示威,只要有分寸,是合法的,美国人也不能怎么样。可是在韩国,这不可能。他们会野蛮的动用武力。27号,我们学校一个学生只是在ZD份子面前举起了国旗,就被警察当作闹事者制服了。所以,我们在韩国不能像在美国或者别的国家那样自由的争取权利和尊重。现在,韩国警方已经把几个留学生带走了,好像说要严惩。各个学校的学生会长和一些留学生负责人也遭到人生安全的恐吓。
39、韩国人说要让中国人看看,他们也不是好惹的。还有人悬赏捉住我们带头的那几个留学生。我们只是出来留学的人,平时在韩国受尽他们的鄙视和侮辱不说,就算是支援圣火传递的那一天,表达自己的爱国情绪,到最后都是这样的结果。这么一来,中国学生在韩国,只能越来越危险,越来越没有地位。我是女生,也许还稍微好一点。我想提醒在韩国所有的留学生们,尤其是男生。在晚上或者是中国人少的地方,一定要保护自己的安全,不要随便的和韩国人发生冲突,否则,受伤害的只有我们。韩国的中国大使馆门口现在已经每天都被韩国示威的人们包围了。使馆的人们也很危险。但是,中国一定不能道歉。我们正当爱国,我们没有错,凭什么道歉?大使馆要是不能保护留学生的安全,以后还有谁敢在国外爱国?留学生在国外,始终是弱势群体,媒体的不公正报道,导致国民仇恨心理,最后受害的只有我们。请大家务必冷静,不要正面冲突。
