Thanks! These kind people bring tears to my eyes! - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/22/2008
恕我不敬,在这个时候想起来问这么一句:
中国为什么会有那么多乞丐?!
想起了七格的《百米巨人的世界》,,,, - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
To me, these pictures are more like the accusations of this "harmonious society", are they not? - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
Come on guys, be real! Didn't you know there were many beggars in China, like those homeless people in the US?
You are missing the point. - posted on 05/23/2008

嘿嘿,guanzhong, I think the point of the pictures is obvisous and no one would miss that: their compassion and dignity. The beggars in China however aren't the same as those in the States. Do you see kids begging in the streets here, handicaped kids? Do you see many elders? I have to say that I have mixed feelings seeing these photos. The beggers are outcast of the socielty and are usually way below the radar of media. I hope these pictures will have more effect than merely moving people to tears. If part of the earthquake donation has to be diverted somewhere else, look no further. - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
I wonder how many people won't feel saddened looking at these pictures. This is less an education in kindness than a revelation of the downtrodden and the problems of this society.
The homeless here are no less a mockery of this richest country of the world.

Of course we all know perfectly well that others also know, including everybody said above. Any point in a post could be related to whatever other points. But a point is a point, although its interpretation and association can be totally different, depending on the experience and way of thinking of the reader. The point of the first post has already been lost, a common culture of internet age.

Actually I see a little more than the sadness in the pictures, something more positive and encouraging. - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
Very shocking & touching, the sight of the disabled and deprived, and the love flowing out from their disfigured and distressed form...
The fact that panhandlers are now in a position to donate is an indication that they, too, are being taken care of by an increasingly caring society.

今天晚上有人上门,让我们捐钱,是为了给洛杉矶建第四个青少年 homeless shelter 的。我们捐了一点。平时经常有人来我们这里上门募捐,我们一般都会捐一些。朋友参加各种义举,治癌症的、治白血病的、治爱滋的,我们也捐一些。网上看到那国内被家长遗弃的婴儿、爱滋儿童、希望小学啥的,我们也都捐一些。不多,都是几十块钱的事。前不久读了不少关于孤儿的小说,想找一间孤儿院去探望,看看我能做些什么。
这次地震我一直没看新闻,因为平时我也不看新闻。我心太软,很容易受影响,死一个人我都会伤心很久,何况那么多人呢。只是我每天访问玛雅咖啡和文学城,看到大量的关于地震的讨论的标题,其中大多数是关于捐款的,就猜到了一些。我的一个朋友天天打电话来,给我讲述她如何在学校和幼儿园等机构募捐的事,又因为卖点心,跟学校的中国同学会发生了冲突。我父母也打电话来跟我讲各种新闻故事,还写了诗寄来,我都不敢读。后来为了不让他们觉得我没同情心,我也上网捐了一点。我觉得这次地震捐款的事好象规模特别巨大,而且从新闻标题上看,人们对捐款的事比地震的事还要重视,都是成千上万的捐。我还看到关于捐款的好笑的事。
看了这组照片(是我看到的唯一关于地震的照片,其它照片不敢看),尤其是照片中其他人的衣着和表情,真的很心酸。我很想把我捐的钱拿回来,捐给这几个乞丐。
我不知道,洛杉矶的那些无家可归的少年,是不是更需要我的支持?
同情心应该是怎样的呢?我是觉得每一条生命都值得珍惜,值得同情。 - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
我的感受是,怜悯与同情其实是一种奢侈。
虽然我一直做一些捐赠帮助弱势群体,但我对捐赠一直有节制与选择的心态。
网上大家呼吁不要搞捐款攀比,这从另一个侧面反映怜悯与同情是一种奢侈。

那个乞丐患的病叫做“重症肌萎缩”,肌肉从下肢开始向上萎缩,没有治疗的办法,活不过25岁。这可怜的孩子在他极其有限和痛苦的生命中,发了一次光。 - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
这一次灾难之前,党的喉舌宣传的是和谐盛世,下层平民看到的是炎凉世事,通过地震民众的良心被唤醒,下一步就看上层社会的智慧和胆识了。 - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
若干年前在上海街头看到这样的人在街上爬着,看见路人毫不在乎,心里很是一震。后来问了一下,说是这样的人有不少,背后有人组织着搞乞讨甚至行骗。听了以后心里又是一下余震。和谐社会! - Re: 刚收到的一封邮件,图片太多,就Snag了下来posted on 05/23/2008
美国穷人相对而言要幸运的多。圣诞期间报上常有美国穷人的wish list。有年我瞅了瞅,发现上有洗衣机、电子游戏机等。纳税人已经交了税,让许多“穷人”有空闲时间可能坐在家里看电视。现在他们还想呆坐在家里FULL TIME地玩电玩。什么道理!?别的我可以接受,最不能接受的是我自己没工夫玩电玩,却眼睁睁地看着别人呆在家里玩,而且想玩多久玩多久。
中国的弱势群体,才是真正需要帮助的。

中国有些要饭的很 aggressive, 在北京街头曾被坐在地上的讨饭女孩抓住腿不放,不给钱不放人。
中国的弱势群体远不止在城里要饭的。广大农村(特别是边远地区)贫穷农民还是人口的大多数,城里人没见过就是了。
