这次西藏骚乱，一个很有趣的现象就是，西方媒体一边倒从谴责中国暴力镇压藏民的角度报道事件，而且，很多媒体运用和报道“六四”事件的相同的手法来处理。但可惜的是，这次的事件的起因，性质和国人的反应都跟“六四”有着天壤之别。多的我就不说了，我只想说的是，从这些媒体的反应，我们可以看到什么，为什么他们会这样反应？
众所周知，西方国家民主化和工业化的进程比中国早，经济发达，所以西方人在20世纪以来一直站在经济和道德两个高度上看中国。这种优越感延续了很长的时间，以致深深根植在大多数的西方人心中。中国改革开放以后，西方人经济上的优越感首先受到挑战，中国经济发展迅速，财富积累巨大，虽然跟西方工业国家还有距离，但足以消弭西方人的经济优越感。

刚才德明的同学打电话，哭着告诉我‘do you know that Mr Ho jast passed away?’
我听了一下子呆住了。
这则新闻等在了今天TheStraitsTime头版，他是在马来西亚准备参加AdventureRace的时候，骑山地车跌倒不治身亡的。
当我在德明的时候，他曾经当过我一个学期的 relieve teacher. He was such a nice person… No matter how naughty we were during the class, he was never angry. 还有一次，他开车带我们几个人出去玩。还记得先去Orchard看的电影“RunawayBride”，然后我们提议Mr.Ho,带我们去一个远一点的地方吃东西吧。他竟然开车拉着我们跑去新马第二通道旁边的一家高级餐馆吃晚餐。然后又把我们5个人一个一个送回家。
后来他就再没有教我们了。最后见到他是搬去St.Patrick以后。又一次在东海岸骑车看见他。呵呵，当时他也是去那里骑车的。
他是这样好的一个人，34岁还没有结婚，而事业刚刚小有成就，有待发展的时候，他就这么去了。而我又为什么非要在这个时候才会想起他来呢？
失去了才懂得珍惜。我们的人生中，是不是有很多类似的事情呢？
Mr.Ho, we miss you. Wish you rest in peace.
