Chinese national pride was evident in abundance at City Hall Square on Monday evening as hundreds of Chinese immigrants gathered to show their support for Denmark’s participation in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. With music playing and banners and flags waving, many Chinese living in Denmark spoke to reporters of how a boycott was the wrong approach to take against a China that in their eyes has come along way in recent years. ‘China has changed dramatically in the past ten years, and it’s moving in the right direction,’ Ai Hua Yan, who fled China during the ‘Cultural Revolution’ of the late 60s and early 70s, told Politiken newspaper. ‘Everyone wants democracy, but it takes time.’ Wei Cheng Hedenskog, who came to the demonstration with her daughter, said she did not understand all the talk of a boycott against the Olympic Games. ‘The Chinese are very hurt by it,’ she said, as tears rolled down her face. ‘It’s very unbecoming and you should never mix politics with the Olympics.’ Xuepeng Yin agreed and referred to his banner which read, ‘Make the Olympics a bridge not a wall’. ‘It’s better to participate in the Olympic Games and try to affect the leaders,’ he said. ‘A boycott doesn’t help anyone.’ (RC) |
一次成功的支持奥运游行
以下内容转自哥本哈根邮报，事实上，丹麦人把此次活动更加看成是中国移民们对丹麦目前通过的不抵制奥运会的声援。百年来中国人第一次走上丹麦的街头游行。而且可以看出，丹麦的媒体对此报道的态度是肯定的。对此次活动同样进行正面报道的有24timer。最近游行实在是太多，同日，巴士司机也在罢工，声援，医护工作者。新闻太多，难免影响此次活动的报道。
而且，对丹麦人来说，游行就跟吃饭一样正常。关注的人，自然也不会多的。
