一首在全球華人圈子引起哄動的英文詩。詩相傳是出於紐約州立大學水牛城分校榮譽退 &[_g6OL  
休物理學教授 Duo-Liang Lin %!]@J[*1  
的手筆；這位學者表達的是整個中華民族的憤慨 … 以前國弱受欺凌，好不容易開始崛 Hek *R?M|  
起又受敵視，中國人做甚麼都似乎不對，你們西方人究竟想我們怎樣生存？ neB\q[
k  
這首詩近期在網上熱傳，原因是它反映了華人的心態，抒發了華人長期以來的集體壓 nR7d4)  
抑。詩以英文撰寫，又在華盛頓郵報刊登，是受到雙重標準困擾的海外華人向西方偏見 aL*&r~`&e'  
射出的一箭。 y.anl  
西方某些人對中國的敵意與偏見，原因複雜，有中國人自己的缺失，也有種族歧視、有 t;\kR4P  
色眼鏡、利益衝突、以至害怕中國崛起等因素。互聯網是中西交往的重要橋樑，在這種 Olt`:;j-  
情勢之下，如何促進溝通？這首詩實在值得中國人三讀，值得西方人三讀。 Bu#E9hJFvA
