The Forbidden City is really overcrowded on Sunday by tourists, speaking different languages, taking photos, ohing and ahing at the magnificent architectures-the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony and the Hall of Preserved Harmony.  Who could imagine, however, predecessors of those eye-catching tourists with curled hairs, blue eyes and fair complexion, commonly known as Laowai in China now, 10 decades ago were flocking into the City to rob and smash.  Tz’u-his, the Empress Dowager, fled quickly with her nephew, Emperor Kuang Hsu, and the City was in westerners’ hand.  2 decades ago, on 4^th June there was a big event on the square in front of the City.  Standing on the biggest square in the world, I could find no clues in relation to the event, but only crowds, engaging themselves in feeling the greatness of the nation.  It is said that half the journalists in Peking turned out to be spies when it occurred.  This time they did not come to rob or smash, but made extensive coverage over the event, whose anniversary always stings the sensitive nerve of the Authority.  Soldiers lowered their rifles and many were dead and thousands injured.  There is a sculpture in Hong Kong University, named Guoshang in Chinese, and it is composed of different skulls with pained expressions by putting one dead on the top of another.  When it came into my sight, I connected it with those shocking photos spreading on internet immediately.  You can easily find the event in western politicians’ rhetoric in political news.  They take it as a convincing evidence to criticize the barrenness of democracy or human rights in our nation.  Democracy I think in this specific context is not the key point in the Authority’s shoes.  A western journalist, I still remember, asked the Prime Minister, Jiabao Wen, a question on how to comment on the event when he came to office.  Stabilization is supreme over all, he responded to the question indirectly.  It is definitely obvious that in historical books the Authority makes every endeavor to speak highly of the patriotism of college students in protesting Northern Warlords Government in 1919.  70 years later, what the college students received is a heavy and bloody crackdown.  Ironically?  It is circulated in unofficial history that Mao, the founder of the nation, once said that Lu Xun, well-known for his critical articles targeting Kuomintang’s brutality and rudeness within its governing areas, had better silence himself, or he would be jailed, when he was asked that what would happen if Lun Xun kept writing to criticize the Athority in peacetime.  It is at the core of the Authority to safeguard the stability of its regime, and democracy is only one of the vehicles to materialize the goal of “stability overrides everything”.  It is almost impossible for the Authority to put up with any activity, however pro-democracy or anti-democracy, of doing damage to the unity and completeness, or “harmoniousness”, of the regime.
