September 2006, Netease.com had a poll, "If there is next life, do you want to become Chinese again". Here's a review by someone returned from the United States: "After all these years struggling in the United States, there are virtually no "dark sides" of capitalism I haven't witnessed. While the only thing I have never seen is adolescent begging for food. Not even in the Subway of Queens and Brooklyn. What about my motherland? Among more than 10,000 who voted, as much as 64% don't want to be Chinese again. The popular reason is "Lack of human dignity". Without freedom of press, media, speech, publication and election, where to obtain dignity!

For more than half a century, tragedies of life and suffering of humanity never ceased in China. Begun with the suppression of "anti-revolutionary rightist", and followed by the 3 years of "Great Leap Forward" during which more than 40 million people starved to death, until the brutal Cultural Revolution and June 4th massacre, Chinese people suffered bitterly deep in the souls. It's very difficult for writers to express themselves and tell their own stories, thus underground literature came into being. Underground literature is part of the "suffering" literature, which could subject writer to police investigation and very possibly lead to jail time. Under the self-closure authoritative regime, people still bravely stand up and fight for democracy and the freedom of speech.

Presently, when the Olympic Games in Beijing is on its way, the government continues to bar free speech. Now China has 30 reporters and 50 Internet writers jailed because they reported the truth. According to credible resources, so far China has asked at least two American-owned hotels to install devices and automatically check on the Internet content browsed by visitors. This shows that Beijing has intensified suppression of freedom of the press.

In the world of One-party dictatorship, independent thinking are eliminated and repressed, and people are brutally reformed and brain washed. Oh, for the suffering Chinese people, where is the road to freedom? Quoting a renowned saying by Qu Yuan, "The road is long and I will make all efforts to push forward".
