建立个人博客的初衷 [Why I build my personal blog?]

缘起之衷 [The reason for build my personal blog]

What is freedom? Freedom is not the ability to do whatever we want—that’s privilege! Rather, it is the ability to say no to anything we shouldn’t or don’t want to do. What is freedom? Freedom is not denying any form of happiness; it means your way can be happy, and my way can be happy, and we bless each other as long as no one gets hurt. What is freedom? It is the freedom to express opinions, uphold contracts, and ensure that people cannot be coerced—that is freedom.

Since childhood, I have firmly believed that I am safe only when everyone is safe, I am wise only when everyone is wise, and I am prosperous only when everyone is prosperous. But after ten years in society, when my vague worries and beautiful fantasies were shattered when I needed protection, my sense of security disappeared.

Who will protect my freedom? Who will uphold the dignity of the law? Who can save me? The answer is no one can. Only if we join hands, shoulder to shoulder, to uphold justice in the system, fight for equal access to knowledge, protect each other’s common rights, and resolutely battle against the selfishness and greed that try to dominate everything, can we have the chance to live a happy and safe life.

什么是自由？自由绝不是可以做任何我们想做的事，那叫特权！而是我们可以对任何我们不该做也不想做的事说不。什么是自由？自由绝不是否定任何一种幸福的方式，而是你的方式可以幸福，我的方式也可以幸福，在不伤害彼此的前提下，我们相互祝福。什么是自由？表达意见的自由，维护契约的自由，人民不可被胁迫，即自由。

我从小就坚信，大家都安全的时候，我才安全。大家都智慧的时候，我才智慧。大家都富裕时候，我才富裕。但是步入社会十年之后，当我隐隐的担忧和美好的幻想都在我需要保护时破灭了，我的安全感便消失了。

谁来保护我的自由？谁来维护法律的尊严？谁能来救救我？答案是没有人可以。只有我们手牵手肩并肩，一起维护制度的正义，共同为知识平权，保护彼此的共同权利，坚决一致的与自己和他人企图凌驾一切的私心和贪欲斗争！才有机会过上幸福而安全的一生。

缘起之由 [Why I decide to stop being silent?]

Some people are always worrying about nothing, and I might be a mild case among them. When I see the social issues and the injustices and tragedies that unfold, I can’t help but worry that I might also be harmed. Although the outcomes dishearten me, I choose to remain silent.

The method of solving problems is to silence those who raise them, and I cannot accept this result in my heart. At first, the suggestions people made disappeared, then the news disappeared, and finally, the people themselves vanished. I was confused about what was happening, but I chose to remain silent.

In my years of work, I’ve seen leaders arbitrarily interpret regulations and company rules, ignore established standards to punish employees more severely, and penalize everyone for the mistakes of one person. Rules set in the morning can change by the afternoon, and different people committing the same mistake don’t receive the same punishment. Yet, I still chose to remain silent.

When the system fails for some, it fails for all. When our interests are constantly being eroded, can I still remain silent?

有些人总是杞人忧天，我可能也是其中的轻症患者。当关注到社会热点和身边发生的不公平和不正义的悲剧时，我总会担心自己也会受到伤害。虽然结局让我心寒，但我选择沉默。

解决问题的方法，是解决提出问题的人，我内心无法接受这样的结果。开始，大家发表的建议消失了，然后，新闻消失了，最后，人也不见了。我很困惑，到底发生了什么？但是我选择沉默。

在自己多年工作中，领导们可以任意解读法规和公司规章，可以无视规定的高于标准的处罚员工，可以因为一人犯错而让大家全部受罚，早上的规定下午可以变，不同的人犯同样的错误，却不是同样的处罚。我还是选择沉默。

当制度对一部分人失效时，制度就已经失效了。当我们的利益不断被侵蚀，我还能保持沉默吗？

起初他们…

Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.
Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.
Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,habe ich nicht protestiert; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.
Als sie die Juden holten,habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude.
Als sie mich holten,gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—
and there was no one left to speak for me.

起初，纳粹抓共产党人的时候，我沉默，因为我不是共产党人。
当他们抓社会民主主义者的时候，我沉默，因为我不是社会民主主义者。
当他们抓工会成员的时候，我沉默，因为我不是工会成员。
当他们抓犹太人的时候，我沉默，因为我不是犹太人。
最后当他们来抓我时，再也没有人站起来为我说话了。

人人都大声说话，社会的阴影就会无处躲藏，请记住，你的呐喊很重要！

If everyone speaks up loudly, the shadows of society will have nowhere to hide. Remember, your voice matters!
