rebirth of change

Thanks to the leadership and organization of Los Angeles, long fan associations in large and medium cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Miami, Cincinnati, Little Rock, and Detroit have responded that they cannot participate in the demonstration on the 26th. There is no time to organize, but they will definitely participate in the national activities of 'Day, and they will participate as many people as they can organize.

By the time Rahil woke up on the morning of April 4, those photos had already been widely circulated among the media.The thing has already happened, so there is no need to stop it, and she thinks what her husband said last night is very reasonable.Therefore, he did not bring up this matter with Fan Wenxuan again, but when he went to see Chen Kangjie again, he asked suggestively, and Chen Kangjie's answer was only one sentence, "Actually, I like this country quite a lot, and I also believe in American society. It's fair, it's relatively safe here, and the society isn't turbulent."

Although Chen Kangjie was evaluating the American social environment, the meaning was vaguely clear. Rahil, who graduated from Harvard University, understood it as soon as he heard it, and immediately put his worry back in his stomach.

It's just that their treatment today was not very good. The meeting with Chen Kangjie was shortened to 2 minutes, and they were required to be searched and checked before entering.And when Charles met with them today, he just got angry, not only saying that they were unprofessional, but also scolding them for helping others.

After Chen Kangjie's photo appeared on the TV media, Charleston became even more anxious, and the pressure of various criticisms and accusations came one after another.Of course they knew that it was John Baker and Rachel who were responsible, so there was no way to be polite to them. Anyway, even if they got angry with them, they would have nothing to do. The other party's protest would be useless, and no one would testify to them.

Angry is angry, uncomfortable is uncomfortable, Charles still has to find a way to resolve this matter.In the past few days, since lawyers came to see them every day, they didn't do too much to the detainees, and they didn't want to leave too much ground.But after this photo was exposed, they had to take some flexible measures.

On the other side of the ocean, too many people expressed concern and distress over what happened to Chen Kangjie.CCTV just broadcast Chen Kangjie's photo. Ma Fangqin, who has been following the news for the past two days, burst into tears when she saw it. Her family persuaded her for a long time before letting her temporarily stop the car.

The tears stopped, but the complaints on his lips did not idle. He kept asking Chen Qigang to find a way, saying that he, a vice-ministerial official, why didn't he play a role.

This is what Chen Qigang thinks of a way?How to tell him to play a role?If the incident happened in China, then he might still be able to do something different, but this happened in the United States, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come forward, so what else can he do.

In order not to let Ma Fangqin continue to worry, Chen Qigang had to agree that he would find a way to communicate with the central government and pray that they would come forward to make Chen Kangjie safe and sound.

That being said, Chen Qigang who returned to the office could only be in a daze.It's not that he really didn't think about calling his superiors and asking them to use the government's influence.But after careful consideration, he still gave up. Given the relationship between Chen Kangjie and Zhao Zhibang, how could the higher-ups ignore it?

Chen Qigang thought to himself, since the diplomatic agencies have come forward and CCTV has also reported it, it means that the higher-ups are aware of this and they are trying to find a way.Sino-US relations are the top priority in our country's diplomatic relations. It is an expression of attitude that diplomatic institutions can speak so seriously.The reason why there are no further measures above may be due to other considerations, or to maintain the overall situation of Sino-US relations.

Chen Qigang sat listlessly in the office all day, and all inspections and meetings throughout the day were cancelled.The colleagues in the team naturally knew about it, so no one bothered him with work problems.

Under the attention of the domestic media, social public opinion continues to ferment.The biggest manifestation is that a large number of people go to protest and demonstrate every day at the US embassy in China at No. 3 Xiushui North Street in the first embassy area outside Jianguomen, as well as many domestic consulates, and the number of people is increasing. Young people are the majority, but many middle-aged and elderly people, and even many foreigners can easily be found in the crowd, which has never happened in previous demonstrations.

Protests and demonstrations are very difficult things in China. Unless the government allows it, otherwise it is almost impossible to happen. Even if it happens occasionally, someone will have to bear the responsibility and pay the price for it.

However, although the government did not expressly agree to the protests that occurred two days ago, it did not stop them either.

The number of protesters who appeared in front of the embassy in China on the first day was only a few hundred or nearly a thousand people, but the next day, at least 2000 people gathered at the gates of the major consulates in China. 5000 demonstrators with various slogans.

People's slogans are various, "Resolutely defend Chen Kangjie", "Down with US imperialism", "Oppose racial discrimination", "Resist US judicial persecution", and so on, all of them attack the United States.In the past two days, the US embassies have been unable to work normally, not only because the doors are blocked and there are so many voices, but also because at least they have thrown an unknown number of eggs, rotten leaves, plastic bottles, and stinky fruits.It was filthy and stinking.Fortunately, the armed police stopped them, otherwise these angry people would have rushed in and smashed them.

Although the highest level of the government did not directly come forward, they used this method to put pressure on the US.

The United States can withstand domestic protests in China, but their own domestic protests are not so easy to deal with.

In the early morning of the 26th, under the unified organization of the Los Angeles Lobster Organization, with the active participation of Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and other big stars, the Wilshere Boulevard was crowded with people. There are so many slogans, but almost everyone has a poster of Chen Kangjie in their hands. This is printed by the Lobster Organization. They are distributed for free at [-] locations in the city center, which also shows their intention. If it has nothing to do with politics, it is to demand the release of Chen Kangjie. <The reporter looked down from the helicopter shot in the live broadcast. The entire Wilshere Boulevard and the lawn opposite the Los Angeles Federal Building were full of dark crowds, layer by layer, wave after wave, extending to the opposite Constitution. avenue.

Or it is related to the political atmosphere and political culture in the United States. There is always an open space at the entrance of large government agencies and departments for people to gather and express their voices.Like Capitol Hill in Washington and the entrance to the White House, there is also a long strip of lawn at the entrance of the Federal Building in Los Angeles, which is divided into two by Constitution Avenue, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

Today this is the main battlefield of the demonstrators protesting.

Due to the iconicity of this place, there are often protests, but in the past, the scale was not large. Dozens of people are the most common, and hundreds of people can be seen from time to time. If the number exceeds a thousand, or even thousands of people, Then it may not be possible to see once in a few years.But today's demonstrations and protests are much larger, as can be seen from the report of the cnn TV announcer who is broadcasting live on the helicopter.

"...I am reporting live from the sky above the San Diego Freeway. The weather today is very clear and the field of vision is very wide. I can see all the people below from the sky, from Sepulveda Boulevard all the way Continuing to Veterans Avenue, you can see on the left that Constitution Avenue is already full of people... The traffic around the entire Federal Building except the San Diego Expressway below me can still be used smoothly, and several other arterial roads are all interrupted , in my memory, only the number of anti-war demonstrators against the Vietnam War could reach such a scale. I made an estimate on it... At least 6 demonstrators have arrived so far, and they look far away , and you can still find that people are still coming. Although the number of people is large, they are still stable and orderly, and people are holding large posters of long in their hands... Oh, we saw people from the Wilshire Boulevard Another team of police cars drove over from the east side of the avenue. In response to today’s protest demonstrations, the Los Angeles police were dispatched almost entirely. It is reported that the operations department in the Parker Center has been withdrawn. According to the reports received from the ground... The police deployed 21 police officers on the scene, leaving half of the [-] districts of Los Angeles in a state of police force..." Due to the strong wind on the plane and the noise of the propellers, the body leaned out of the plane Even though the middle-aged male announcer outside was wearing earphones, not only did he have to speak slowly, but also loudly, and sometimes even paused.

"... I'm Martinez, a reporter from the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), and I'm doing a live report for you at the entrance of the Federal Building in Los Angeles. After the incident of Long's arrest was exposed, the whole society has caused a lot of trouble People have mixed opinions on this matter, but yesterday morning, after the photos of Long in the detention room of the white building behind me were released to the public, the society became one-sided. Today, tens of thousands of local people gathered here Protests were issued at the entrance of the Federal Building. The news said that they were planned and implemented by Long’s fan group, the Lobster Organization. They received support and responses from many big Hollywood stars. I met Tom Hanks just now, and he said that he and Long are Friends, he does not believe that Long is the planner or implementer of the bombing. His purpose here is to hope that the authorities can release Long... There are too many people here. Through the lens, you can see There are people behind me, and on the opposite side, there are a large number of police officers and riot police. Look there, everyone... Can you see it? All wheeled armored vehicles are here. It seems that today's situation is really true It's grim...."
