some notes from reading

中国人的道德良知的奇缺和审美能力的平庸,主要不是来自外族的阉割,而是国人的自阉。面对民族的落伍,我们有太多自恋式媚态(所谓的地大物博和五千年文化)、太多对异族的怨妇式喋喋不休,泼妇式叫骂和用现代技术包装的暴力美学,而太少内心的明亮和坦荡,故而太缺乏对自身阴毒的警醒自省和健康的悲剧性美感。

——刘晓波

Generally speaking, his way of writing does not coincide with my aesthetical desire, because there are too many quotations contained in his expression. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that he couldn't say something right to the point.
