I still remember how surprise my family
was when we were watching the news about 9/11 attack. Even we were in the other
side of earth, we were afraid of the terrorists. “Bin Laden”, “al-Qaeda” became
words that we discussed everyday at school, even thought I was only six years
old. My impression was so much that, even when I grew up, I got the
informational about Laden’s death from news, I could not believe this horrible
person- a monster- really died.
Times flied. But I still could not forget
the horror of the terrorists. I was afraid someday these terrorists, maybe,
hate China so much and attack us. The fact is, some terrorists did attack
China, but it was not al-Qaeda. In 2014, a terrorist attack was in one of
Chinese cities, Kunming. The incident, targeted against civilians, left 29
civilians and 4 perpetrators dead with more
than 140 others injured. The attack has been called a "massacre" by
some news media. No group or individual stepped forward to claim responsibility
for the attack. Some media like Time and The New York Times reported that
Uyghur Muslims were involved. Our police said it had been linked o Xinjiang
militants. I don't know, this is no the first terrorism Xinjiang militants did.
I remember my parents told me not to stay to close, if I saw some Xinjiang
people in the street.
Every country has terrorism, I guess. There
are so many people in this world and have different opinions on different
issues. It is not weird that some people feel unfair. But if one turns the unfairness
to angriness, and makes a terrorist attacks to hurt the innocent people in
order to “express” angriness. Then this person is a monster, a monster that
every hate and afraid of.
Question: is there any way to eliminate terrorism?
