During this semester, we read the book "Fight the Tower" in depth. This weekend's reading is more like a summary of the whole book, as well as the creators' original intention of their own creation and their understanding of "fight". The author mentions a core point that people must stay awakened and put this conscious resistance into action. The article reviews the author's central ideas and the people affected by this core idea. That is the Asian women, and all the persecuted scholars, which is the so-called "our people." The author lists many ways of struggle, such as literature and art, such as establishing a typical image and fighting with various kinds of efforts To shape everyone into an affected community, and encourage people to substantively fight for injustice.
In my opinion, substantive struggle is still a very long process for Asians. The ethnic personality of Asians and their less urgent social status have left many people “unawakened.” But in fact, such resistance is ultimately decentralized and has no major effect. For example, the vast majority of asa 002 are Asian students, and the voice of Asian scholars is still selectively ignored by other races. On the other hand, it is precisely because of the spirit of resistance of the Blacks that the violent protests of the recent days have raised the influence of the race, making them more and more indisputable. Of course, I am not encouraging anti-social riots and attacks on civilians. I just think that sometimes we can learn a little bit about the practices and essence of other races in the civil rights movement, or maybe our situation can change a lot.
