一个人在纽约抗议藏独
前阵子在纽约上映了一部电影《最后的达赖喇嘛？》（“The Last Dalai Lama?”）。
这部电影的导演是MickeyLemle，一名业界有资历的纪录片导演，跟拍达赖喇嘛很多年，据说和达赖有很深的交情。这是部给美国人看的典型藏独宣传片，着重于描述达赖作为佛教大师在玄学上的高超造诣，和藏独分子在中国遇到的不公平待遇。

众所周知，达赖喇嘛在美国人民心中是爱和正义的化身，很多美国人甚至不知道达赖是哪国人，只知道他是众多鸡汤的作者。
出于心血来潮和民族主义的感召，我决定在八月五日下午7:05《最后的达赖喇嘛？》场次开始前在电影院门口抗议藏独运动。
抗议的目的是为了让看这部电影的人知道，世上并不是所有人都持有和他们一样的观点。至于能否改变一些人的观点，我不抱任何希望。毕竟抗议这件事本身更多是抗议者自身的一种发泄。
抗议期间我用相机拍摄了许多驻足的市民，他们有些充满敌意，有些敬佩我的勇气。但大多数人是茫然的，可能他们从未见过站在中国立场上的抗议吧。
我入场观看了电影。在放映结束后的导演问答环节，和导演进行了十来分钟的采访。
抗议前
我首先制作了一张抗议藏独的海报。海报背景是一张黑白偏黄的中国地图，边框为红色，海报正中用白字红底书写了“Tibet Belongs to China”，字体为Gillsans Bold Italic。整体设计借鉴了艺术家Barbara Kruger。

抗议开始前，我在唐人街的一家打印店用较硬的海报纸打印了两张海报。打印出来的成品大概是四张A4纸那么大。打印店的小姐姐非常专业，反倒是我有些尴尬，让别人知道自己的政治观点有种被看穿了似的的感觉。
因为担心开始抗议后电影院会拒绝卖票给我，到达电影院后我首先购买了电影票。我找到了挂在电影院门口的达赖电影的海报，举起自己做的海报开始抗议（也就是默默地站着）。
由于这是我第一次进行抗议，我一开始浑身上下都不自在。来来往往的人群里也鲜有注视我的。对于纽约这样一座三天两头都有抗议的城市，大多数居民对于抗议其实是麻木的。再加上藏独也不是什么大新闻，我的抗议实际上和美国人没有太大关系。
随着离电影开始的时间越来越近，有越来越多对这部电影感兴趣的观众看到了我的海报，但大多数也只是和友人对我指指点点，没有和我进行交流。
总的来说，我感受到了很多恶意。对于美国人来说，支持民族自治独立是政治正确。大多数美国人认为达赖喇嘛是一个至善完美的领袖，而我们中国则是对领土贪得无厌的恶人。对于一个生在这样的政治环境里的人，想要跳出这种定式是很困难的。甚至连我自己在抗议过程中也感受到了巨大的压力，是需要努力才能坚持自己的观点的。
以下是我拍摄的照片。照片里人们愤怒或不解的眼神是望向我的，同时也是望向所有反对藏独的同学们的。
我回应说你才TM被洗脑了。这样来回了很久。

就在电影要放映前几分钟。有市民领着工作人员要求我离开，他给出的原因是我在拍摄路人。工作人员向我说明了在这里抗议没问题，但你不能拍摄，要不然就叫警察了。我本想怼回去：在公共场所拍摄只要不用作商业用途是不违法的。但为了避免不必要的麻烦，我还是收起了海报进入了电影院。
与导演的交流
电影本身的质量我就不多谈了。都是些老掉牙的东西，什么达赖在世上的目的是为了帮助大家摆脱痛苦，他们不恨中国人，中国人有多坏……让我觉得哭笑不得的是，这个导演的想法非常神棍，他认为藏传佛教是一个有2500年历史的研究人内心的科学，没听错，是科学！在纪录片里他拍摄了达赖和心理学学者的合作，从“古老”的藏传佛教中寻找人类心理和性格的规律等等，槽点颇多。
电影放映结束之后，导演出来和大家见面，进行问答。我本来是想问他，达赖喇嘛是中国中央政府给予西藏的称号，一直以来都是需要中国政府确认的。现在中央政府要取消达赖转世又有什么问题？但他没有叫到我，而回答了一些诸如如何转世，如何寻找下一任达赖喇嘛的问题。
观众退场了之后，我在电影院大厅里遇到了导演……
Q: Congratulations on your new film. So I have a question for you. Do you believe in Buddhism? Cause the way you talked about Dalai Lama it seems you are influenced by him spiritually.
恭喜你完成了这部电影。我有一个问题，你是否皈依了藏传佛教？你描述藏传佛教的方式让我感觉你在精神上受到了达赖的影响。
A: Well, he actually told me, don'tconvert, stick to your own religion. As long as you are promoting good and non-violent spirit, you are a good man. Dalai Lama is more than a religious leader, he teaches us how to be happy and enjoy our lives, that's more important.

达赖实际上和我说过，不要皈依佛教，坚持你自己的信仰。只要你一心向善你就是一个好人。达赖喇嘛不止是一个宗教领袖，他能教会我们如何快乐幸福地度过自己的一生，这样比较重要。
Q: Yes, but what about the specific concepts like reincarnation. You have to believe in the religion to believe that Dalai Lama is reborn 14 times. From my point of view, I saw an ordinary kid who got chosen by a group of old people and has his life chosen for him rather than freedom.

是的，但是我指的是那些比较具体的概念，比如转世。你必须相信藏传佛教才能相信达赖重生了
A: Well, yes his reincarnation is a miracle, but the more important thing for us is to believe in peace and harmony. Many of his teachings are not religious, but a scientific approach for inner peace.Where you from？

次。从我的角度来看，我只是看到了一个普普通通的男孩子被一群老人选中，从此过上了被束缚的一生。A: Well, yes his reincarnation is a miracle, but the more important thing for us is to believe in peace and harmony. Many of his teachings are not religious, but a scientific approach for inner peace.Where you from？
他的转世是一个奇迹，但更重要的是我们要相信和平与和谐。他的很多教诲不是宗教层面上的，而是探寻内心平静的一种科学方法。你是哪里人
Q: China.
?
Q: China.
中国
A: Yeah, I know, what part?
是的我知道，中国哪里？
Q: Zhoushan. It's an island near Shanghai. I've been in U.S. for x years.

那你小时候别人是怎么和你说达赖喇嘛的？

听到的不多，大家不怎么提起他。
A: Come on, are your parents party members?
A: Come on, are your parents party members?
得了吧，你爸妈是党员吗？
Q: No. Well I can't claim to speak for all Chinese, but I think I can speak for me and my friends. I'm against any separatist movement. I think he is a nice guy personally, but it's a different story if he runs an independent movement.
Q: No. Well I can't claim to speak for all Chinese, but I think I can speak for me and my friends. I'm against any separatist movement. I think he is a nice guy personally, but it's a different story if he runs an independent movement.
不是。我不能代表所有的中国人，但我的观点可以代表我自己和我的大多数朋友。我反对任何针对中国的分离主义运动。我觉得达赖是一个和善的人，但如果他在领导一个独立运动那就得另当别论了。
A: That's what you are trained to believe.
A: That's what you are trained to believe.
这些都是党灌输给你的。
Q: Here in the U.S., people are fed information by the biased media. I don't see any difference between your country and mine.

在美国这里，你们不也是从充满偏见的媒体那里获取信息。我不觉得我们两国之间有什么不同。
A: Since you are here, you should rethink the information party give you, use your freedom and look for those information by yourself.
A: Since you are here, you should rethink the information party give you, use your freedom and look for those information by yourself.
既然你都到这里了，你应该重新审视党给你的信息，利用你的自由独立去调查吧。
Q: I have. I've taken history class in U.S., and I've been looking for information in English sources. And that's the independent view point I have. Tibet has been in China for 900 years, ever since Yuan Dynasty.

我有啊！我在美国大学上过历史课，我有找很多英语文献的信息，反对藏独就是我独立思考过后的结果。从元朝到现在，西藏在中国统治之下已经有
A: You know, when Tibet is a country, it once conquered China.
900
年了。A: You know, when Tibet is a country, it once conquered China.
但你知道吗，西藏还是一个国家的时候，它征服过中国。

没有，他们把中国全征服了。
Q: Which history are you talking about?
Q: Which history are you talking about?

A: It's when they united with the Mongolians.
A: It's when they united with the Mongolians.
他们和蒙古人（成吉思汗）联合征服中国。
Q: Ever since then, all Chinese government inherited the jurisdiction of Tibet. And Dalai Lama is a title traditionally given to Tibetby the central government.
Q: Ever since then, all Chinese government inherited the jurisdiction of Tibet. And Dalai Lama is a title traditionally given to Tibetby the central government.
那之后，所有中国政府都继承了对西藏的管辖。达赖喇嘛这个头衔都是中央政府给与他们的。
A: Well then, China should just let Tibet go.
A: Well then, China should just let Tibet go.
这样的话，中国（汉族人）应该放弃西藏。
Q: Tibet was once independent just like how Bavaria, Saxony and Burgundy were independent kingdoms, and now they are part of Germany and France.
Q: Tibet was once independent just like how Bavaria, Saxony and Burgundy were independent kingdoms, and now they are part of Germany and France.
西藏曾经是一个独立的国家，就像巴伐利亚、萨克森和勃艮第曾经也是独立的王国，但他们现在都属于德国和法国了啊。
A: Tibet is the biggest colonization in 20th century.
A: Tibet is the biggest colonization in 20th century.
对西藏的殖民是
Q：Oh? I thought that was British in India.

世纪最大的殖民行为。Q：Oh? I thought that was British in India.
是嘛？我还以为是英国人在印度呢。
A: But Britain has set India free, all the western powers have abandoned their colonies in the 20th century. Well, I don't see this going any where, I can't convince you and you can't convince me. Anyway good luck with everything.
但英国人让印度独立了啊，所有西方国家都放弃了他们的殖民地。好了，我不觉得我们 的对话有什么意义，我们都无法说服对方。祝你好运吧。
Q: Okay, I thought it's a good movie, good luck with everything.
好吧。我觉得这电影拍得不错。祝你好运了。
