Jennifer’s Photo Stories (10) 曾錚的圖片故事（10）
Praising the Murderer 「無知的」碩士及學者
This clearly is a very “awkward” photo for our dance team in Hanwang Middle School in Mianzhu County, Sichuan Province in China. The photographer was not fast enough to snap a photo while we were dancing; so he asked us to hold still afterwards so that he could “make up” for what he missed. However, he was still way too slow. Some of us became impatient and gave up holding the pose. Only three still managed to stay in the posture, with two showing miserable expressions including me at the back row.
這張很「失敗」的照片是我上初中時照的。我們跳舞時攝影師動作太慢，來不及抓拍，跳完後就讓我們擺好姿式等著。可他還是太不專業了，半天了也還沒拍，所以有人不耐煩地站直了腰，不給他擺姿式了；剩下三個還在勉力支持的，兩個已是痛苦滿面，其中一個是後面那排的我。
And what was the dance all about? It was about singing the praises of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for “liberating the slaves in Tibet”. We were obviously dressed and acted as grateful Tibetans to express our gratitude towards the CCP.
那這是個什麼舞蹈呢？顯而易見，我們跳的是西藏舞，歌頌並感謝共產黨讓「西藏農奴」翻了身。
For more than 30 years, all those songs that glorify the CCP engraved very deeply in my mind; as I had heard them too many times. Like the song accompanied our dance, we had to listen to it countless times while practicing the dance.
