i think she is using it metaphorically. Stand up meaning rise up…
ShardedFire: Your …
ShardedFire: Your comment reveals your detestable nature and complete, wilful ignorance. You say the deaths of 43 million people is a price worth paying for the maoist revolution, because ‘peace doesn’t come cheap’. As though the end result of a communist revolution is peaceful rather than -as is largely the point of this poem -a totalitarian regime of thought control. If you were one of those 43million killed by mao, or the son/daughter of one of his victims, how would you feel then? Sicko.
is it me or did she …
is it me or did she actually want them to stand up but they didn’t get it.
I look forward to …
I look forward to hearing the lyrics on this one.
I have a few friends in China and they do definitely typically have different political opinions. The dynamic about what they believe is quite interesting.
Quite different than what i’d expect an “abc” to feel but well, let see.
.
experiencing change …
experiencing change is different than reading about it. It’s easy for one person to scream for revolution than to live through it. Most people who advocate change never really pay notice to how many deaths it cost. That’s all she’s saying. Don’t get all Mao over here

Yo! she looks like a yellow black girl! sorry if i sound stupid but she looks like my daughter, just lighter.

This poem is always my favorite!
I have it on myspace and it’s just awesome.
And I used the line “you’re bougoise urban—-” for a debate in history to make things understandable.

for order in the chaos of the corrupted officials in china and the chaos that is the split nation?

yea but life sure as wasnt great before mao
The books of which …
The books of which Tsai speaks are elementary school level mini textbooks. Almost any ABC whose parents sent them to Saturday Chinese school would recognize them in an instant. Though I dont totally agree with her jump from these texts to Maos little red book, I think Tsai is on to something here. I personally dont think that her message is for or against change, but is rather a cautionary note reminding us that with change comes hardship and in her own words, Weve got to be ready.
Tell that to the …
Tell that to the families who suffered through the Great Leap Forward, a time in which btwn 14-43 million people died. Nowadays I see classmates decorate their dorm rooms with recreations to Delacroix posters proclaiming, “Vive la Révolution!” and comm. prop. saying, “We will be Chairman Mao’s little red soldiers.” Such enthusiasm for relics of days gone by is understandable for I, too, share in their interest. But we have to remember that for better or worse, great change comes at a great cost
terrific

Thank you for …
Thank you for droppin’ knowledge w/o flogging the ignorant. That’s teaching!
if you knew the …
if you knew the history of “the red book”…you would understand the poem better…the red book was created by the dictator mao,and many chinese had to study and read it…it damaged them greatly…

how cute !! they exchange mikes heheh !!
Good integration …
Good integration from the words of the story into her poetry. It’s interesting how she took a child’s story book, then applying the words to more serious matters, thus showing us how the context revealed the true nature of the words and even the different meaning that the same phrases had in each context. skillz

What do you think was terrible?
