林觉民 《与妻诀别书》
意映卿卿如晤:
吾今以此書與汝永別矣!吾作此書時,尚是世中一人;汝看此書時,吾已成為陰間一鬼。吾作此書,淚珠和筆墨齊下,不能竟書而欲擱筆!
……
汝體吾此心,於啼泣之餘,亦以天下人為念,當亦樂犧牲吾身與汝身之福利,為天下人謀永福也。汝其勿悲!
……
吾愛汝至。汝幸而偶我,又何不幸而生今日之中國!吾幸而得汝,又何不幸而生今日之中國,卒不忍獨善其身!嗟夫!紙短情長,所未盡者尚有萬千,汝可以模擬得之。吾今不能見汝矣!汝不能舍我,其時時於夢中得我乎!一慟!
辛亥三月二十六夜四鼓 意洞手書
How touching. Yeah it's cheem Chinese (if you don't understand just substitute all the 汝s with You and 吾s with Me), but it's damn sentimental to see this guy die at an age of 24 for his people.
3 days after he wrote this letter to his wife, he went to 黄花岗. And never came back. 200 odd days later, the monarchy was overthrown.
And yet those stupid politicians on that pathetic island are scolding their government everyday. Haven't they ever wondered how they get their "freedom of speech", as compared to their pathetic Mainland
Don't take things for granted.
