Lo Ch'ing's poem for June 4...

中國六四白上衣

羅青

在 六月四日 那天

那天一大清早

天安門廣場一角

一定會出現一個白上衣

在 六月四日 那天

一個穿白上衣的人

一定會出現在中國大地的中心

在 六月四日 那天

全中國的人都自動穿上白上衣

自動降下了一望無垠的六月雪

在全中國的土地上

在 六月四日 那天

2009年6月4日清晨.

一首行為藝術詩

Lo Ch'ing is a well known Chinese scholar, poet and painter, and I am lucky enough to be able to count him as a personal friend. Born in Mainland China in 1948, his family escaped to Taiwan fleeing the communist takeover. As a child, one of his instructors in traditional Chinese arts was Pu Hsin Yu (溥儒), the cousin of Puyi (溥儀), the last emperor of China.
