Jennifer Hsiung is an anchor of CCTV 9. Recently when she's writing about her vacation on her blog, she got complaints saying that she's showing no love for China. I'd like to quote Jennifer's reply here. Because I can't agree more with her. "Maybe you should talk about the earthquake and stop flaunting your vacation. It just shows you have no love for China."

As a writer, I write best when writing what I know, what I experience. I'd rather be reporting from Sichuan than copyediting stories at a desk. Blogging about the earthquake would be nothing but a regurgitation of what's been circulating in the newswires, what you watch every minute or read about in headline news hour after hour. It's important, that's why it's being covered heavily by all media outlets. If I posted a blog about something I read or edited, it would not come close to the real life experiences of the earthquake victims, which I cannot even begin to fathom. It's unfair to draw a direct positive correlation between me writing about my dear sister's birthday celebration in Thailand instead of writing about the quake, to me therefore having "no love" for China. It's heartbreaking that so many people have lost their lives, most being children. It's devastating that so many of the bereaved could do nothing but stand around the rubble hoping and praying that their loved ones would make it out alive. And it sucks even more that I can't donate millions of dollars to the relief effort. But this I know I can do: my best at work, even if it's polishing stories instead of reaching out to tell the stories of those in the epicenter. You're assumptions are premature and very hurtful. Perhaps I am not flaunting about the earthquake because it's just too damn painful, and everytime I think about it I just want to cry. http://blog.cctv.com/detail_1491_91515_1.shtml
