<BR>> <BR>> Time To Say No! is an initiative inspired by Malala Yousafzai.
There is a<BR>> presentation in Brazil today. Yesterday there was a press
conference and<BR>> poetry reading in Vienna, organized by Austrian PEN. Time
to Say No! is<BR>> about rights. Education and dignity, which means not to be
violated, are<BR>> basic rights of all human beings. We heard female writers
from Kenya,<BR>> Sudan, Iran, India, Bulgaria, a wonderful male voice from
former<BR>> Yugoslavia, Austrian voices: Philo Ikonya, Ishraga Hamid, Sarita
Jemanani,<BR>> Boško Tomašević, Dorothea Nürnberg…. And two poems from China.
The first<BR>> one was “YOUR RED LIPS, A WORDLESS HOLE<BR>>
<http://blog.boxun.com/hero/201303/shengxue/1_1.shtml>” 你空洞無聲的欲言紅唇<BR>>
<http://blog.boxun.com/hero/201202/shengxue/7_1.shtml> by Sheng Xue
盛雪<BR>> <http://blog.boxun.com/hero/201202/shengxue/7_1.shtml>,
English<BR>> translation by Maiping Chen and Brenda Vellino<BR>>
<http://blog.boxun.com/hero/201303/shengxue/1_1.shtml>, German
translation<BR>> by Angelika Burgsteiner. The second poem from China was
Lily’s Story 丽丽传<BR>> by Zhao Siyun 赵思云 <BR>>
<http://erguotou.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/lilis-story/>.<BR>> The book
Time To Say No, edited by Philo Inkonya and Helmuth Niederle,<BR>> also
contains poems by Wu Runsheng 吴润生, Chantelle Tiong 张依蘋, Hong Ying<BR>> 虹影
<BR>> and many, many others.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> The poem by Zhao Siyun
and the newspaper stories it is based on were never<BR>> banned in China.
They are still online, maybe because the story never went<BR>> viral in a
very big way.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Sheng Xue and her works are banned. I
have copied the poem in Chinese and<BR>> English on my Sina blog, with
permission from the author.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Martin<BR>> <BR>>
