崇美就是崇自由
Loving America Is Loving Freedom

Dear Visitors:

I love America because I love freedom.

Only when you truly understand the meaning of being an American, you will truly understand the meaning of freedom, for America is "one nation only under God", not under men.

I have met many Chinese who although have benefited so much from freedom in America, are reluctant to proclaim that they love America. It is as though if they proclaim they love America, they will be implied to have betrayed China. And to be viewed as a traitor of China is just too much to a Chinese to bear.

But I here declare proudly to the world: I am an ultimate traitor of my own Chinese heritage, of the Chinese cultural tradition, of China itself which represents only slavery, misery, individual submission to the collective, and a helpless and hopeless existence. Not only I have no shame and fear from this declaration, I am immensely proud of it.

The moment I declare my independence from despotism, from helplessness, from fear, from confusion, from slavery, from passivity, from irrationality, from irresponsibility..., is the moment I declare that I am no longer Chinese in essence, is the moment that I join human race, join the ranks of free beings, join to become an American. The shame only belongs to those who fear losing their Chinese shells and Chinese virgin-whore complex. The shame only belongs to those who refuse to admit that they are just as free (under God) as anyone in the world. The shame only belongs to those who refuse to break their own shackles and chain left on them by their despotic ancestors. The shame only belongs to those who deny the existence of truth, reality and God.

I love America because America represents everything, every human value a decent individual human being yearns and strives to achieve. I love America because America is my ultimate home for my soul. I love America because America is the future of mankind. I love America because America is under God.

I proudly declare, again and again, to the world: I am a true American for I am a true free being.

Best. Kai Chen 陈凯
