中国为杰克逊的判决而欢呼
迈克尔·杰克逊终于可以高枕无忧了,因为除了周一他在圣玛利亚被宣判娈童罪名不成立外,他在中国还永远被熟知为“流行音乐之王”。
中国人周二一早起来,就得知了这位被爱戴的、也麻烦不断的歌星,被判所有罪名不成立,包括娈童、阴谋和灌酒。
为了对判决结果作出回应,许多中国人登陆了新浪网站,这个站点让学生和专家们有机会发表他们对最新新闻事件的看法——在这个媒体被控制,网络被审查的国家里,是很不容易的。
这个网站发布的一个投票显示:有87%的中国人相信杰克逊是清白的,并且是不公正地被指控犯下了娈童罪。
“杰克逊是一个伟大的人,汤姆·斯奈顿见鬼去吧。”一个匿名网民如是写道,“在美国,黑人是被歧视和不公正对待的。”
但是,为什么中国人会有这么大的百分比例相信杰克逊是清白的呢?
邓颖(音),一名北京大学的法学院学生,把这归结于杰克逊的慈善贡献。“许多人伴随着他的音乐长大,并认为他帮助孩子们,是一个有着温柔内在的好心人。他还花了自己很多时间和金钱在全世界做善事。”
徐晓东(音),中国传媒大学(原北京广播学院)的一名学生,则指出《天下一家》这支上世纪80年代杰克逊和许多艺人合作录制为埃塞俄比亚饥荒赈灾的歌曲,是他善行的一个实例。
杰克逊在美国的形象已经被严重污染,最近的一个盖洛普调查显示,有近58%的美国人相信针对杰克逊的性侵犯指控是真实的。但完全与之相反,在中国公众的眼里,他永远是被爱戴的“流行音乐之王”。

Still the 'King of Pop' in China

China Cheers Jackson Verdict
Michael Jackson can rest assured that in addition to his acquittal on child molestation charges in Santa Monica on Monday, he’ll always be known as the “King of Pop” in China.
The people of China woke up on Tuesday morning to learn that the beloved, yet embattled star, was found not guilty on all counts of child molestation and conspiracy to serve a minor alcohol.
In response to the verdict many Chinese people logged on to sina.com, a website in China that provides an outlet for students and professionals alike, to express their views on current issues and events, which is often difficult to do in a country that controls the media and censors the internet.
The website recently released a poll indicating that nearly 87 percent of Chinese people believed that Jackson was innocent and had been unfairly accused of sexual molestation.
“Jackson is a great person, go to hell Tom Sneddon,” wrote one anonymous website user. Another user wrote, “Black people are looked down upon in the U.S. and are unfairly treated.”
But, why were such a large percentage of Chinese confident that Jackson was innocence?
Deng Ying, a Law Student at Peking University attributed it to Jackson’s humanitarian work. “Many people grew up with his music and consider him to be a great person who has a gentle and kind heart when it comes to helping children. He has also devoted much time and money to humanitarian efforts around the world.”
Xu Xiaodong, a Beijing Communications University College student noted the song “We are the World,” which Jackson and numerous other stars recorded in order to raise money for the famine relief effort in Ethiopia in the 1980s, as an example of his benevolence.
Jackson’s tarnished image in the U.S., where a recent Gallup poll indicated that nearly 58 percent of Americans believed that the sexual allegations against Jackson were true, stands in direct contrast to the public opinion in China where he will always be the beloved “King of Pop.”
