这是一首歌，简单，耐人寻味。

Children of Chinese

Don't be the children of Karamay, burnt skin will make mothers cry
Don't be the children of ShaLan Town, too dark beneath the water they can't sleep
Don't be the children of Chengdu city, mama arrested because of drug can't go home for seven days
Don't be the children of Henan province, AIDS is grining in blood
Don't be the children of Shanxi, papa became coal and you will never see him
Don't be the children of China, in famine and hunger they will eat you, while old goat in the wild protects his lamb, staring at enemy with a cruel glitter
Don't be the children of China, parents are Cowards, "let leaders go first" proves their cold heart(1)

I deliberately call this an "atrocity" rather than a "tragedy." When 324 people -- 288 of them children -- are killed by the callous arrogance and criminal actions of Party officials, it's every bit as atrocious as terrorist acts such as the Beslan massacre. In fact, over a hundred more children died in the Karamay fire than died at Beslan. Chinese Communist Party officials were responsible for the deaths, and Chinese citizens are finally able to know the full story.
On that day, about 500 school children were taken to a theatre in Karamay for a special performance. They were to be honoured by the presence of senior Party leaders at the show. As the performance got underway, a fire broke out near the stage, the scenery ignited and the flames spread quickly. The Times of London's excellent Far East correspondent Michael Sheridan has the story:The first few seconds became the most controversial of the disaster. Survivors insist that a woman official immediately stood up and shouted: “Everyone keep quiet. Don’t move. Let the leaders go first.”Let that sink in for a minute. The auditorium is filled with children aged 7 - 14 and their teachers, many of whom are women. Yet, in what could be seen as the motto for the more than half century of CCP rule, "leaders go first."By the time the dignitaries had filed out, it was too late. Teachers hurried the pupils out of their seats to other exits, only to find that the emergency doors were locked.
