Special to The Japan Times
Now in its fourth year, the Asian Queer Film Festival is an eye-

for anyone who has thought that "queers" have a bad time in their quest
for
love and freedom in Asia.
The AQFF is a small, two-weekend affair that opens July 8 at the

decade because Democratic leaders quashed Republican efforts to debate

Now with Republicans in charge of the Legislature for the first time in 140
years, conservatives are making their move. Lawmakers return Monday to

Amidst this backdrop of rural poverty and inequality, China has finally won

上周末听说新唐人电视台在歌剧厅举办新年晚会，我们曾毫不怀疑能够估摸出晚会
大概的样子。在我们小的时候，父母总是拽我们去参加中国文化的各种活动，甚至我们
还会参与一些表演。中国的杂技演员顶着瓷碗向后弯腰及地。至于琵琶和古琴弹奏，我
们都见识过。还有浓饰重彩的京剧演员甩着长袖，扮演猴子的武生上窜下跳满场翻飞，
以及那伴着锣鼓家伙的嘈杂声。这些艺术都有五百年的历史了。
不过我们这里看到的却是：在电脑动画背景下，一位天使降临人间来拯救“被共产
党迫害”的法轮功练习者，还伴随着“法轮功就是好”的歌曲。
是的，我们得承认：这是我们从来没有看过的。
在降临之后，整台晚会似乎就和法轮功毫无联系，但又可以说息息相关，似乎它贯
穿了整个中国5000年的文明历史，外加多彩的画面。
新唐人电视台的这场晚会已经是第四届了，在全世界近30个城市巡演，和我们参加

让西方民众来做你的主子，独裁就是企图独立裁决本国事务，法西斯就是设法修改西方
