The following microblog post is from Sina Weibo, by Beijing-based scholar Wu Zhailai (吴柞来).
@wuzhailai: Someday people will spread flowers on the streets, pour liquor into rivers*, and fireworks will light up our Square. Those departed classmates, maybe we all have gray hair, but standing on the earth to look up at the stars, we will still remember your faces. Someday we will all possess a sacred ballot, we will speak to our president-elect: Hello, President, we are willing to let you represent us, to make great decisions. We will also sing and praise our dear motherland.
* Making a toast and then pouring your liquor onto the floor is a way to commemorate the dead in China.
