I am happy to meet you today and publish this post for network freedom in the first day of 2010.
Eight years ago, a fucking man, on whose shit we step today, built the Great Firewall. This fucking shit came as an endless dark of night to millions of Chinese who had been enjoying the Internet without any blocks. It came as a loathsome evil to start the long night of their captivity.
And eight years later, our Chinese still is not free. Eight years later, the network life of Chinese is still sadly crippled by the Connection reset and the IP blocking. Eight years later, the Chinese lives on a lonely mainland of poverty in connecting with the outside. Eight years later, the Chinese is still languished in the corner of World Wide Web, and finds himself a prisoner of Communist party in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've gone outside the Firewall to cash a check. When the pioneer Liu and others wrote the Charter 08, they were signing a demanded note to which every Chinese was to fall heir. This note was a demand that all Chinese, yes, children as well as adults, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of the liberty of browse and comment in the Internet. It is obvious today that Chinese government has rejected this demanded note. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, government has given the Chinses people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds". So we have to go abroad to enjoy the beauty of the outside world.
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've gone abroad to escape from the Great Firewall and cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also escaped from the GFW to remind the Chinese who are still in the jail of CCAV now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradalism. Now is the time to make real the freedom of the Net. Now is the time to rise from the dark and monitored valley of internet segregation to the sunlit path of freedom. Now is the time to float ourselves off from the flood of Green Dam to the real solid dam of trueness. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all God's children.
It would be fatal for our people to overlook the urgency of the moment. This hyperborean winter of our legitimate discountent will not pass until there is an invigorating spring of freedom and open. Two thousand and ten is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that our people needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the government continue to block ourselves. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in China until we are granted our freedom rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the gate of Great Firewall opens.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the Firewall which separates the freedom and enlightenment: In the process of gaining our rightful internet, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by laughing those who are still in the wall-side. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical forece with anti-GFW skills.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the China Internet must not lead us to disdain those people who do not know the potential hazard, for a majority of them will lose their internet rights completely. And their posterity will live in a world with the LAN of China.
We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We connot turn back.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Internet dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will open up and free the internet again.
I have a dream that one day in the network of China, the pages of the Youtube.com and the pages of the Facebook.com will never be blocked and run smoothly.
I have a dream that one day Fanfou and even the Twitter, the on-limits network, will appear on our screens without any block.
I have a dream that our sites will one day store in a nation where their content will not be judged by the Green Dam or the government but by the eyes of common people.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, across the country, with equality, with equity, all websites will not be forced into 404 or maintenance with the servers being shut down with outage and non-announcement.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every webmaster whose sites are abroad will not be anxious about IP blocking and page reset, and the words they use shall be the manstopping equipment but not the key words that would lock their pages.
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I set my sites abroad with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of page reset. With this faith, we will be able to transform the key word blocking into strong power. With this faith, we will be able to despise the nonsense of CCAV, to resist the suppression of government, to dally with the Green Dam, to fight with the SARFT of China, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of the Chinese will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my pre-sites died, land of my new site's pride, from every servers, let freedom ring!
And if China is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the servers of websites.
Let freedom ring from the Green Dam of MIIT.
Let freedom ring from the network of Xinjiang.
Let freedom ring from the Fanfou of China.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from the Twitter of human.
Let freedom ring from the Great Firewall of China.
Let freedom ring from every network in the whole world.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every server and every network, from every website and every web page, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Chinese, common people and officers, common users and developers, common visitors and webmasters, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old song:
Free at last! Free at last! Thank brother Chun, we are free at last!

Freedom is never free. You got to pay the price. If you want to see the rainbow, you'd better be able to put up with the rain...
Or can you?

现在身在墙外，虽然有站着说话不腰疼的嫌疑，不过某C08啥的内容不知你仔细阅读过否。要实现它所向往的Freedom，需要付出多大代价？付得起吗？

顺便，这个可以显示浏览器和系统的功能很有趣，是直接装个插件就可以还是要改php啊？我是编程白痴 不敢动php的orz
使用WP-UserAgent插件即可实现此功能。
