Africans are asking whether China is making their lunch or eating it
ZHU LIANGXIU gulps down Kenyan lager in a bar in Nairobi and recites a
Chinese aphorism: “One cannot step into the same river twice.” Mr Zhu, a
shoemaker from Foshan, near Hong Kong, is on his second trip to Africa.
Though he says he has come to love the place, you can hear disappointment in
his voice.
On his first trip three years ago Mr Zhu filled a whole notebook with orders

不到200人的小厅里做了不到20个人在看。但是也很有味道，尤其是一个人也没有，
连音乐都没开始放时，除了安静，什么声音都没有，坐在那里回味nowhere,
等着bowling. 红色的老式座位，很小的银幕，像回到了过去，象什么呢，大概就
像AMC放片前回顾几十年电影历程时候的那种感觉。这种小电影院，充满了怀

两部都很喜欢，就不废话了。在想Nowhere in Africa的中文名叫什么好呢？

of those men, wearing a red hat, talked to students as they begin to break

The man in the red hat said to an apparent student, "go back to Europe where
you came from. This is not your land." He told the student to get out of

在94年前，听到卢旺达可能人会第一个想到大猩猩和Dian Fossey戴安=弗西，她在雨林
里和大猩猩生活了近20年。她的书薄雾中的猩猩（Gorilla in the Mist），她一直向世

暗杀。不过也是因为她的宣传和反抗今天我才能看到这些温柔的巨人。
全世界只剩下不到650只山地金刚猩猩，而Dian Fossey工作的那片雨林已成为火山国家公

但对卢旺达来说已经酝酿了很久。
在欧洲人来到之前，当地已经是一个比较团结的国家，人民一直抵制外来者。那时十头牛

。可想而知吃肉的牧民会比吃米的农民长的更高。但在欧洲人费尽心机打进了卢旺达之后

从此播下了种族歧视的种子。他们规定Tutsi 族才能从政。他们用尺量鼻高判断种族，并 (ALLOC 21 |
