37、激情的膨胀,有部分学生对ZD分子动了拳头.就是因为这个,给韩国媒体一个盼望已久的反华机会。还有，现场那些ZD分子，自己带来了改锥，扳手，石块等凶器，卻对着镜头说是中国学生袭击他们。最近，韩国新闻中不断播出那些“暴力镜头”和一些所谓的凶器证据，然后说我们的暴力严重影响了韩国国民的爱国自尊心。现在，韩国政府居然要求中国就此道歉。媒体，政府是一片讨伐的声音，韩国人民当然也对中国人的憎恨到达了极限。他们已经在网上公布了那天带头“闹事”的中国学生的姓名，学校，电话号码等资料。据说，很多中国学生现在手机都不敢开，因为总有人会打恐吓电话，或是乱骂。我们现在晚上都不敢出门，因为很难保证路上遇见韩国人，会挨打什

38、么的。前一阵子就有韩国学生嘴里喊着“打的就是中国人”而故意把清州一个中国学生给打了。现在27号这么一闹，中国留学生在韩国真是处境太危险了。因为韩国人不像西方人那样，懂得人权，平等什么的，他们其实就是随便动拳头的莽夫。比如，在美国的中国人可以去CNN门口示威，只要有分寸，是合法的，美国人也不能怎么样。可是在韩国，这不可能。他们会野蛮的动用武力。27号，我们学校一个学生只是在ZD份子面前举起了国旗，就被警察当作闹事者制服了。所以，我们在韩国不能像在美国或者别的国家那样自由的争取权利和尊重。现在，韩国警方已经把几个留学生带走了，好像说要严惩。各个学校的学生会长和一些留学生负责人也遭到人生安全的恐吓。

39、韩国人说要让中国人看看，他们也不是好惹的。还有人悬赏捉住我们带头的那几个留学生。我们只是出来留学的人，平时在韩国受尽他们的鄙视和侮辱不说，就算是支援圣火传递的那一天，表达自己的爱国情绪，到最后都是这样的结果。这么一来，中国学生在韩国，只能越来越危险，越来越没有地位。我是女生，也许还稍微好一点。我想提醒在韩国所有的留学生们，尤其是男生。在晚上或者是中国人少的地方，一定要保护自己的安全，不要随便的和韩国人发生冲突，否则，受伤害的只有我们。韩国的中国大使馆门口现在已经每天都被韩国示威的人们包围了。使馆的人们也很危险。但是，中国一定不能道歉。我们正当爱国，我们没有错，凭什么道歉？大使馆要是不能保护留学生的安全，以后还有谁敢在国外爱国？留学生在国外，始终是弱势群体，媒体的不公正报道，导致国民仇恨心理，最后受害的只有我们。请大家务必冷静，不要正面冲突。
