This week, we are looking at a poem in the news. We are airing on Saturday, October 15th, 2022. On Thursday October 13th, 2022, just three days before Chairman Xi Jinping is supposed to be anointed for his third term, someone mounted the Sitong Bridge in Beijing and unfurled two banners. One had a poem which read:   We don’t want nucleic acid [tests], we want to eat We don’t want the Cultural Revolution, we want reform    We don’t want lockdowns, we want freedom We don’t want a leader, we want voting   We don’t want lies, we want respect We don’t want to be slaves, we want to be citizens   不要核酸1要吃饭3,不要文革要改革 不要封城要自由,不要领袖4要选票 不要谎言要尊严,不做奴才2做公民
