Still looking for an English version of the apology and found these translated comments from Chinese on Chinasmack. Ooh, boy.
People always say nice things before they’re about to die.That human scum that used a leather belt to beat teachers to death!?
Learn from history, may the dead rest in peace, may the living solemnly remember, may history not be repeated.With this kind of person, with the deep suffering she has inflicted on the counter, with the great wounds she has inflicted on the people, even being shot dead a hundred times would not satisfy one’s anger!
Pretentious from beginning to end, why didn’t she do it sooner? Why feign apologizing now? If apologies were enough, why make laws at all?Although it has been over 30 years, every time I recall these ugly things that happened around us, I always find it difficult to restrain my hatred and sorrow. Hatred, because the perpetrators were also members of the Chinese people, and they have brought shame to the entire people [nationality/ethnicity]. What more, to this day, they have not gotten the punishment they deserve. Sorrow, because people’s lives could be so easily deprived, and because who can guarantee that the next one would not be oneself? What more, to this day, not a single perpetrator from that time has come forth to apologize or express remorse.If we cannot punish evil, how can we talk about the stability of society; if we won’t express remorse, then there is no possibility of progress.What perplexes me the most is the one nagging question: Are we such an ugly people [nationality/ethnicity]?
