韩国百万民众的蜡烛集会

今天(6月10日)在韩国历史上是民主抗争21周年纪念日,韩国民众把今天定为反对进口美国牛肉的最大规模的示威活动日。韩国全国范围内预计将有百万人参加此集会,首尔地区将有50万人参加。而反对蜡烛集会的民众也将举行游行,预计有5万人参加,两队人马是否会发生口角冲突是目前各界所担忧的问题。

老公和我本想参加此次的蜡烛集会,但老公突然肌肉拉伤,考虑安全问题,我们只好放弃了。当时我们决定参加蜡烛集会的时候,我还是感到挺新鲜的。韩国的民主活动确实已经达到了一个很高的水准,国民通过网络策划,宣传,组织了多次大规模的蜡烛集会,甚至在网上都能看到蜡烛集会的实况转播,而且众多网民在网上观看实况转播的同时进行着文字交流。蜡烛集会甚至被某些传媒称为历史上示威游行的革命,而网络则是这场革命必不可少的媒介。 这也证实了韩国的确是无可比拟的网络发达国家。

另外,这次的示威游行暨蜡烛集会不同于以往的示威活动,人们在示威队伍中自娱自乐,使示威活动变成了人们消遣娱乐的一种方式。伴着乐器的旋律,人们又唱又跳,俨然成了壮观的节庆活动,并被媒体称为MT(Source)。这次的反对进口美国牛肉的示威活动似乎演变出了多种示威的新形式,必然会成为示威历史上的一个重要篇章。
