Pep's Top Blog

Hello there, I am Pep, a programmer, an indie gamer, a geek, also.

I start to surf the internet and have my first homepage in 1999.
In 2004, my technical Blog became one of the top 100 Blogs in Chinese biggest tech zone.
However, I decide to stop updating that Blog and write my first English Blog –www.Peptop.com.

So here comes the question:
Why did I abandon my Blog in China and start to write this one?

The reason is hard to explain.
In fact, when the internet first appears in China, it is a bulwark of liberty, opening a website needn’t report to the government.
There was no censorship on the internet, no Green Dam, no Great Firewall.
You can write what you want to write and speak what you want to speak.
But now, the Big Brother is watching you!

From 2008, the Chinese government began to squeeze the internet.
Many people were caught solely because they wrote a Blog article or posted a thread in a forum.
If companies don’t censor Bloggers, the Big Brother will close their websites.
Fox example, Fanfou.com which is a “Chinese Twitter.com”, and Tecn.cn which is the most reasonable minds zone were both closed by the government.

Although I only want to write some tech articles and the little nothings of life, I still left Chinese Blogosphere to seek freedom.

Thank God, and also thank the internet.

“Among a people general corrupt, liberty cannot long exist.”, said Edmond Burke.
However, I want to say, among a liberty internet, corruptness cannot long exist.

One day, freedom and democracy will come to China.
There will be one day, I believe!
