First of all, please allow me to thank FreeOz for always being there for us all whenever needed, for seeing us all through ups and downs.
Through the interpretation of my own, I guess FreeOz has been established on the foundation of democracy, meaning freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of media. From my own experiences, I am positive that FreeOz has been doing exactly those.
FreeOz is where we can express ourselves carefree. No matter how reluctant we are to take our personal issues up to our relatives and friends, we regard FreeOz as our special refuge to seek the security, support and concerns. No matter how belittled our opinions are, we just take them out to our refuge without worrying about being put down, sneered at, yelled at, judged on or abandoned. Someone will always be there for us to pull us through our difficult time. We can unleash our frustrations and angers in this refuge without worrying about someone might get hurt, because nobody takes things personal; We can take to the open in this refuge our darkest side without worrying about being labelled as a bad human being.
FreeOz is where we can talk about the most sensitive Chinese political issues without worrying about being threatened and sneaked up on by the censoring authorities. By listening to what others have to say on the same issues, we broaden our visions and able to put things into perspective. Therefore, we start to think critically, and deal with issues in an as-a-matter-of-fact approach and not push them out of proportions. Thanks to you all, we gradually learn how to put political issues together and not be cynical and critical on policies with a narrow-mind.
FreeOz is where we can share our achievements, daily living, life experiences, children upbringing, pet raising, living skills, etc…Some people will always be there for us, cheering together, supporting each other. FreeOz is where we can take notes of what we pick up as new experiences in our adopted country. We acknowledge each other’s learning outcome, we make corrections on others’ misunderstandings if necessary. All these activities help us all to settle in the new land much easier and quicker.
FreeOz is where we can always find answers to whatever questions we might raise. As long as we put out there what confuses us, some people will always be there to share their minds, experiences and constructive solutions. No matter what difficulties we are confronted with, we can always be armed with the sound mechanisms by our FreeOz friends and crack a reasonable way through.
For the above mentioned reasons, we love FreeOz as the best network for us who frequent this site, we would like to commit ourselves to making it a better website for us all to stroll through whenever we like; We would like to stick to its start-off ground and do what we can to pass it on to next generation; We would like to be united in the same goal to maintain this website on its intended track and head to its anticipated wonderful future. |
