I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I keep silent
I still ask questions
like a child
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I feel desperate
I still look for the very first sunlight
outside the window
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I talk false
I still have sincerity
to sing with my heart
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I am lonely
I am still loved and in need of love
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I am indifferent
I could still be easily touched
even a single smile on your face
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I want to escape
I still have many dreams
held tightly in my hands
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I feel lost
I still have many directions
to find the way leading me free
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I am blue
I am still positive
and look forward to tomorrow
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I have a feeling of being hurt
I still trust people
as never being hurt
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I should give up
I still want to try my best
At least I want to realise my dream
even there is no light ahead
I am not familiar with the world
But this is not the reason that I should choose from “to be” or “not to be”
I still have many other choices
Unfortunately they are not my choices

write for me
Dear Xiaoqing,
I know that you are very upset today. You were later for your important meeting with your tutor. You missed the very useful guide to write your MA essay. Your brief will be marked down 10% only because your tutor changed his words. Your supervisor did not do things in the way you want. He criticised your online work but it was too late to change the content, not to mention that you once had to change your topic.
You have been frustrated with your final project since May. But you did not tell others. In the midnight you looked through the ceiling, quietly, thinking about the structure of your story. You expected someone who told you how to do it better. You don't understand why people are so easy to say that you should rely on self-learning. The cultural differences bring misunderstanding. Communications break down.
You remembered the very beginning day in Shanghai. You stood on the roof of your school's tall building. With the hot wind passed, you felt so lonely on the planet. You did not like the major. You did not have a friend then. People spoke another dialect around you. You could not find the classrooms or the cafeteria. All you remembered was in the hot hot weather, you tried your best not falling on the street.
You thought you had buried these days. The hardest days that you went through.
Actually they did not disappear. They lived in the deep bottom of your memory and would come out when you were low.
But you have to grow up to face the difficulties in your life. There will never be a person always going to help you. Yes you will meet somebody who could help you to certain extent. But you can't rely on that.
Human is a lonely straw. This is the destination.
He born alone and leaves alone.
I hope you write this, read this and become better. There is always a way to save your blue mood.
And you will come out from it on your own.
Love from
your dream

Arron, 20 a journalistic student
He feels that Black Britons need their own media.
Many of his friends don't watch ethnic media.

Black British Media: at a crossroad

reading intro
Traditional black British audiences, characterised by an immigrant experience in the 1950s and 60s, have raised second and third generations of Africans and Caribbeans in Britain.
These children grow along with BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and many other platforms of national press. But some of them have rarely known their parents’ countries.
Although there was a great need of Black British Media here back in 1980s, when black people are stereotypically labeled “crime, violence”, is there still a need for this specific ethnic media today?
The black community becomes more diverse, any media that can’t keep up with that will die. Challenges and difficulties will emerge more than they used to do.
What is the role of black British media in a diverse society today? How do they survive as a niche player?

notes for my scrip
the black ‘community’ is increasingly diverse and any publication that can’t keep up with that will die. Simple. That doesn’t show there’s no desire just that you need the right product.
The guardian is one of the only papers in the uk which has a number of black voices and even then that number is TINY
