Chapter 22 Act 20 The Trial of Garfield

The scene is the same as Act 1. God Li: (Stands up, knocks the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 20th court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography accused the 20th President of the United States James Garfield (James Abram Garfield). (Garfield stands up.) God Lee: You are Garfield, born in 1831, the 20th President of the United States. Garfield: Yes. God Lee: On June 30, 1881, you went into detail with your Secretary of War, Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, about Lincoln's assassination, and two days later, you were assassinated.The son of Lincoln met the president twice and was assassinated. He said he was Jinx (White Tiger Star).You once predicted that you would die from being stabbed or struck by lightning. Are you a fatalist?

Garfield: I'm just a hunch, not a superstition. God Li: You teach Latin and Greek at school, and you have a foundation in the classics, and there is a sense of fate in the classics.After you read the novel Ben Hur, you send the author, Lewis Wallace, to Turkey. The theme of "Ben-Hur" is to rebel locally, and those who cannot rebel locally fled to America, like your ancestors, partly Huguenots, isn't it? Garfield: 15,000 escaped in the 17th century. God Lee: The Huguenots, a Protestant denomination, were killed in the Reformation.In the "Massacre of St. Bartholomew's" on August 23, 1572 alone, 20,000 people were killed in Paris.But compared to your American killing of Vietnamese and Iraqis, it really pales in comparison.

Garfield: I didn't see what happened in America later.It would be unreasonable to say that. God Lee: Fair?Is the word "justice" used by you bullying Americans?The point of interrogating you is not to say that you are the only one who does bad things and others don't, so you don't have to worry too much.The real point is that you Americans have turned around. You have changed to killing foreigners.You were a major general in the American Civil War. At that time, you were killed and killed, and you all killed your own people.Later, you "evolved" and specialized in killing foreigners.

Garfield: Oh, well, anyway, we are behind the times, and we can't kill as many people as the next generation of Americans.I am the last President of the United States born in a log cabin.Who remembers me Garfield? God Lee: (laughs) As long as everyone likes the "Garfield" - Garfield, people will not forget you.Also, another sneaky US President Clinton will remember you.Your extramarital affair with Mrs. Calhoun is so well-kept as a secret that you can even get back the love letters you wrote. It’s not as unlucky as Clinton, sitting in the Oval Office of the White House (Oval Office), even watching I am afraid of the word football (oval).

(Laughter.) Garfield: But I have my bad luck story.If I hadn’t been stabbed and left the bullet there, I probably wouldn’t have died. I lay in bed and suffered for 79 days, and finally died in the doctor’s hands who didn’t know what disinfection is, wouldn’t I? God Lee: In fact, in the 1860s, Britain had already noticed aseptic surgery, but you American doctors couldn't keep up with the times, so you became a victim. Garfield: Then the assassin was hanged. God Lee: Before he died, he sang an impromptu song.The assassins who assassinated the President of the United States are very exciting, God is still very good at picking people.

Garfield: When the assassin was interrogated, he said he was sent by God to kill the president. God Lee: Ha, God should only be interested in judging the President of the United States. Garfield: On the day I died, the assassin wrote to the new President Arthur from his prison: "Never think that Garfield's death was murder, it was an act of God." God Lee: Ha, God wouldn't act so stupidly. Garfield: On the morning of the assassin's shooting, he wrote: "The tragic death of the President is a sad necessity, but it will unite and save the Republican Party...I have no ill will towards the President. His death is a political necessity. "

God Lee: That seems to be right. Garfield: All in all, I was really unlucky. I took office on March 4, 1881, and died on September 19. After six and a half months as president, I was assassinated. God Li: I don't think you are unlucky, your working time is too short, 199 days.However, the two major cases of your Americans' crazy anti-Chinese, the Denver riots of 1880 and the Rock Spring riots of 1885, one after the other, are not in your tenure. Garfield: It's my good fortune that I didn't have a particularly bad record in my tenure. God Lee: However, in you, it just left a historical contrast.As we mentioned just now, your ancestors went overseas for freedom of belief, and America is exactly such a location and opportunity.However, the Chinese went overseas and came to the United States without extravagant demands, just to survive. They were abducted to the United States by both soft and hard tactics.Those who came to the United States to do hard work were not free people, but were sold. That kind of situation is called "piggy trafficking". The voyage is on your American ship. There are 500 people in a cabin, and it is as crowded as those who went to America back then. Black slaves are no different, except that they don’t have shackles. They worked as cows and horses in the western United States, which is far away from the black slaves in the eastern United States, and they work collectively on a larger scale than black slaves. Much forgotten, these "piggy coolies" were mistreated and killed a quarter of them.Later, the "piggy coolies" evolved into the so-called Chinese laborers. 3,000 of them helped the United States build the Transit Railway in the western section. This kind of credit is just one of the achievements of the Chinese laborers in helping to develop the United States.However, when the western development is completed, you Americans want to kick the Chinese away.You are being tried today, President Garfield, not in individual cases but in general cases. You took office on the day when the Governor of California declared the "statutory holiday" of the Chinese Anti-Chinese Movement—exactly one year after March 4, 1880. Do you know the moment when American whites massacred Chinese yellows?You Americans kill Chinese people, even women and children.Don't scold the Japanese for killing Chinese women and children. You Americans are 60 years earlier than the Japanese!

Garfield: Oh, I don't know about that. God Lee: Don't you know?Ask your Secretary of State, your appointed Secretary of State, James G. Blame, and he can tell you what his Sino-phobia (Sinophobia) homework is good at.He served as Secretary of State three times under three presidents, and he got Hawaii.He is soft on black people, but never soft on yellow people, who are you using.President Garfield, think about it. Garfield: I recognize the limitations of our generation, we have our own last resort. God Lee: When you ran for the presidency, you even took "opposition to Chinese immigration to the United States" as your political opinion.Don't you think you suck?

Garfield: This political opinion is not only my own, but even my political opponents in Taiwan have the same political views. God Lee: What does this prove?This only proves that you white people are wrong about Chinese people.Your famous saying is: Justice and goodwill will outlast passion. In fact, you are wrong.Whether it is justice or goodwill, how old is it under the passion of the Americans.Retire from the court (beat the mallet and stand up). (The curtain falls.)
