We all have a common goal, which is 

	    seek for the truth about Lu's tragedy

provided we are sincere, we will have no intent to fight among each other.
Lu's event is extraordinary, and letting it passed and forgotten means
abandoning a good opportunity to learn an important lesson. Although
we may not find the truth eventually, but still we must try.

Thank you Ma, your contribution for painting a better picture is certainly
appreciated. From your description, I recall a person whom I knew
for sometime who had a similar personality, which almost
drove the person to the edge of mental breakdown. I think I fully understand
what you mean.

I support your theory completely. People who are too smart(or think
themselves superior to others) may easily isolate themselves from
others, if this persists over a long period of time their character
changes and becomes a loner. One day he may find himself
impossible to communicate with others, and his mind 
gradually become confused and in reverse think others dislike him. 
The sense of anger against others would then increase which lead 
to serious mental problems.


If more people could speak up and express their views
about Lu, we'll have a better chance to approach the fact about Lu's
tragedy.
