William Luo asked Mao Zedong to sign in Tiananmen Square.

On the Tiananmen Gate, a black man walked towards Mao Zedong. He took out quotations from Chairman Mao and asked Mao Zedong to sign them for him. Mao Zedong happily signed it for him. This man became the first and possibly the last person to get Mao Zedong's signed book since the publication of Quotations from Chairman Mao.

Then, during the "Cultural Revolution", on the rostrum of Tiananmen Square, who could have close contact with Mao Zedong? Is this black man from Africa? In fact, he is not an African representative from a third world country. He comes from the United States, and he is an out-and-out black American, born in the United States. It is also because of his special life experience that it is possible to get in close contact with Mao Zedong.

His name is Luo William. Is one of the American civil rights leaders and writers. In the early 1960s, when racial discrimination was very serious in the United States, blacks actively advocated the unity of African Americans and encouraged all blacks who could take up arms to defend themselves.

It is said that William Rowan's grandmother was a slave when she was young. It was this old lady who solemnly gave a rifle to William Rowe. Grandma told him the origin of this gun earnestly: this is a family heirloom left by grandpa, who was discriminated against by countless white people when he was young. But he never refused, so he bought himself this rifle. He will defend himself when necessary. Later, grandpa took to the political road, actively participated in the election, presided over the publication of newspapers, and named his own newspaper Voice of the People. When William Rowan solemnly took over his grandfather's rifle to defend his dignity, the scars left by his youth were revealed in his memory. He has witnessed the beating of black women by American white police; He once witnessed the "black riots" in Detroit and bravely participated in them.

Obviously, "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" was practiced by Mao Zedong in China. Judging from the history of China, it seems that it should be regarded as an irrefutable truth. Therefore, when William Rowe's story was introduced to the people of China, it was warmly welcomed in China, which made sense.

In fact, Luo William has always appreciated Mao Zedong's statement that "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun". Only in the United States, on the one hand, he holds the rifle given by his grandmother, but he can only shoot when defending his dignity, and he can't shoot at will. On the other hand, he had to borrow something better than a gun-the law, to help the black people get the damaged rights. Because, in the United States, the law is higher than the gun, the law is higher than the president of the United States, and the law is above everything else. In other words, in a country where guns can only serve as a self-defense deterrent, just because everyone has guns does not mean that the world will be in chaos. William Rowan can only make himself famous by helping with the lawsuit.

This opportunity came at 1958. William Rowan helped win a later world-famous lawsuit, which made him famous: "Kissing Case". Two black boys were accused of going to prison for kissing a white girl. It was later found that the white girl kissed one of the black boys on the cheek. This case caused a sensation in the United States, so it also attracted the attention of major media in the world. As a result, two black boys were acquitted.

Here, I have to mention a black civil rights leader who is more famous than William Rowe: Martin Luther King. King advocates non-violence, and William Rowe may be influenced by "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun", but he prefers to emphasize arming black people. He even took the initiative to organize a "Black Armed Guard" to protect the black community from racists including the Klan. He believes that Kim Jong Il's "non-violence" will not work. When faced with "white racial terror", the best answer is to pick up the gun in your hand.

Then, he was hunted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, so he took the opportunity to escape from the United States, went to Cuba first, and then ran all the way to China and appeared at the gate of Tiananmen Square.
