The day when the wall came down

Twenty years ago, this was the historical moment. The Berlin wall came down after more than twenty years of isolation and persistent fight for freedom. It was not widenly reported in China, as it was post 4th June period,and it was politically sensitive time.

I visited Berlin five years ago, thoroughly instrigued by the history. The small museum at check point de Charlie tells many heartfelt stories, most of them with tears and blood.

It set a landmark closure to the cold war, and once again, history proves that nothing could stop people from communicating and connecting with each other, however difficult it might be.

It was the time East Germany said Goodbye to Lenin and embrace the unity of Germany.

And for the domino effect on Easter Europe and the rest of the world, a big party for the 20th anniversary sounds like a great idea, especially now Germany has officially come out of recession.
