【大纪元1月21日讯】纽约州参议员鲁本‧迪亚兹1月19日给 Cablevision Systems Corp. 公司的总裁兼CEO James L. Dolan 写信﹐表达对无线电城音乐厅上演“同一首歌”演唱会的担忧。Radio City归Cablevision Systems Corp. 公司管辖和所有。迪亚兹参议员在信中说﹕
我注意到许多纽约居民和人权人士在反对﹐某个名为“同一首歌2006美国东西文化交流”的文艺演出，计划2006年1月23日在无线电城音乐厅上演。我认同他们对此事的担忧。
据说这个演出强调某一首歌﹐这个演出也以这首歌命名﹐而这首歌被用于至今仍在发生在中国侵犯人权的事情。
尽管这首歌在中国很流行﹐并且不针对任何特殊的人群﹐但是它已经成为很多纽约人的创伤﹑痛苦和侮辱之源﹐而这些人是中共宗教﹑政治和劳工迫害的受害人。
基于这个原则﹐我将不会观看“同一首歌”的演出﹐并且鼓励我的同事们也这样做。
使用这样一首歌的演出令我吃惊﹐因为它与纽约人所珍惜的价值观是不一致的。我希望无线电音乐城考虑停办“同一首歌”演唱会的决定﹐并且回到那些能丰富纽约文化传统的优秀节目上来。
诚挚的﹐
参议员鲁本‧迪亚兹牧师

Re: Radio City Music Hall Event: The Same Song
Dear Mr. Dolan:
It has come to my attention by many New Yorkers and human rights advocates that a certain cultural show,“The Same Song 2006 USA East West Cultural Exchange” is scheduled to take place at Radio City Music Hall on January 23, 2006. I join them in their concerns.
The show’s program is said to highlight a particular song, for which the event is named, despite the fact that this song has been featured and used prominently in human rights violations that have and still take place in the People’s Republic of China.
Although the song reportedly enjoys popularity in China and is not outwardly critical of any particular group, it is a great source of trauma, pain and insult to many New Yorkers who are former victims of China’s religious, political and labor rights persecution.
As a matter of principle, I will not be attending “The Same Song” and an encouraging my colleagues to do the same.
The show’s underlying message through the use of this song strikes me as inconsistent with the values we as New Yorkers hold dear. It is my hope that Radio City Music Hall will reconsider its decision to host “The Same Song” event, and will return to it fine programming that has defined and enriched our City’s cultural heritage.
Sincerely,
Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz
