莱拉原名:Lyra,
Lyra告诉14岁的自己:“It won't always be like this. It's going to get better.” 北爱尔兰的Troubles持续了几十年,98年Good Friday Agreement签署之后有所好转,但Lyra这一代人仍然面临**冲突‘后遗症’,青少年**率居高不下。记者是高危职业,特别在北爱。Lyra的悲剧是**造成的,是和平协议之后第160位死于非命者。她在遭遇不测之前不久曾经对姐姐说,自己梦见被枪杀而且特别真实,也曾在podcast中说自己是‘打不死的小强’。Lyra的葬礼特别隆重,时任首相Theresa May的飞机延误造成延迟开始,正是百万人上街**要求二次脱欧公投前后,保守党只会做谴责暴力的表面功夫,大家知道脱欧造成北爱局势再次动荡,最近又是持续在没有functioning政府的僵局。万恶的保守党已经将**王国置于国将不国的境地!
We have to have hope. We have to have a future. 雖然I don’t think being a journalist and keeping writing is still convincing anymore but it’s still nevertheless very moving
“Kid, it's going to be okay. I know you're not feeling that way right now.”第一次了解北爱尔兰,第一次看到生活在北爱尔兰常年冲突下如此阳光、积极、努力改变现状的Lyra,她真的太可爱了~
