点评:Freedom Park is truly one of the most powerful and beautiful places I’ve visited in South Africa. The architecture, the history, the symbolism all of it reflects the spirit of unity and remembrance. The space encourages reflection, pride, and healing. I absolutely love the park itself.
However, I was deeply disappointed by the conduct of the tour guides during our visit. Instead of creating an atmosphere of inclusion and respect, they made repeated racist remarks that felt deliberately inflammatory. Their tone and comments seemed intended to provoke discomfort or even anger, which is incredibly inappropriate especially in a place meant to represent freedom, reconciliation, and national pride.
It's disheartening that a place built to honor unity and diversity can be misrepresented by individuals who do not reflect its values. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and provides the necessary training or intervention to ensure all visitors are treated with dignity and respect.
The site deserves better. South Africa deserves better.
翻译:自由公园是我在南非参观过的最有力量、最美丽的地方之一。它的建筑、历史和象征意义,无不体现着团结与缅怀的精神。这个空间鼓励人们反思、自豪,并疗愈心灵。我非常喜欢这个公园本身。
然而,导游在我们参观期间的行为让我深感失望。他们没有营造包容和尊重的氛围,反而反复发表带有煽动性的种族主义言论。他们的语气和言论似乎有意挑起不适甚至愤怒,这极其不恰当,尤其是在一个象征着自由、和解和民族自豪感的地方。
一个以尊重团结和多样性为宗旨而建的地方,竟然被那些不体现其价值观的人所歪曲,这令人沮丧。我真诚地希望管理层认真对待这些反馈,并提供必要的培训或干预,以确保所有游客都能得到尊严和尊重。
这个地方值得更好的。南非值得更好的。
