“你没能得到必要的帮助，知道这个事实的时候，感到非常悲哀。希望你家人能尽快得到安慰并恢复平静。上帝的恩宠……”（巴贝拉）“今后如果看到像你一样的孩子，我会对他伸出双手，给予他勇气和力量，把他的人生变得更好。”（大卫）

中央广场上，纪念遇难者的33个悼念碑中还包括凶手赵承熙的悼念碑美国人为何宽恕了赵承熙? [在仇恨中播种宽恕][斗争哲学使人失掉宽恕] [从一封中国人所写不出来的书信谈起] 叶利钦改变了历史[叶利钦,一个不朽的名字][伟人还是政客?] [告别叶利钦时代——俄罗斯转轨进程回顾]

21日，纪念遇难者的33个一半足球大小的花岗岩悼念碑按照椭圆形被安放在弗吉尼亚理工大学中央广场上。其中还包括凶手赵承辉的悼念碑。这是因为，他虽然犯下残忍的罪行，但学校和社会却没能对精神有问题的他提供适当的治疗和心理咨询，对此感到遗憾，同时也是为了安慰失去他的家人。

在赵承辉的悼念碑上，和其他悼念碑一样，在剪成“VT(弗吉尼亚理工大学的缩写)”模样的桔黄色彩纸上写着“2007年4月16日赵承熙”。旁边放着玫瑰、百合、康乃馨等鲜花和紫色蜡烛。在这些鲜花中放着一张便笺。上面写着：“希望你知道我并没有太生你的气，不憎恨你。你没有得到任何帮助和安慰，对此我感到非常心痛。所有的爱都包含在这里。劳拉。”

一直排到中央广场的吊客在各悼念碑前想着遇难者，不断擦拭着泪水。他们看到赵承辉悼念碑前放置的便笺后，不禁露出百感交集的表情。3年级学生雷切尔说：“他虽然很可恶，但他的家人真是可怜。”该校毕业生比尔-贝内特苦涩地说：“他也是一个人。”

弗大学生在前一天20日中午举行的遇难者悼念仪式上，敲响了33声丧钟，其中包括32名遇难者和凶手赵承辉。放飞到空中的气球也是33个。一直看到这些

Classes resume at Virginia TechCeremonies held for the students killed last week

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- A group of Virginia Tech students carried 33 white flags representing the victims of the deadliest shooting rampage in US history and the gunman responsible, as classes resumed a week after the massacre.
Article Tools

Just before the first classes yesterday, the group of flag-carrying students marched on the university drill field accompanied by a drum and bugle corps playing "America the Beautiful" to remember the 27 students, five teachers, and gunman Seung-Hui Cho.
At 9:46 a.m., the university's bell tolled 32 times as 32 white balloons were released, marking the moment a week earlier when Cho, 23, began his second wave of shootings in a classroom building nearby.
Seconds later, a thousand orange and maroon balloons were released, filling the cloudless sky with the school colors.
Thousands of students, university staff, and town mourners gathered on the drill field to watch the ceremonies, some weeping quietly, some consoling one another.
When it was over, students quietly headed to class, ready to return to normal after a week of mourning, memorials, and the glare of the international media.
The university has said classes are optional for all students.
But attendance was generally high, school administrators said at a news conference. Some students said they wanted to be on campus.
"I wanted to be back here with my friends because they understand what happened, what we've all been through," said John Meyer, an 18-year-old engineering student, as he headed to calculus class.
Meyer said he had gone home to Frankfort, Ky., for a few days to be with family, but never questioned returning to finish the final few weeks of the school year.
"This is the best place to be," he said.
People from across the college town of Blacksburg were on campus to offer support to the grieving university community, and messages, banners, and cards of support flowed in from around the world.
At one makeshift memorial, flags from Canada, Peru, and Israel were placed among bouquets of flowers to remember the international students and teachers killed in the rampage by Cho, a mentally ill English major.
Chaplains in green vests crisscrossed campus, a group of volunteers handed out bottles of water to returning students, and handlers with therapy dogs wandered around, offering their pets for hugs.
Steps away from the shuttered Norris Hall where Cho killed 30 students and then himself, grandmothers from a local church handed out bags of cookies.
"Want some cookies? We're glad you're here," said Jan Riess, 65, as students streamed by.
Riess said the women usually hand out cookies at the start of the school year to welcome students to campus but thought students needed that support again yesterday.
"We just wanted to let people know we care," she said, stopping to hug one student dressed in orange.
Although the dormitory where the first two students were killed has reopened, classes held in Norris Hall, were relocated.
The building remains closed and cordoned off with yellow crime-scene tape.
Questions remain about how Cho, who had been investigated after two stalking reports in 2005 and treated for mental illness, was able to buy the two guns used in his rampage.
The university administration and campus police have also faced criticism for their handling of the first shooting in the dormitory, which took place more than two hours before Cho turned up on the other side of campus to kill 30 others.

Virginia Tech apt to forgive shooter Posted on: Friday, April 27, 2007
Today's News:

By Sue Lindsey
The Associated Press

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Kelly White and her two children visited the semicircle of memorials on the Virginia Tech campus, leaving 32 pink tulips – one for each victim in last week's massacre. They also placed a tulip on the stone for gunman Seung-Hui Cho.

"Forgiveness is part of being freed from anger," said White, a Blacksburg resident with relatives who attended the school. "I try to teach my children that God loves everyone."

Cho mercilessly slaughtered 32 people in the worst shooting in modern U.S. history. But there has been surprisingly little outrage directed toward him around campus.

He is memorialized alongside his victims, and students preach forgiveness and talk about him like a troubled family member.

Caroline Merrey, 22, jumped to safety out a classroom window in the building where Cho killed 30 people and himself. She said she was angry at Cho, but also feels sorry for him. "I don't know how I can be feeling both of those things at the same time, but I do," she said.

Campus leaders, experts and those touched by the tragedy say there are several reasons for the spirit of forgiveness. Many people are too overcome by grief to think about anything else. The fact that Cho killed himself provided enough retribution, some say. Others say the forgiveness is rooted in the strong Christian values of this area.

And there's also the loyalty to the "Hokie Nation."

After a student organization placed the stone memorials in a semicircle last week on the main campus lawn, senior Katelynn L. Johnson added a 33rd stone for Cho. Johnson said she told almost no one about the stone because she feared a backlash.

She came forward after someone took it away, because she was outraged by the brief removal of the rock. She says she accepts all "fellow students, faculty and alumni as Hokies" no matter what problems they have.

"I believe his life had value no matter what he did," she said. "We lost 33 people."

Johnson said she has received hundreds of messages supporting placement of the stone for Cho. She only got a few negative responses, and only one from the Tech community.

After the first stone for Cho was removed, someone else came forward and placed a new one there. As of Thursday, the stone remained.

The appearance and disappearance of the stone reflects the community's struggle to come to terms with the massacre.

Virginia Tech has not included Cho in its memorial services for the 32 victims. A bell chimed 33 times Monday on the campus lawn, but university officials said the first chime was to start the ceremony. Officials also released 32 balloons into the air to remember Cho's victims.

The university so far has had no contact with Cho's family and does not plan to award him a posthumous degree as it will the students he killed, spokesman Mark Owczarski said.

The Rev. Scott Russell, an Episcopal minister at Virginia Tech, said he talked to some students who feel that they need to acknowledge Cho's death because the family deserves compassion. But he said many more students aren't able to forgive.

Brian Britt, a Virginia Tech professor of religious studies, said he was impressed that a 33rd stone had been added in the first place. "That's very hard for people to do," he said. "Some people will never do that."

The lack of visible anger also may mean that people have not reached that stage of grief yet, said Melissa Brymer, director of terrorism-disaster programs at the UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress.

"It's so early on that people are worried about the injured getting healthy, keeping their spirits high, encouraging them," she said Thursday.

"Typically, after a few months you feel the anger," she said. "Just because it's not spoken doesn't mean it's not there. And there is anger because somebody has taken away their classmates."

Anne Lynam Goddard's son Colin was wounded during Cho's barrage on a French class, leading to a wide range of emotions among the family.

Colin is angry, referring to Cho only as "the shooter." So is Goddard's husband, Andy, who came face-to-face with a big-screen TV image of Cho pointing a gun at him last week when he walked into a hotel breakfast room.

Andy Goddard is so furious that Cho was able to get guns despite his mental problems that his wife won't be surprised if he channels his energy into gun-control lobbying.

"If there's any anger building up, it might be about the whole system – that he slipped through the cracks," said Goddard, director of Richmond-based Christian Children's Foundation. "I'm also angry that he got the guns so readily, so easily."

Everett Worthington, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who researches forgiveness from a psychological and religious perspective, noted that Cho's suicide meant that "retribution was kind of taken out of the situation."

Other mass murderers have drawn more anger. For instance, the killers at Columbine High School were vilified after their rampage. But at Virginia Tech, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, religion may have guided the response.

Jeff Highfield, Virginia Tech campus director for Campus Crusade for Christ, said the students he's been working with are angry and frustrated, but "they're able to understand that he must have been hurting and confused in some way and made a horrible decision."

During group prayer, he said Campus Crusade members have not offered prayers for Cho, but have prayed often for his family "because they're still alive" and dealing with the pain of Cho's actions.

"It seems very natural for us as Christians," Highfield said. "It takes different times for different people, but I believe most of our students have forgiven."

The greatest evidence of the forgiveness may be the semicircle of stones on the campus lawn.

The new stone for Cho is on the far left of the semicircle, unmarked and slightly apart. But it is adorned with mourners' tributes like those on the other memorials: flowers, candles, beads in maroon and orange and a flag.

In a letter that lay on Cho's stone Thursday, "Erica" said she wished she could have helped him:

"Even though my eyes are tired of crying;

"Even though my campus, my home will never be the same ...

"I forgive you.

"And I love you."
