全民皆“奸”時代的來臨

在某個論壇上,一批網民在彼此爭論,板磚橫飛,激戰正酣。一方罵對方是漢奸,另一方就回罵說,你才是漢奸,你們全家都是漢奸,突然有個人說我不是漢族的,簡簡單單的一句話引起我的思考。

我的理解裏邊,漢奸這個詞已經失去原有的意義,僅是有些人用來定位那些和官方的聲音不同的人士的一種通稱。可是我國不是有56個民族的國家嗎?如果通 說漢奸,有些少數民族的異見人士就不樂意了,我都不是你們漢族,如何說漢奸,本身就是對他們的不尊重,而且也有大漢民族主義情緒。看來是某些人不夠理 解我黨對少數民族的關懷政策,當他們要拿帽子扣別人的時候怎能如此不尊重少數民族同胞的感受呢?因此,我設想對於被愛國者不容的人士,是藏族的叫藏 奸;蒙古族的叫蒙古奸;滿族的叫滿奸,以此類推。很幸運,中國沒有個叫強族的民族,否則某些人士會被叫強奸,別人還以為他是專門搞婦女工作的。我有個 少數民族朋友,傣族,立場大概也可以稱作某奸來著,有些人喜歡讀白字把讀成。當我告訴他這套高明的方案,他就不太樂意了,說什麼自己的男 人貨色俱全,居然可能被稱作太監(奸),可是我也很無奈,總不能叫你漢奸吧。當56個民族的名稱的字用替代之後,就會發現其中很熱 鬧,就會出現諸如莊奸白奸等等,精彩紛呈同時也讓人啼笑皆非。不過這有什麼不可能的呢?一個昨天還戴上民族英雄的光環,可就在轉眼間又成了 身殘加腦殘,這就是英勇保護奧運火炬的殘疾運動員金晶的遭遇,假設這樣的純潔的女孩都能成為很多人齊聲討伐的所謂漢奸,那離全民皆 那一天並不遙遠。

其實,我並不關心其回國之後加諸於其身的各種各樣的光環,但很擔心如果她手中的火炬被奪走,結果會怎樣?這不可想像。搶 火炬的歹徒看到金晶身體上的劣勢,便以為有機可乘,但萬萬沒想到她是如此剛強之人,終究不能得逞。我可不可以做個很不恰當的假設,萬一員警制止不夠及時, 火炬到了歹徒的手裏,國內的人們會如何對待她,肯定不會讓他好過,會被罵的狗血淋頭。金晶一方面保護了火炬,另一方面又保護了她自己以免受到各種攻擊。但 另外一個女孩可能沒有如此幸運,假如不在美國申請政治避難的話,結果難以想像。

一個年僅二十一歲的杜克大學的中國女留學生王千源現在已然 站在爭論的風頭浪尖,她的照片出現在國內的大小論壇上,額頭被打上漢奸賣國賊的標志;她被無良的媒體CCTV稱為最醜陋的留學生;她被國內的很 大部分人士聲討,甚至有人揚言要全球通緝並追殺她;她的父母所有的資訊全部被人公開,為人恐嚇。王千源到底是一種事件,還是一種現象,這很難說。但我很佩 服她的勇氣,更佩服她如此年輕的年紀有如此的想法,能有這樣的政治理念在中國恐怕無第二人,能想到別人不敢想的事情,這就是她難能可貴之處,至少比平庸的 28歲的廳級幹部張輝更有政治才華。就中國整個民族的個性和這個國家機器的特質來講,她也明白自己的舉動會給她帶來什麼樣的後果,肯定會受到國內民眾最猛 烈的攻擊和國家機器慘無人道的抨擊。

愛國主義的病毒散開時,很多人完全失去了方向,任其發展。人們對她的咒罵的火力遠遠超過了民國 時期對汪精衛的批判,誠然她沒有出賣國家半點利益,只是發表個人的見解。有一種非常愚蠢的觀點說,王千源的所為是為了投入美國懷抱、拿美國綠卡,可是多數 人不知道杜克大學在全美綜合性大學排名前十左右,出自這樣的名校想留在美國工作拿到綠卡根本沒有問題。她何苦與13億人民為敵(自己又一次被別人代表 了),然後拿綠卡,這是多麼得不償失。西藏的問題困擾中國半個世紀,而官方總是按自己的套路一成不變,王千源所提出的將西藏和香港等同的地位的設想未嘗不 是一個好辦法。

我覺得必要立即建一座文革的歷史博物館,讓我們和子孫好好反思一下自己的言論和行為,好不再犯錯誤。當我們在使用那些讓人 心驚肉跳的詞語如一小撮別有用心反華勢力”……等等之類那個時代泛濫的用語時可以在這個博物館裏邊認真反省一下,是不是會使我們的面目變得 醜陋。把歷史當作一面鏡子,在它面前不斷地反思,我們會知道自己的善惡美醜,就會注意自己的言行,讓自己更文明一些。也許是因為我們沒有這樣的一個博物 館,或是因為官方根本沒有認真地反思,導致在宣傳的手段還停留在上個世紀六、七十年代。一個國家的宣傳機器瘋狂地啟動,想要把這個良善的女孩置於死地,我 不禁毛骨悚然。

事實上,在中國的歷史上,真正做漢奸的人很少,在整個中國歷史所占的比例微乎其微,原因是很少人不愛自己的祖國,倒是 被整成漢奸的人不計其數,看看文革的歷史。在吃愛國主義飯的這條道路上,人來人往,絡繹不絕(和菜頭語)。被釘在歷史恥辱柱的漢奸都是出自統治集團並 與國家的利益有直接的關系,如汪精衛,常人很難有機會得到漢奸的機會,因為普通民眾根本不可能將最根本的利益出賣,就是汪精衛平時也大談特談愛國主義 的大道理。誰是真正的漢奸,點擊這個鏈接也許可以有所收獲。

CNN 的主持人卡蒂夫形容五十年來的中國人都是暴民和呆子,顯然是不能讓中國人接受的,後來CNN又說他說的暴民和呆子是指中國政府而不是中國人民,加 上看到國內網民的表現,我部分原諒了他。如果政府不是暴民和呆子,那如何有那麼多人不問青紅皂白要追殺王千源並威脅其父母的生命安全,也許很多人並不 知道王千源到底說了什麼,做了什麼。那些聲討、攻擊的言語十分殘暴、不堪入目,那些人一下子把自己的原始的本性暴露出來。居然有一幫人為達到打擊的目的可 以不折手段,炮製了所謂的其父的道歉信,甚至有人還去他父母的家門前扣屎盆子,這是君子所為嗎?如果這不算是暴民所為,我很難將其行為和有良好教養的 人士聯系在一起。

僅只防禦官府的暴虐還不夠;對於得勢輿論和得勢感想的暴虐,對於社會要借行政處罰 以外的辦法來把它自己的觀念和行事當作行為準則來強加於所見不同的人,以束縛任何與它的方式不相協調的個性的發展,甚至,假如可能的話,阻止這種個性的形 成,從而迫使一切人物都按照它自己的模型來裁剪他們自己的這種趨勢——對於這些,也都需要加以防禦。P5

·密爾在其偉大的政論著作《論自由》中做過這樣的論述。王千源這樣的一個弱女子,對有十幾億人口的中國來說,猶如滄海之一粟,明顯處於弱勢。國內普遍的 觀點認為她是個漢奸,而鮮有支持的聲音,對於這樣得勢輿論和得勢感想,再有千百個王千源也抵不過眾口鑠金。當年批鬥劉少奇、彭德懷的時候,也是如此, 眾多無知的民眾導致了各種各樣的悲劇。我不太明白平日裏一些善良的民眾為何會在這種情況下變得如此狂躁,面目猙獰,暴戾不次於市井的狂徒,仿佛與王同學有 不共戴天之仇,非得把她抽筋扒皮、碎屍萬段不可。多數人喜歡見到這種暴虐施加於其他人,而絲毫沒有考慮假設這樣的暴虐有天可能施加於自己身上。這種現象不 僅反映在漢族中少數人處於語言弱勢的人群受到來自無數鷙鷹的攻擊,從另一方面說,少數民族也面臨著面對多數漢人面前很難發出自己的聲音的窘境。

史是面鏡子,將來我們的後代看我們的時候,定會認為我們這時代的人們是多麼愚蠢可笑以及反動。對于很多同胞,假如王羲之、張旭、柳公權等大書法家能夠重生 的話,真應該讓他們用行書、草書、魏碑等奮力給你們寫個非常漂亮的、碩大的,然後貼在自己身上不舍丟棄並將它傳給子孫。仔細琢磨,你會知道我所說的 意思吧。

Back to Our Motherland, Chinese Canadians!

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

What's your attitude when you heard of that some immigrants will abandon the citizenship of your native country, and burn or tear the passports or something which indicates the relation to the nation of them? Do you think they are disloyal to your country? Bill, you are from Canada, and the following story which I will tell has relation with your country, so I hope you can make a reply after you read this post.

I came across a website today, which called for the Chinese Canadians to destroy everything they got when swore under the Canadian flag: “I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors . The organizer who registered the domain backtoourmotherland.com (independent IP, by someone who called Peter Lee) and developed the web page campaigned that the Canadian Chinese should collectively give up the Canadian citizenship. It writes in the campaign the Canada government always implement the policy which is hostile to Chinese government in the name of human rights. The Prime Minister Mr. Harper met with Dalai Lama and supported independency of Tibet, and now refuses to present the Olympic ceremony which represents the peace of world. The CBC which represents the leading media and social opinions takes the advantage of Olympic Torch relay to smear their deeply loved motherland, the People's Republic of China. As the descendants of Emperors Yan and Huang, they can no longer tolerate it. Therefore, they will set up a Action Committee for Coming Back to Motherland responsible for calling on the Chinese to abandon the Canadian citizenship and permanent habitatio. The red characters say (click the picture to see more clear snapshot or the link above to see the original page):

We are angry, because we deeply love the land where we were raised;

We protest, because we can no longer tolerate the vicious slander and vilification;

We act, because we want to show the dignity and courage of descendants of Emperors Yan and Huang to the whole world!

Come on! Give up your Canadian citizenship and tear the green cards.

Come on! Go back to the embrace of our motherland!

It's quite nonsense. Does Canada invade China, or treat badly towards Chinese? If Chinese can get a better life in China and enjoy the freedom there, why should they give up their life there. Moreover, they have sworn to be faithful and bear true allegiance to the nation where they live in. I have seen many strange phenomena happened on the oversea Chinese, they possess the Green Cards of the nations where they live, but hold Chinese flag and sing Chinese national anthem; some are overreacted when the foreign media criticize Chinese government. If you own dual citizenship, it's forgivable. However, the Communist Party doesn't recognize dual citizenship. This reaction doesn't show loyalty to immigrated nation. Is there a word in the dictionary of Chinese moral life called "disloyalty"?  I don't agree. Honest and loyalty are still the main values in Chinese life. To my fellow Chinese who support this action, please try to replace China with Canada and vice versa, what's your feeling? If some people immigrate from Canada and get the passports of China, but they tear the passports, ID cards, etc., do you think they are loyal to our country?

Compared with the people who live in China, they can get more information than those in China. What about the human rights and progress of democracy, they know better. The most important is that they learn about what is the need to Chinese society. They don't need to defend for what the Chinese government have done, especially on the issues of human rights. But China is still a poor country, only quite a few families can afford the expensive cost of study and living in the developed foreign countries such as U.S and Canada. A majority of people who can get access to these countries are in close relation with the privileged class; they are sons and daughters of high officials and rich entrepreneurs, if they go back to China, they can still have quite good life and step into the queue high officials  with the resources of their parents. There was a guy told a story: a guy went to New Zealand and robbed there, finally was deported; after he came back to China, the guy could still earned a post in a large state-owned company due to his parents' energy. They tend to protect their interests rather than the patriotism sentiment towards their motherland. There are few real patriots, after all a majority of Chinese have received so called "wolf milk" education, which makes many people take nationalism equal to patriotism.

The patriots, welcome to come back, but please consider carefully before you loss freedom again. Actually, our nation needs such kinds of people who master the advanced technology, knowledge and new concepts which are helpful to China , but I also hope the ruling party will give them more freedom.

卡弗蒂錯了嗎?

這是從牛博網上找到的一些計劃生育的標語,圖片的文字充滿暴力和蠻橫,于是有網友發出感慨說:

中國人在過去五十年中一直是暴民和匪徒。我的話講完了,謝謝。

這篇帖子有些河蟹上岸的味道。但卡弗蒂真的錯了嗎?為什么他只說五十年來的中國人,而不說五千年來的中國人,內心一直有疑問。

抵制家樂福之烏龍事件

在談到主題之前,首先來了解一下一些國家的基本常識問題。說到法國,現在肯定有很多人會咬牙切齒,盡管他們一點都不了解法國,比如說國家的象征國旗,未必有人清楚。歐洲各國的國旗,不仔細觀察確實很容易混淆,點擊可以看一下各國國旗到底長什么樣子。請注意左側的這張圖,這是荷蘭國旗。百度百科上對它的介紹如下:

長方形,長寬之比為3:2。旗面自上而下由紅、白、藍三個平行相等的橫長方形組成。藍色代表海洋,象徵人民的幸福;白色象徵自由、平等、民主,還代表人民純樸的性格特徵;紅色代表革命勝利。

現在再看這邊的圖,這才是法國國旗。百度百科上也有它的介紹:

長方形,長寬之比為3:2。旗面由三個平行且相等的豎長方形組成,從左至右分別為藍、白、紅三色。

也許今天是周六的緣故,在武漢和合肥兩地已經有很多人開始抵制家樂福了。但是今天合肥的抗議中,這幫人物卻犯了一個很嚴重的錯誤,居然在家樂福門前把荷蘭國旗當作法國國旗燒掉,那些周圍的看客還一副同仇敵愾的樣子。不要以為兩個國家的國旗長得像就可以隨便亂燒,弄不好會引起外交紛爭的。荷蘭招誰惹誰,一幫中國人無緣無故地把它的國旗在公眾場合燒掉,荷蘭方面不會抗議嗎?我不反對別人抵制法國,但是要是連法國最基本的東西都不清楚的話,那就會犯大錯誤。只能說官方的信息封鎖造成無知,一幫人要去向法國抗議,居然不知道法國國旗長什么樣子,而且不會事先做了解一下。要不西風獨自涼老兄為何會說,愛國主義是腦癱患者的鴉片,看來他們的素質確實不高。本來我對那些“愛國者”沒有太大的興趣,哪里知道他們居然還是些橫豎不講理的動物,難道你能說以下的圖中燒的不是荷蘭國旗,根據圖中的長寬比和藍色、紅色深淺程度就是荷蘭國旗無疑。看來官方果真是搬石頭砸自己的腳,想要利用國內的民族主義情緒來轉移國內視線,結果哪里知道這幫愛國者會如此無知,哪壺不開提哪壺給他們制造了新麻煩,相信荷蘭方面肯定會有動作,再不懸崖勒馬就沒救了。

奧運的規律

之如我在《災難的規律》中提到的那樣:

97年十五大,98年洪水,02年十六大,03年非典,07年十七大,08年暴風雪

現在在twitter上,中國特色老兄也總結出一套規律:

1936年柏林奧運會, 1945年希特勒自殺; 1980年莫斯科奧運會,1991年蘇聯解體; 2008年天朝奧運會……

Twitter上的maozedong,也就是毛主席老人家特此翻譯了一個英文版本

In 1945, 9 years after Berlin Olympics, Nazi era ended. In 1991, 11 years after Moscow Olympics, Soviet Union collapsed. So... In 2018...

我很難容忍獨裁政權,尤其是當獨裁統治發生在我們國家。奧運會對這個國家產生什麼樣的影響,我們拭目以待。

On notice board, China Edition, April

I created an "on notice board" from www.shipbrook.com to brief the hottest topics among Chinese people. I love comedy center and Stephen Colbert, particularly the South Park.

1. Tibetan riot: the incident happened in the roof of the world had attracted so many attentions all over the world. But it's a difficult issue to be discussed on by Chinese.

2. Beijing Olympics: though many leaders of the world tend to refuse to attend the ceremony of Olympics games and so many people boycott, I still look forward to watching these games will be launched smoothly to see how a communism China shows off its achievements of socialism.

3. Torch relay: it had met some "little" problems. The forever right party couldn't understand why so many people oppose it, so the party still keep carrying forward the spirits of forever right and likely represents the people of the whole world to define the protest illegal and offense to the feelings to the whole world. I was unintelligibly represented even if I didn't express the feelings. The party is angry and the consequence will be serious. Don't protest and shut up your fucking mouths.

4. Democracy: democracy is a good thing, a scholar of the system wrote. However, the distance to democracy is yet so far to reach. They argued that China is implementing socialism "democracy", which has Chinese characteristics and there never been such democratic system. Democracy in the United States is not real democracy, and that in Japan hybridized Taiwan either, only China is authentic.

5. Inflation: the CPI index is growing like mushroom, and prices of all goods are rising, but the salary still keeps such stable like diamond which is the most stable substance in the world. CCTV is still that CCTV. The son of bitch TV said inflation had no influences on people's life and everyone could tolerate. It's thousands of kilometers away from CCTV, or I will use the bandage to close the damn mouths.

6. Stock disaster: the stock indexes fell to the newest low. 18,000-30,000 billion Yuan of money has evaporated. The rainy season is making so many people upset. The stock investors are crying and tears like the rain.

7. Information control: the information control made unhappy between me and a friend of mine. He believed in the propaganda, but I didn't. The information control has made me lost friendship, so I cried for the pitiful China, a nation deeply harmed by lies. The authorities always lie to me, and this time I did't make preparation to accept what the government said.

8. Nationalism: I don't like nationalism, which makes people ugly. But some other people like it as if it is the best wine in the world. They collectively attacked Mr. Chang Ping from Southern newspapers, saying he was a traitor. Will the Culture Revolution come again, I hope not.
