Wake up（378）

 

378

 

Wanru is a student at the Central Plains College of Humanities. Although she has not obtained a doctorate, she is the favorite student of psychology professor Shen Zhirui. During the gathering at the Cafe Bau restaurant in Hong Kong, she reunited with Nan Yangsheng, Qin Xiling, Lin Beixue, Shen Haidong, and Zhou Yuzhong, a group of doctoral students, and especially shared a table with two professors, Shen Zhirui and Hong Wenxuan. She was very excited. But she didn't care about politics, and she didn't chime in.

At this time, Shen Zhirui said to Wanru: Why don't you say a few words, I really want to know how young people today view today's society.

Wanru said: Sorry, I really don't know anything about politics. Just now the old dean Bai Yu issued a report card for Hu Wen's ten years, I was very surprised. Because my childhood was spent in these ten years. My father's youth was spent during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution. I had almost no feeling about the Cultural Revolution, and my only impression was that Mao Zedong, the red sun, came out. I hope that Dean Bai Yu will also issue a report card for the ten years of the Cultural Revolution.

Lin Beixue interjected: Wanru is right, please tell us about Mao Zedong's achievements during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution.

Dean Bai Yu smiled: In my mind, Mao Zedong is the red sun that never sets, and Mao Zedong's power is unmatched by anyone in the world. I can only sing his praises. To evaluate Mao Zedong objectively, I still ask Professor Hong Wenxuan, a professor of sociology, she is open-minded and free from restraint.

Professor Hong Wenxuan also laughed: I am an old woman, nothing to be afraid of, I tend to say negative things when I am in the Mainland, but I am even more nagging in Hong Kong. Where did Mao Zedong's power come from? I think Mao Zedong's strength comes from the ignorance and weakness of grassroots groups, and he is the master of the ignorance of one billion Chinese people. No matter from which angle you look at the "Cultural Revolution", it is a great spectacle unprecedented in Chinese history and in the history of the world, and perhaps still unprecedented, and the initiator of this revolution, Mao Zedong, has also become a mysterious figure. Because, before Mao Zedong was alive, no one in China could make even speculative evaluations of him, and after his death, he still haunted the land of China as a ghostly shadow.

Professor Hong Wenxuan started nagging:

After history has passed, people will not be given a second chance to choose. Even if they regret it, there is nothing they can do. There will never be another Mao Zedong born on the land of China, and there will never be a billion people who believe in and worship a person so devoutly, and there will never be a person whose image, voice, movement, and words can He has the absolute authority of Mao Zedong, so that no one dared to say "no" to Mao Zedong before his death; For him, the Chinese do not have the courage to publicly flog the corpse, and when they deny him, they look shy.

"Mao Zedong complex" has become the innate inheritance of contemporary Chinese people. On the one hand, this shows that the ignorance of the Chinese people has reached the point where they have to shout "long live" three times after being ravaged. On the other hand, it also shows that the success of Mao Zedong as an individual has eclipsed all the emperors in Chinese history.

At the beginning of this century, when Mao Zedong, a rustic peasant from the countryside of Hunan, first entered Beijing, he was ridiculed and scorned by many prestigious cultural figures at the time; It was not until the "Zunyi Conference" that no one dared to come forward to clean up the mess after the Long March. Mao Zedong used his courage and adventurous spirit to conquer the party that excluded him and marginalized Zhang Guotao, another CCP strongman. Moreover, those intellectuals and senior bureaucrats of the Communist Party never imagined that after 1949, they would become Mao Zedong's playthings one by one. Mao Zedong's skill in "struggling with others" and playing political games has reached the highest level of "the law that cannot be done is the best law".

Professor Hong Wenxuan said:

Mao Zedong ruled China for 27 years. From 1949 to 1976, he only did these things: killing rich people, educated people, thoughtful people, people with good family conditions, and To kill educated people, to kill people with ideals, to kill people with backbone, to kill people with sympathy, to kill people with hard bones, to kill people with morality...Mao Zedong reigned for 27 years, from the beginning In the end, they were punishing people, killing hundreds of millions of people, and finally ended with the ten-year Cultural Revolution.

If you open the credit book of the great leader Chairman Mao and make a report card for him, it will be very shocking to the world.

Professor Shen Zhirui interjected: As long as he is alive, no one knows what will happen tomorrow?

Professor Hong Wenxuan sighed:

I think that Mao Zedong is undoubtedly the most successful person so far if he is only limited to the scope of China and evaluated from the perspective of Chinese history. No one understands the character of the Chinese people better than him, no one is more familiar with the art of strife within the authoritarian regime, no one is more ruthless, adaptable, and rogue than him, and no one can dress up like a red As bright as the sun. In the hands of Mao Zedong, the traditional Chinese people-centered thinking has become "Long live the people" and "Serve the people wholeheartedly", and he can make the people gain nothing through a series of campaigns. He seems to be fighting against the whole of China with his own strength, just like the relationship between a tall and strong man and a weak and submissive little girl.

Which emperor in Chinese history can rival Mao Ze in terms of power and prestige? He pushed the traditional Chinese autocratic regime and the ignorance and weakness of the Chinese people to an unprecedented extreme. In the power struggles again and again, he made full use of the weakness of the Chinese character, attacking opponents like a cat catching a mouse, how many people who used to be more powerful than him in the Communist Party, and had a higher position than him, bowed down to him one by one. underfoot. "Ask the vast land, who is in charge of the ups and downs?" The early ambition turned into reality decades later. Once he is on the throne of power, he will be used for life.

In China, he can despise everything, every action of his has a reasonable basis, every word of his is inspired by God, and he has created a unique art: unreasonable is the only truth.

Professor Hong Wenxuan continued:

However, if we look at the scope of the entire world and look at the progress of world history, Mao Zedong failed completely. He failed to push a brand new China to the world, failed to change the course of world history, and failed to become a global political leader who influences international affairs. He is just repeating the thousands of years of Chinese history, falling into the vicious cycle of reincarnation and unable to extricate himself. It is not that he does not have the ambition to dominate the world, otherwise, he would not have broken with the Soviet Union, let alone create the political myth that "China is the center of the revolution in the third world", nor would he be generous for his own international status. For the sake of poor and blank countries, a lot of money will be given to those backward countries for nothing.

It was indeed Mao Zedong's ambition to become the super-leader of a superpower other than the United States and the Soviet Union. But he has more than ambition but not enough ability. He did not have the strength and wisdom to create a strong China to confront the United States and the Soviet Union, and naturally he did not have the strength to elevate himself to the position of an international leader. Mao Zedong's deeds are all in line with all the traditional Chinese dictators, but there is no sign of moving towards the modern world. He was thrown far away by the advanced culture of human beings, so he could only be closed and shrunk in his own body, venting his unlimited desire for power and possession in the internal purge. Playing China, Mao Zedong is easy; but playing the world, he is like a land rich man who only knows how to stick to two acres of land, for fear of being snatched away by someone. This is completely the character of a peasant uprising leader.

In China, from the first day he announced the founding of the People's Republic of China on Tiananmen Square, he kept tossing and tossing, becoming more exciting and happier each time, until the "Cultural Revolution" reached the climax of his life. Mao Zedong not only took advantage of the ignorance of the Chinese people, but also took advantage of the Chinese people's desire for attack and destruction that has been suppressed for a long time and has nowhere to vent. The system he established and the revolution he launched did not direct people's vitality to creative and constructive aspects , but to the destructive and destructive aspect, and to havoc and destruction.

The "Cultural Revolution" was also an explosion of the vitality of the Chinese people, especially the youthful passion and excess energy. Through the reckless beating, smashing, and looting, as well as grand revolutionary celebrations, the participants were heartily vented. I feel the satisfaction of a kind of vitality release from it. But facing the world, Mao Zedong failed again and again, and was even too weak to face himself.

Mao Zedong is indeed qualified to laugh at Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and Genghis Khan galloping across Eurasia. Compared with him, these emperors are indeed inferior in intelligence and personality. But he has no capital to compare with those world political leaders, because the political system created by these people belongs to all mankind, while Mao Zedong only belongs to China, and his crimes are serious. At this point, I think Mao Zedong is also extremely pitiful, because in China, the opponents he faced were of such poor quality that they could not even constitute opponents at all. Mao Zedong was playing table tennis with a player who always lost to him 21-0. This kind of confrontation can make him feel good, but it also makes his victory worthless.

Under Mao Zedong’s rule, every Chinese person was zero, and a billion zeros added up to still be zero, so Mao Zedong also became zero in the end.

Mao Zedong's situation is exactly the same as that of the entire Chinese nation. When I closed the door and looked at myself, I felt extremely beautiful, like a masculine man with a dazzling culture of thousands of years; A wrinkled old child on crutches who needs breastfeeding, a culture with a long history is like a vulgar ancient costume, which is useless except as a display. To put it sarcastically, Chinese people lived not as human beings but as slaves in modern world history. A series of political movements launched by Mao Zedong, while satisfying his personal desires, expelled himself and all Chinese people from the human race.

Everything Mao Zedong could do was due to his personal charm on the one hand, and the gift of Chinese culture on the other. The ignorant and weak Chinese and the eternal authoritarian regime provided Mao Zedong with the best stage to show his talent. The plays he directed on this stage, although there are sensational plays such as "Anti-Rightist", "Great Leap Forward", and "Four Cleansing", but these are all imitations, completely replicas of the methods of another autocratic demon, Stalin. . The masterpiece that belongs to Mao Zedong himself is the "Cultural Revolution". This is a work created at the cost of the great sacrifice of the whole nation. It is unique in that it has developed despotism to an unprecedented level. Therefore, for the Chinese nation, Mao Zedong is nothing more than a sinner through the ages. From negating the "Cultural Revolution" to negating Mao Zedong is a historical necessity.

  Professor Shen Zhirui interjected again: However, for China with thousands of years of feudal tradition, it is not easy to completely negate Mao Zedong, just as every anti-feudal campaign in modern Chinese history ended in failure. In contemporary China, I think the main reasons why it is difficult to completely negate Mao Zedong are as follows:

First of all, it is the cultural heritage of the Chinese people to only fight against faint emperors and corrupt officials but not autocracy and imperial power. In previous reforms, people attributed corruption to the corruption of a certain ruler's moral personality and ideological errors. Finding "Mingzhu" and "Integrity Officials" is a dream that Chinese people have had for thousands of years and are still dreaming today. Otherwise, how could people have pinned their hopes on Mao Zedong and others after 1949? In other words, as long as people still believe that only authoritarian socialism and dogmatic Marxism can save China, they believe in political and ideological dictatorship Only then can China be saved, even after Mao Zedong is denied, there will be a second or third Mao Zedong.

It is not that the corrupt monarch and corrupt officials corrupt the autocratic regime, but that the autocratic regime innately produces the corrupt monarch and corrupt officials. If there is no guarantee of democratic politics, anyone in an autocratic government will become a faint king and a corrupt official, and this has nothing to do with personal qualities. The meanest politician cannot get his way in a democracy, and the noblest politician will get his way in an autocracy. Without the guarantee of a constitutional system, any person in power will move towards dictatorship. Therefore, if we only negate Mao Zedong as a fatuous and tyrant instead of negating him as a contemporary representative of decadent despotism, then we have done nothing, and the result can only be to replace the old dictatorship with a new one. By. With luck, an enlightened dictator will replace the stupid dictator.

However, no matter what, autocracy is still autocracy, and it will never become a democracy because of the enlightenment of autocracy. In this sense, the most important thing is not to negate Mao Zedong as an individual and a faint king, but to negate Mao Zedong as the general representative of the entire autocratic regime. However, since the reform, the criticism of Mao Zedong has still remained at the level of "only opposing the foolish emperor and not the autocracy". What's even more ridiculous is that people are vying to flaunt themselves as "Masters" and "Integrity Officials" in the denial of faint kings and corrupt officials.

At this time, Dean Bai Yu smiled. He said to those former young students: What the two professors said not only taught you a political lesson, but also made me, an old man, re-reflect on my past words, deeds and thoughts. Times have changed, when the world opens its closed doors for us, we can learn about the outside world through the Internet. You can examine whether the people in those capitalist countries are living in dire straits. The future of China belongs to you young people. Belong to the new generation who can think independently.
