淡定的外交部

8死7傷,這個數字無論是對香港遇難者的家屬還是全球華人來說都是無比沉重的。此次人質營救行動被廣泛的斥為“教科書式的失敗”,香港撤回了往菲律賓的所有旅遊團,鳳凰網的投票有六成表示從此不去菲律賓旅遊。

大家的憤怒還沒有平息時,淡定的中國外交部展開了著名的三部曲:對已故的兇手表示譴責,對遇難者的家屬表示慰問,對千夫所指的菲政府表示協商善後事宜。

由於此次被劫為人質的為香港公民,大陸外交部的淡定表現相比港府的激烈反應不免顯得有點尷尬,實際上是一種無奈之舉。

雖然大陸的軍事論壇里整天充斥著憤青五毛“解放台灣”,踏平日本,爭雄美國之類的豪言壯語,但中國政府歷來無法对自己本國的公民僑民在外的人身安全給予保護,其信奉的“不幹涉他國內政”原則多少只能讓國人在外被綁架挾持后只能祈求人家解救人員的水平不要像菲律賓警察一樣爛。

更加神奇的是,政府還會對在外國民的安全事件裝聾作啞,媒體也不會大肆報導此類新聞。本月8日,北韓扣留了上有三名中國公民的南韓漁船,中國作為北韓的“盟國”,應當理直氣壯要回自己的公民。然而事實上中國政府并沒有往這方面努力,媒體更沒有關注報導。如果此次美國前總統卡特訪朝能讓北韓釋放“大承號”船員,那麼中國事實上也要靠美國人來救自己的公民,這將是種莫大的諷刺。

A day of mourning

The State Department of China announced that August 15 would be a day of mourning for deaths in Zhouqu landslide, this would be the the third time of national mourning event for the massive natural disaster after Wenchuan earthquake and Yushu earthquake in recent years.

Zhouqu landslide

The landslide in Zhouqu county, Gansu Province, has caused 1239 deaths and 505 men missing. The recent rain made the rescue become more difficult. The whole town was silted up, which requires a long time to rebuild. As Zhouqu county is an extremely poor place in western China, the local economy recovery will highly depend on state appropriation.

National mourning

To condole the deaths in landslide, the state flag will fly at half staff across the whole country and embassies on August 15. Meanwhile, any public entertainment will be shut down, which also includes online games and online videos. On this day, any online speech to against the condolence will be deleted or angrily criticized in order to show respect for the deaths as a whole nation.

A man-made disaster

Even though the expert said that the landslide was mainly caused by continuous heavy rain. It is still not a real natural disaster. The core reason to cause the landslide is soil erosion, as the result of mass vegetation destruction in upper Bailong river. The town is built in the valley, which is always threaten by flood and landslide. In 2005, Global Times had posted a article about the serious situation of soil erosion in Zhouqu county, exposing that the local disaster is man-made. After the landslide, this article was ordered to be deleted to cover the truth. The expects have been trying to weak the anthropogenic factor to explain the reason of landslide.

Mourning is not enough

Any question about whether it needs a national mourning will be commented as lack of respect of deaths. But there is few people who think about the lesson in this disaster and how to avoid it. A far more serious issue beyond is how to monitor the local office corruption after they controls the folk domination and state appropriation.

你三俗,你們全家都三俗

歷史總是比較諷刺的,曾經轟轟烈烈的文革打倒了不知多少“封建思想餘孽”,造成當代中國文化思想的空虛與低俗,到如今高層諭令要抵制“庸俗,低俗和媚俗”了。

 反三俗一如既往的繼承了建國以來的各種思想運動的風格,即運動由高層下令,具有行政效令,卻沒有法律支持,多數運動的結果在今天看來,顯然都不能說它成功了。如果參照過去,我們還能發現諸如“反對資產階級自由化”的指令還是比較清晰明確,而三俗卻是不折不扣的模糊詞,因為誰也沒能嚴格分辨到底什麼才是三俗。既然三俗沒有標準,那麼判斷三俗的重任就自然落到了地方的有關部門上,他們必然要揣摩上意,卻因無統一標準而做出各種匪夷所思的事來。等平民百姓想說時,他們便會呵斥道,你們這是三俗!

如果把三俗看成是反對現今氾濫成災的拜金主義和“秀溝”,那麼這是否又是“只許州官放火,不許百姓打燈”呢?官員在道德的製高點上對民眾指手畫腳時,能否想想自己有沒有貪了納稅人的錢,背著原配在外亂搞呢?在如今上訪怕被圍毆,舉報怕被秋後算帳,網上評論怕被刪除的年代,誰還敢去管官員三俗呢?這時我們發現,三俗其實是種特權。

《1984》說,禁慾和政治上的正統性有種直接的親密的關係。也許再過不久,天朝人就要被迫去爭取自己最原始的慾望了。
