VOA
Issues and Opinions: Wei Jingsheng Talks About Passing the Torch of the Spirit
of the 1989 Democracy Movement in China

A
full 26 years have passed since the June 4 Massacre in Beijing that shocked the
world. 26 years is a span of a
generation, and China and the world have undergone tremendous changes. However, memories of the people of that
bloody repression have not faded along with the passage of time.
One
highlight of this year's commemoration of the June 4 Massacre was a group of
young people who were born around 1989 who have consciously and courageously
joined the rank of memory and remembrance of the Massacre, after they learned
the truth of this event. In their
own words, "It is a disloyalty to forget history; it is an injustice to
the deceased to forgive the butchers." Today, the "Issues and Opinions" program invited
Wei Jingsheng, the chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, to
talk about passing the torch of the spirit of the 1989 democracy movement in
China.
Wei
Jingsheng told VOA's "Issues and Opinions" program that there is a
need to correctly understand the word "revolution", as the voice for
revolution in China is rising again.
The meaning of "revolution" includes fundamental changes
brought about by means of violence and by means of peace. Although the June 4 Massacre is further
and further away from us, the "open letter" from the younger
generation this year illustrates that the new generation growing up in China
has an even more clear and persistent pursuit for historical truth and
political legitimacy.
Wei
Jingsheng said that the spirit of the 1989 Democracy Movement in China was to
pursue anti-corruption, democracy, the good life and basic human rights, all of
which are a natural human pursuit.
With the crackdown of the Communist regime on June 4, 1989, we missed a
good opportunity for political reform in China -- after all, back then, the
whole country had clearly chosen the side of reform, including the State
Council. Although the pursuit of
political reform of the 1989 Democracy Movement was not successful, it shocked
the world, and also changed the global political landscape. Inside China, the Holocaust on June 4
has not only stopped the steps toward economic reform in China, but also led to
the social instability in China today -- and an authoritarian government that
has to spend more money to maintain stability than on its military in an effort
to monitor and control people's minds, words and actions. Now, we see Xi Jinping continues to use
the lawlessness of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping in an effort to preserve his
one-party dictatorial rule.
Wei
Jingsheng further stated that although we see very few Chinese people
commemorating the June 4 Massacre, that does not mean they have forgotten or
lack inspiration for democracy and human rights in their hearts. On the contrary, the Chinese people
under the close monitoring of the Chinese Communist regime are gathering a huge
energy for reform. This energy
will erupt and spread at the right time of the revolution.

美国之音"时事大家谈"：魏京生谈六四精神薪火相传
宝申
最后更新 03.06.2015 23:44
华盛顿-
震惊世界的六四屠城已经过去了整整26年。26年跨越了一代人，中国和世界都发生了巨大的变化。然而，人们对那场血腥镇压的记忆并没有随着时间的推移而淡漠。
而今年纪念六四的一个亮点，就是一大批八九年前后出生的年轻人在了解了事件的真相后，也自觉和勇敢地加入了缅怀和纪念的行列。用他们的话来说，"遗忘是对历史的不忠，宽恕是对逝者的不义。"今天的时事大家谈邀请中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生，谈谈六四精神的薪火相传。
魏京生对美国之音时事大家谈说，随着"革命"的呼声再度高涨，有必要为"革命"二字正名。"革命"的含义包括暴力的手段以及根本性的和平变革。六四的年头虽然距离我们越来越远，但是今年的"公开信"事件说明，正在成长起来的中国新一代对历史真相和政治合法性具有更加明确和执著的追求。
他说，当年的六四精神追求的是反腐、民主、美好生活和基本人权，这些都是人性的自然倾向和追求；反观共产党镇压六四，政治改革的好时机的确被错过，毕竟当年至少包括国务院办公厅在内的全国上下都明确站在要求改革者的一边；六四关于政治改革的诉求虽然没有成功，但是它却震惊了世界，也改变了全球政治格局；而在中国国内，六四大屠杀不仅阻滞了经济改革的步伐，也导致了中国社会今天的不稳定：一个独裁的政府动用超过军费的维稳费来监督和控制人民的思想、言论和行为；我们看到，习近平为了延续一党统治，正在沿用毛、邓的无法无天。
魏京生还说，虽然我们看到，纪念六四的中国民众寥寥无几，但这并不等于他们内心对民主和人权不认同、不向往；相反，在中共严密监控下的中国民众聚集着巨大的改革能量，这种能量将在恰当的革命契机中爆发和蔓延。
