Wei Jingsheng Gives Lecture about China in Georgetown Day School in Washington DC, USA

 

 

In the afternoon of March 1, Wei Jingsheng was invited to give a more than one-hour long lecture to high school students and teachers in history, politics, and Chinese in Georgetown Day School in Washington DC.  This school is one of the most academically rigorous and selective institutions in Washington DC.  During Mr. Wei's lecture, the classroom was fully packed.  The lecture started with several students who are learning Chinese to introduce the life of Mr. Wei Jingsheng with both English and Chinese.  Their language skill was fluent, with glorious words in the introduction.  Mr. Wei said modestly: My formal education is only equivalent to the ninth grade in the United States, and the Cultural Revolution interrupted the learning opportunities for the young Chinese of that generation.

 

Mr. Wei's lecture started by discussing what kind of country China was two thousand years ago and what it is under the rule of the Communist Party in the present day.  The lecture also included some of the mistakes made by the United States during the modern era in China.  These mistakes started from the Chinese civil war period between the KMT and the Communst Party, until today when unfair trade harms the United States and fattens the Chinese Communist Party.  The reasons for these mistakes are mainly due to a general misconception that Americans have about the Communist Party, which is an inevitable misjudgement when one uses the common sense of normal people to interpret the law of an evil cult gang.

 

The question and answer session showed that these high school students generally have a wide range of knowledge structures and are good at thinking.  They asked questions and even touched on recent news, including the Taiwan Travel Rules just passed by the US Congress, Xi Jinping's effort to remove term limits, and whether the Chinese army is serving the country or not.  Their questions and comments also reflect that these issues do have the general concern of the Americans.

魏京生在美国首都华盛顿的乔治城私立走读学校教授中国历史

 

 

2018年3月1日下午,魏京生应邀于到美国首都华盛顿的乔治城私立走读学校给高中的师生们作了一个小时多的有关中国历史的讲课。乔治城私立走读学校是华盛顿最严谨和最具选择性的院校之一,并教育过许多美国政府高官的孩子。魏京生先生演讲时,教室里座无虚席。学习中文的几位同学用流利的中英文,向同学们介绍了魏先生的生平,其中不乏溢美之词。魏先生谦虚地说:我的正规教育只相当于美国的九年级,文化大革命打断了那一代年轻人的学习机会。

 

讲演从中国是一个什么样的国家开始,一直到现代共产党统治下的状况,其中包括美国在近代中国所犯下的错误。这些错误从国共内战时期开始,一直到现在的不公平贸易损害了美国,养肥了共产党。错误的原因主要是美国人普遍对共产党的无知,用正常人的常识去解读邪教黑帮的规律就必然产生误判。

 

提问和回答阶段显示了这个学校的学生普遍具有广泛的知识结构,并且善于思考。提问甚至接触到最近的新闻,包括刚刚在国会通过的台湾旅行法,习近平取消任期限制和中国军队是不是国家军队,等等。由此也可见这些消息受到美国人民的普遍关注。
