Yesterday Mr. Xu Li asked me leading him to visit some architectures worth to visit in Chongqing. After one hour bus, we arrived the new campus of Sichuan Arts College, where, I personally thought, is the any place whose buildings can be called as architectures.

It has been one year since my last visit in Sichuan Arts College. There are some new architectures built or almost done in the new campus within this year. The new campus of Sichuan Arts College is surrounded with an eerie atmosphere, abounding with jowar cropland, strange sculptures along the road, knolls ranging one by one breaking the road into a stagger way. That means you as a visitor can’t grasp the landscape for the first glimpse, as if that the owner of this land was declaring an isolation from the exotic people. Indeed, they did be isolated by the boring city and daily life, didn’t they? Mr. Xu and I was shuttling through at the cropland, and amazingly, we found some original cottage concealing behind a cluster of bamboo. What a countryside scenery, peacefully and extraordinarily contrasting with a urban landscape which is only 200 meters far away from here.

This land is totally permeated by original countryside landscape, not vividly but desolately. As the urban sprawl, a lot of peasants abandoned their cropland and become building-workers, the building-workers who have been building the architecture which never belong to them onto their own cropland. Lost peasants, the crops lost the original essence of existence, and become landscapes and symbols, through which the new owners, who are as the same isolated as the peasants by the economy-oriented and efficiency-oriented era, can, express their attitude.

Mr. Xu Li told me he is a anti-urbanist, although he is a chief publisher of a architecture magazine. He was obsessed with the cottage presenting in the campus very much. So was I. But I am also obsessed with the huge elaborated artifact. Behind the cottage, over the jungle, a huge architecture stands there, lonely, tranquilly but powerfully, contrasting with not only the desolate landscape but also the ablare city. It is the library of the college designed by a famed Chinese architect Tang Hua. I was really captivated by the scenery, so solemn and magnificent. Mr. Xu Li had been shocked at that moment, but after a while, he come back to calmness, and he can’t imagine that this building saturated with power is designed by Tang Hua, because this architect in his eyes is so humble and peaceful. I explained to him that actually Tang is a metaphysician, and maybe through all his work he wants to express the reverence to divinity, that is in accordance with humility, and the aspiration to the super-mentality, that is in accordance with peace.

When we stand at the entrance space of the library, we are half surround by the huge eave, so, looking up to the welkin, we can see a half nature welkin constructed by sky, and another half is an artificial welkin constructed by concrete. Mr. Xu Li compared the two welkins, and said he has usually been moved by the grandeur of nature, because, as he said, according to the creation of nature, the individual life is insignificant, so it is really ridiculous that people have been hierarchized into different ranks, and he thought when he stand under the sky, he can feel exactly that the implication of the nature indicate the equality of Human-beings and all lives; but in the contrary, the artificial welkin, it indicate an overview gesture of rule and dominion whose fascination dose can attract people, as the consequence is devastating authoritarianism. Indeed according to human history, these kind of artificial spaces were always aligned with authoritarianism, from the alignment of ancient Rome and Colosseum to the Dome of Nazis, and the apotheosis to power have been concreting to spaces era after era. Mr. Xu Li ask me skeptically whether I am a latent authoritarianist. I answered not, and the any reason I was obsessed with these kinds of spaces is when I stood under this space, I feel I am just a mortal, and I believe that if every one feel themselves as a mortal, it is another way to approach equality.

We climbed to the top floor of the library. There is a platform over there. We can have a rest for a while. Leaning to the baluster and over viewing to the spectacular landscape, Mr. xu and I kept discussing about the interrelationship between power and space. Mr. Xu points me to look at the scenery of downstairs and said:” it is beautiful, right? Maybe the beautiful scenery is the reason that people chase power. I will be fascinated by this kind of feeling, and also be captivated by the huge magnificent architecture too, but my rational sense tell me I can’t do that, because if I don’t want to be ruled by other I will never rule others. So the most ideal world is like that…” he points at that cottage which we had just visited,” people lived here, like many ancient Chinese, are sustainable with the nature, and they taught their children with manner and traditional culture by explaining in words or communicating with hearts. That people enlightened themselves domestically, maybe it is a good way to keep traditional culture.”

After the words of Mr. Xu, I suddenly realized that what is most concerned by both of us is enlightenment. Maybe Mr. Xu’s approach is back to the countryside enlighten people domestically as the ancient chinese, while mine is to enlighten ourselves individually by using fundamental rationalism. Actually, I insist the enlightenment of self-consciousness is the only way to approach the boundary of human knowledge, beyond which there is the existence of deity where human can never arrive but just see. As other ancient subject, such as Mathematics, Geometry and Philosophy, Architecture, I personally thought, is a path to comprehend the deity. But it requires architects as the lot of us mortals enlighten ourselves by using rationalism and self-discipline, just liking what Louis I. Kahn had been doing.

At that moment, when I retrospect to the building, the death of Louis I. Kahn presents into my eyes. Louis I. Kahn is such an architect, through his work as if I can comprehend the existence of deity, because his work is so brilliant that I can’t believe it is built for the mortals. But what is more ironic is most of Kahn’s brilliant work was finally used by autarchy who thought themselves as deity. I guess this is the most grieved thing that a man who requires himself self-discipline dedicate all his life to deity but eventually found his endeavor was utilized by devil. Maybe this is just about the tragic destiny of architects. Kahn died at a lavatory in a train station, miserably and poorly, when he is in his return from Dacca where he went to for withdrawing his remuneration of design.

Maybe I should agree with Mr. Xu, backing to the country, but meanwhile I really hope something enlightening us, enlightening people, enlightening mortals and enlightening architects.

My mother called me today asking me whether everythings went ok or not, such as my physical condition, my spiritual condition, my study and research condition. My answer is all the same, indifferently, since I leaved home 9 years ago, that I am fine or it is OK, don't worry. But it seems that this kind of response did not satisfied her, she kept asking some details, as if through which she can imagine what I was doing and what I was thinking about. Although I deeply realized my mother's tootle is just because she love and be concerned about me very much, I still got impatient as a lot of young man's impatience towards eldership's tootle. I have to apologize for that now, and regret very much.

Last year, I quited from my job as a college teacher, and determined to go abroad for my further study. That decision made my parents a little bit angry, but ultimately they respected my chioce. From that time I re-picked my English learning which had been abandoned for almost 7 years. My parents worried about my English study wery much, because they know I never do very well in that subject since my secondary school study, and they are unsure whether I, a person who never check out at various English examination even in the youth age, can cope with it. They never told me their incertitude but just encourage me. To support my study, my parents always thought they should do someting for me, which just like a lot of other parent thoughted they should supply their child with special diet during the preparative time of college-enter-examination. And in my parents' opinion, this term, my english exam is more important than college-enter-exame. So that, they thought I am living in a hard time, with hard working and terrible food. I guess all the image conerned about me in my parents' eyes is that I am collapsed, tired and exhausted.

At the end of that call, my mother said maybe she should go to my apartment to take care my daily life. before I said it is not necessary, she hang up telephone and immediately took up a bus runing to my flat. I guess she predetermined it before call me, because after 2 hour bus she come in my house with prepared nut, food and various household commodity, most of which was and only can be prepared by herself. My mother decided living with me for days!

This is my food cooked by my mother, can you believe that it is cooked only with a rice cooker, which is the only cooking tool in my house. Food is very testy and nutritional!

thank you, my mother. I d like to write a article with a child style, because you take care of me as a child. that is 'I love you mom, and thank you for you love. I will good good study day day up!'

So, from now on, I will study untill I am really collapsed, tired and exhausted.

My best friends, Wang Wei and Xing Yingbo got married at their repective age of 27 and 28.

Congratulations! Thereinafter, photographs captured from the most happy time.

Few days ago, Wang Wei graduated from Berlage Architecture Institute, and acquired his master degree. After that he flew back to China and immediately submerge into his marriage. Few days after his flight landing on the Pudong international airport, my friend--Wang Wei--this poor guy lend money from his parents to buy a new car for his new family, and organised a builder group to decorate their new home.

He found a job, to work for a big architecture group consortium, and design for capitalism in china. Things go faster than time! All the things which is implemental according to individual life take place in a short time. From now on, my friend Wang Wei is not any more a kid, not any more an exiled intellectual, not any more a young crazy. He will conduct as a really adult, a husband, a professional. although, he is still a virtuous guy,a intelligent guy, a guy with critical spirit and justice consiousness.

Congratulations, my dear intimate friend. I'd like to celebrate,and also i d like to say you should live happily for your wife and your friends, and live carefully to avoid being assimilated by the middle class life style.

哈哈哈。兄弟，开心的生活，但小心被中产阶级的生活同化了。

Mr. Jing:
I watched some news on the webset of TIME. it is some reports about the tragedy occured in Xinjiang province, which has mentioned the conflict between force and local people, as what you have mentioned. But that kind of conflict was the consequence of that contingency, not the reason of that.

and another question:
do you deem a nation is proper to a country?
 it seems that the Europeans  care about that opinion very much, which can be seen from the word 'nation'. but it seems not very suited for china in the chinese opinion.
you know, from a historical view, settlement policies was adopted by governers even in the YUAN dynasty, when china was under the rule of a minority nation(you know I say that words without discrimination). and thanks to that policy, the comercial had been developed rapidly, and people tend to be less discriminating to each other, because any discriminations to the people who come from another ethnarch equals to discrimination to their own family. (I am not supporsed to advocate for the settlement policy, as which will arise to disappearance of special culture, but this problem is not the essence of our topic). So, what I want to say essentially, if Han chinese can suffer and live happily under the sway of a minority nation, and regard that effort of Mongolia empire as their own effort, treating an emperor as their own emperor, they (ancient chinese) might have no conception about notion but a country. Indeed, from the formation of society, I deem chinese people almost never separated their society into nations before modern time. How many Mongolians,obligated by the settlement policies, changed their motherland and pour into the south of China during YUN dynasty? They changed their custom from pasturage to agriculture, from roving to settling down. They was totally mingled with Han chinese and almost never come back to Siberian llano. Their offspring never tought themselfes as mogolianes or Han Chinese, not only because they are half-blooded but also they are separated into society ranks more than into nations. Ranks, in the ancient China, such as bureaucracy, landowner, peasant.
On the other hand, from a globalized view, Karl Max once wrote:'National differences and antagonism between peoples are more and more vanishing, owing to the development of bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the condition of life corresponding thereto.' Today, the world is prcisely situated into the condition as Max had predicted. No matter who in which nation wheather believing which religion or not, they had to participate in economic competion to survive. In other words, according to globalization, people more and more was separated essentially by economic relationships than  by the nationality, religion faith, cuture background. So I am confused, under the might of globalization, why so many people are caring extremely about their own national status? It seems being contravenced with the demand of capitalism, which requires the world with less barriers and less borders. Can you explain that?
you know, and you always know, I am not a advocater for selfish Han-ism, and I am not a Populist. what I cannot understand is what is precisely the essence of nation meaning?  How the nationality plays an importent roll in today's world, even more importent than to respect lives.
by the way, I called a friend this afternoon. She is from XinJiang province. She told me something, and because what she told me is what her parents witnessed, so I believed that is not rumor but truth. She said 'indeed violence happend in earlier night. some uighus criminal start to kill Han chinese in some lanes stealthily, and the second day, i.e. july 5,largescale conflict was happened concequnentely '
I want you tought about it deeply and write back in english. first for communication, and also for studing.

今天是2009年6月16日，从我爸的书柜上，拿起一本邓小平文选，发现它是按照时间排序的，基本上都是一些会议语录收入，而我手中的这本是第三卷，收录的时间是从82年到92年期间的会议语录。1989年正是在这个时期中。突然转念，想看看小平同志在20年前的今天是否开过一个会议，说了什么重要的话，因为89年的6月16日，毕竟离那件重要事件相隔不远。刚好还真有这么一篇。与这篇文章在时间上相近的还有一篇是6月9日的会议纪要，由于某种原因，我就不贴上来了。在此贴上这篇，以表纪念。

引自邓小平文选第三卷，1989年6月16日

我们中国共产党现在要建立起第三代的领导集体。在历史上，遵义会议以前，我们的党没有形成过一个成熟的党中央。从陈独秀、瞿秋白、向忠发、李立三到王明，都没有形成过有能力的中央。我们党的领导集体，是从遵义会议开始逐步形成的，也就是毛刘周朱和任弼时同志，弼时同志去世后，又加了陈云同志到了党的八大，成立了由毛刘周朱陈邓六个人组成的常委会，后来又加了一个林彪。这个领导集体一直到“文化大革命”。

　　在“文化大革命”以前很长的历史中，不管我们党犯过这样那样的错误，不管其成员有这样那样的变化，始终保持了以毛泽东同志为核心的领导集体。这就是我们党第一代的领导。

　　党的十一届三中全会建立了一个新的领导集体，这就是第二代的领导集体。在这个集体中，实际上可以说我处在一个关键地位。这个集体一建立，我就一直在安排接班的问题。虽然两个接班人都没有站住，但在当时，按斗争的经验、按工作的成就、按政治思想水平来说，也只能作出那样的选择。况且人是在变化的。

　　任何一个领导集体都要有一个核心，没有核心的领导是靠不住的。第一代领导集体的核心是毛主席。因为有毛主席作领导核心，“文化大革命”就没有把共产党打倒。第二代实际上我是核心。因为有这个核心，即使发生了两个领导人的变动，都没有影响我们党的领导，党的领导始终是稳定的。进入第三代的领导集体也必须有一个核心，这一点所有在座的同志都要以高度的自觉性来理解和处理。要有意识地维护一个核心，也就是现在大家同意的江泽民同志。开宗明义，就是新的常委会从开始工作的第一天起，就要注意树立和维护这个集体和这个集体中的核心。只要有一个好的政治局，特别是有一个好的常委会，只要它是团结的，努力工作的，能够成为榜样的，就是在艰苦创业反对腐败方面成为榜样的，什么乱子出来都挡得住。从这次事件看出，工人阶级靠得住，农民靠得住，解放军靠得住，知识分子是工人阶级一部分，也是靠得住的，但是如果中央自己乱了阵脚，那就难说了。这是最关键的问题。国家的命运、党的命运、人民的命运需要有这样一个领导集体。

　　我在跟李鹏、姚依林同志谈话时说过，新的领导一经建立有秩序的工作以后，我就不再过问、不再干预大家的事情。我说过，这是我的政治交代。当然，你们有事要找我，我不会拒绝，但是不能像过去一样。我不希望在新的政治局、新的常委会产生以后再宣布我起一个什么样的作用。为什么这样？这不是因为我谦虚或别的什么。现在看起来，我的分量太重，对国家和党不利，有一天就会很危险。国际上好多国家把对华政策放在我是不是病倒了或者死去了上面。我多年来就意识到这个问题。一个国家的命运建立在一两个人的声望上面，是很不健康的，是很危险的。不出事没问题，一出事就不可收拾。新的领导一建立，要一切负起责任，错了也好，对了也好，功劳也好，都是你们的事。这样你们可以放手工作，对于新的集体自我锻炼也有好处。何况过去那种办法并不算很成功。现在我八十五岁了，到了这个年龄，该有自觉性。主要是大局的问题，如果个人的因素影响到局势的稳定，影响到事情的健康发展，解决起来就会发生困难。如果有什么事情，我完全可以在旁边帮帮忙，但是绝不要正式再搞个什么头衔了。

　　这次发生的事件说明，是否坚持社会主义道路和党的领导是个要害。整个帝国主义西方世界企图使社会主义各国都放弃社会主义道路，最终纳入国际垄断资本的统治，纳入资本主义的轨道。现在我们要顶住这股逆流，旗帜要鲜明。因为如果我们不坚持社会主义，最终发展起来也不过成为一个附庸国，而且就连想要发展起来也不容易。现在国际市场已经被占得满满的，打进去都很不容易。只有社会主义才能救中国，只有社会主义才能发展中国。在这一点上，这次暴乱对我们的启发十分大，十分重要，使我们头脑更加清醒起来。不走社会主义道路中国就没有前途。中国本来是个穷国，为什么有中美苏“大三角”的说法？就是因为中国是独立自主的国家。为什么说我们是独立自主的？就是因为我们坚持有中国特色的社会主义道路。否则，只能是看着美国人的脸色行事，看着发达国家的脸色行事，或者看着苏联人的脸色行事，那还有什么独立性啊！现在国际舆论压我们，我们泰然处之，不受他们挑动。但是，我们要好好地把自己的事情搞好，这次事件确实把我们的失误也暴露得足够了。我们确实有失误呀！而且失误很不小啊！

　　下面谈谈最近抓什么工作的问题。不能等暴乱完全平息，现在就要一面抓彻底平息暴乱，一面清理一下我们过去究竟失误在哪些方面，如何改正，以及现在急迫需要解决的是些什么问题。要统统抓、全面抓是不可能的。如果在这个时候开展一个什么理论问题的讨论，比如对市场、计划等问题的讨论，提出这类问题，不但不利于稳定，还会误事。现在需要聚精会神地做几件使人民满意、高兴的事情，同时要赶快注意那些对我们前进不利的事情。

　　第一，经济不能滑坡。凡是能够积极争取的发展速度还是要积极争取，当然不要求像过去想的那么高。现在主要是我们基础工业薄弱，缺少电和原材料。而在原材料的分配中，小企业吃了大企业，结果国家损失大。这次解决经济滑坡的问题，要清理一下急需解决哪些问题。应该解决的问题要加快解决，要用快刀斩乱麻的办法解决，不能拖。当断不断，要误事。看准了的，积极方面的，有利于发展事业的，抓着就可以干。要在今后的十一年半中争取一个比较满意的经济发展速度。如果再翻一番，没有水分的翻一番，那时候人民就会看到我们的国家、我们的社会主义事业是兴旺发达的。党中央、国务院应当是有权威的，有能力的。没有权威不行啊。我建议组织一个班子，研究下一个世纪前五十年的发展战略和规划，主要是制定一个基础工业和交通运输的发展规划。要采取有力的步骤，使我们的发展能够持续、有后劲。我曾经讲过，经过这次事件，我们只要认真总结过去，考虑未来，我们的发展也许不但更稳、更好，而且可能会更快一点。这件坏事变成好事的可能性是有的。农业问题也要研究，最终可能是科学解决问题。科学是了不起的事情，要重视科学。

　　第二，做几件使人民满意的事情。主要是两个方面，一个是更大胆地改革开放，另一个是抓紧惩治腐败。

　　开放方面的工作主要是国务院来做。要把进一步开放的旗帜打出去，要有点勇气。现在总的是要允许吃亏，不怕吃亏，只要对长远有益就可以干。要多做几件有利于改革开放的事情。外资合作经营要搞，各地的开发区可以搞。多吸引外资，外方固然得益，最后必然还是我们自己得益。税收方面可以收一些税，为外资服务的行业可以搞一些，我们自己也可以在那里搞一些有利可图的企业，这样就可以搞活。现在国际上担心我们会收，我们就要做几件事情，表明我们改革开放的政策不变，而且要进一步地改革开放。在政治体制改革方面，最大的目的是取得一个稳定的环境。我跟美国人讲，中国的最高利益就是稳定。只要有利于中国稳定的就是好事。坚持四项基本原则任何时候我都没有让过步。美国人骂娘，造谣，没什么了不起。消除机构臃肿，加强法制，这些都是改革。

　　惩治腐败，至少抓一二十件大案，透明度要高，处理不能迟。在这次事件中，没有反对改革开放的口号，口号比较集中的是反对腐败。当然，这个口号在某些人来说是一个陪衬，其目的是用反腐败来蛊惑人心。但对我们来说，要整好我们的党，实现我们的战略目标，不惩治腐败，特别是党内的高层的腐败现象，确实有失败的危险。新的领导要首先抓这个问题，这也是整党的一个重要内容。你这里艰苦创业，他那里贪污腐败，怎么行？惩治腐败的问题，请你们专门议一下。

　　我们一手抓改革开放，一手抓惩治腐败，这两件事结合起来，对照起来，就可以使我们的政策更加明朗，更能获得人心。

　　第三，平息暴乱抓到底。这是个好机会，一下子就把全国的非法组织取缔了，这实在是好事情。处理得好，就会取得一个很大的胜利。对于罪大恶极的不能手软。当然还是要分别是非轻重，要以事实为根据，以法律为准绳，还是要讲坦白从宽抗拒从严的政策。手段还要是多种的，以体现我们的政策。

　　以上我说的三点，现在要集中做好。还有一点，常委会的同志要聚精会神地抓党的建设，这个党该抓了，不抓不行了。

Succession and Rupture

I insist that the establishment of People's Republic of China and the revolutions been consequent upon the establishment are the greatest movement in human history. But, what I mean great is not result from the accomplishment of that movement —actually, the revolutions are over of failure— but what the revolutions had created as a totally new experience of society reconstructed beside capitalism form. So, even there did be some kind of dissatisfaction about it, such as the tendency of authoritarianism and the catastrophe of culture revolution, but the fact is no more country bad been conducting like that conducted in China, and people in other country never had right as much as that of Chinese people which can participate the whole political life of their country. The conclusion is the revolutions happened in China is dramatical enough to absorb world’s eyesight, and is great enough to be reflected on. Despite of the dramaticalness and significance, Mao emphasized times without number that the Communism revolution led by him is some kind of extension of the democratic revolution led by Mr. Sun Zhongshan. So, even China has been dominated by two different Parties, the principle and objective that request of democracy and equal are successive.

Primary objectives internalized in Reform and Opening-up is, according to cosmopolitan environment, to improve productivity and to inherit engagement and ideal of Socialism. Deng once used vulgar words to represent his stable but frangible faith of socialism. What I mean frangible is not the weakness or unself-trust of Deng but that Deng was concerned whether that reform would deflect our country from socialism trajectory. Being afraid of any irrelevancy, Deng said: “we should use both hand to grip both mental civilization and material civilization, and both hand should be strong enough.” The material civilization is meant to promote productivity, while griping mental civilization means persistence the fundamental morality of socialism that civil moral self-conscious and responsibility of social con-construction.

In the other words, no matter the establishment of People's Republic of China or the Reform and Opening-up, both of these should be treated as a successive process after May 4 movement. What they are engaged in, no matter called revolutions or reform, is dedicated to a totally new society, the form of which is besides that of capitalism to which permanent exploitation is proper.

The situation was changed stealthily after 1989. Any attempt of reconstruction and doubt about polity was counted for mental un-liberation. People gradually aware that discussing polity is useless, and intellectuals were marginalized rapidly and stealthily. As the end of political argument, the subsequence is disappearance of Public Sphere, which incurs the unsteadiness of fundamental morality: civil moral self-conscious and responsibility of social con-construction. People lost superiority complex of socialized morality never care about common fate of our society, but concentrate to the way to enrich. Their life went extremely from one terminal to another, a politics life to a business life. Meanwhile, this transformation that life appealing for public sphere diverted to life appealing for individual material is encouraged intensely by potentate. In comparison with appearances of working model, the appearances of millionaire become more popular in television screen. Our society need new mouthpiece to be adapted for new ideology. In the same with transformation occurred to individual, dominators transferred their interesting from proposing political slogans to participating global commercial competition. From 1989 on, China, as a most magnitude impulse, not only attached herself to the process of Neoliberalism but also embraced Commercialism ideology, which, in Pierre Bourdieu’s opinion, would actually result in perpetual exploitation.

The transformed ideology implied a undoubted fact that the revolution occurred in the end of 1980s is a significant event which ruptured a successive process of Chinese socialism progress.

Years of 9

The years containing numeral 9, according to political fate of China, are always significant and dramatic. It was in 1919, May 4, New Culture Movement burst out from Peiking University. That movement participated by students and led by enlightened philosophers and progressional litterateurs had induced an very profound change in China. It has been hallowed as an initiatory genesis of democracy and freedom and justice. 30 years past that, a new country established in 1949. Thenceforth, People's Republic of China commenced the most dramatic and imaginative Socialism Progress over the world. A second 30 years past, it was in 1979, another political event occurred to China, which is called Reform and Opening-up. China embraced the whole world and become the main impulse of Globalization finally—as a socialism country. 10 years after that— all the same “year of 9” —another revolution broken out superficial calmness urgently. Thitherto, after oppression to those counter-revolutionists, China approached her new era, which we call it as harmonious era.

Yes, today, Chinese people lives in this kind of harmonious life. In comparison with the era of harmony, which implies stability and mediocrity, the era before 1989 seems abounded with turbulence and stimulus, which are proper to revolution. Suffering from a long-term pain of revolution, Chinese people need new life style more peaceful and rich, just as they had been promised by the leader at the initiation of Reform and Opening-up. As the mainstream of social ideology changed into commerce, Chinese people hate revolutions. I am not supposed to advocate for revolution. Actually any kind of incendiary article is not welcome in my opinion. What I want to say is we must recognize that what happened to China in 1989 is influencing our country and our daily life so deeply, which announced the end of an old era in human history.

It was in 1949, Mao stood on the Tianmen gate and declared divinely the end of old era and Chinese people had stood up thence on the world. And since 1979, we can see the image about development of our country from TV broadcasting day by day. We believe that a different era is emerged stealthily, and we did feel happy for that. Those two events conducting disappeared eras and emerged eras were deemed by many historians as the most important thing according to Chinese modern history, which changed fundamentally the hypostasis of Chinese society. While many historians tread the revolution happened in 1989 as a contingency during a whole progress of the Reform and Opening-up. But in my individual opinion, that “contingency” have split the history of modern China which is separated into Socialism China and Neoliberalism China, and the influence of that “contingency” maybe more profound than events happened in 1949 and 1979.

我想在此提醒大家，这决不是一场关于法制技术的讨论，别让那些居心叵测的技术官僚看似关怀的告诉你我们国家的法制是如何的不完善，审判细节是多么的不合程序，事实上这些讨论是讲这个事件温和的限制在一个看似“合理又合法”的陷阱之中的阴谋。

多说无益，任何有自己独立思考能力的人，请自己去看看这些细节的指向以及背后真正动机的可能性。

再次说一下：Y`A`N`G +不是李红字，国家集体暴力诛杀这样一个作为个体的个人是一个愚蠢的想法。

不惮以最大的恶意来揣测中国人

鲁迅曾说“我向来不惮以最大的恶意来揣测中国人”。鲁迅这么说是因为他对国人的绝望。然而今天我想以最大的恶意来揣测那些居心叵测、心怀不轨的中国人，却不是因为心中还抱有对这个国家和法制的希望。无论希望还是绝望，都不是动笔写这篇文章或故事的原因，更谈不上愤怒，仅仅是因为对一件白痴都看得出来愚蠢的暴力事件却横行在一个由世界上最为聪明和明智的政党领导下盛世之时的和谐社会中的震惊。

昨天上午，Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A死了，从主流媒体的报道得到的信息是因为袭击警察局并刺杀警察致死，而后被绳之以法，处决。这是一个毫无偏差的逻辑，没错，依法依理依情，Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是死不足惜。但稍微关注过此案的人便发现从这个逻辑出发其背后那些细节的分支和毫不符合逻辑的事件告诉我们也许事情没那么简单。这个故事我们得分两种仅仅是可能的事实作为出发来分析或者揣测。第一种可能是Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A确实杀了警察，那么按逻辑，分析就需要陈述杀警动机和定罪过程。杀警动机的相关事件在此我也不在多加累述，百度一下大家都可知晓，但从杀警动机——被警察施暴在前，杀警在后——来讲，虽然逃脱不了法律的制裁，但至少我们可以将“依法依理依情”中的“依理”和“依情”去掉——Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的死刑判决是依法执行的。但事实真正如此么？在定罪过程中，如果真正依法，那么关于这个事件的那些为数不多的证明材料为何迟迟不提供？为什么为了否认Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的精神病史（因此可以依法免除死刑）而囚禁一个具有合法政治权力的公民——Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的妈妈（以此避免对证明Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A袭警是处于精神不健康的状态提供有利证据。具有讽刺意味的是囚禁Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的妈妈的依法的“正当理由”正是断称其有精神病。）为什么社会人士本着一个在我们国家被主流意识形态认同和极力宣传的说法“法制社会”为出发点，想有关部分提请查阅各种“证明材料”的合理请求受到种种阻挠？为什么一个根本不符合常理的剧情——“Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A在5分钟内从一楼杀到21楼，在这个过程中有其中的7秒种连续杀死4个警察”——这个连基本的日常经验都可以否定的速度的说法却成为定罪的“铁证”？

为什么？这是为什么呢？试着去分析并告诉大家事实是不可能的，因为那些真正知晓这些为什么的居心叵测的人比任何一个我们都更清楚所谓“依法”的实证主义逻辑。我不期望也无能从中为大家提供足够有力的线索，但在这些为什么的背后都共同指向了一个目的，那就是一定要弄死Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A。

Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是何许人也？有劳一大帮掌握着国家暴力机器和意识形态机器的高级精英，费上九牛二虎之力要去格杀？我想在我国甚至整个人类的历史上享此“荣誉”的人无非只有三种：一是国家暴力机器的敌人，例如有战争中敌军的首脑，也有美国被刺杀致死的肯尼迪总统；二是国家意识形态的敌人，例如有被教皇烧死在十字架上的声称地球是球状的达斯科里；还有就是某些不可见人的丑闻的败露者或替罪羊。然而Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是一个普通得不能再普通的个人，他既不是二战中维系到整个人类生死命运的希特勒，也不是要推翻社会主义意识形态的李洪志。一帮子人，不顾法律的尊严，不顾个人颜面，不顾社会呼吁，不顾民众的耻笑，发了疯，气急败坏的，迫不及待的要弄死一个普通得不能再普通，如果放置于人群中甚至可能并不那么出众的年轻人，这真的显得过分的可疑。

这是一个毫不关心社会政治的人、甚至白痴都能认清的简单道理——最初Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A案得到社会关注并不是应为这些可疑，而是被报道出来袭警的超快速度。一个摆在大家眼皮低下的公共事件，本应该成为这个社会树立现在正在积极宣传的“法制”意识形态的典型，使一个本来大家都已经看到的事件的宣判审理过程中的法制原则。多么难得的机会啊？可惜，现在这一事件却成为一件就算在表面上也渗透出“反法制”痕迹的可能的丑闻。我不相信！除了不相信Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是一个拥有超快杀人速度的超能力拥有者，还不相信这一明显的“立牌坊”逻辑的事件会被一个相当聪明的领导集团搞成一件“当婊子”的事件。我真想痛心疾首的对这件案件中涉及到的诸位领导说一声：“您怎么会——这么蠢啊？不是——我觉得人不能蠢到这种地步。”

但是，这句话说出口，我却发现，真正愚蠢的不是那帮人，而是我自己：相信人蠢到这种地步的人才是真正的愚蠢者。是我的无知，让我以为这只是死伤的警察的家属和同事的报复行为，是以人之恶的复仇来代替法律的制度，是以命偿命的旧的恶习凌驾在法律之上。是我的天真，让我忽略了上海警方的事件却成为上海－北京警方甚至全中国国家权力的事件。是我的愚蠢，让我轻信这是一场关于法制之争的讨论。是我的浪漫，使我认为动笔为大家讲个故事就能让相关人等开始反思社会公义和真正法制的方向。

但是我却战战兢兢的开始在各个事件之间的关系中找到一些揣测的线索，并以最大的恶意揣测在这个事件背后那有可能真正可怕戏剧化的情节。但同时，尚保留着对法律的敬畏，对理性和逻辑的信仰，对实证主义的遵从，因此首先在此声明，这个在最大的恶意下的揣测并不是告诉大家真相，我从未试图在强力庇护之中寻找某种真相，而事实上，我们每个人从未生活在真相中，齐泽克告诉我，真相从来就是我所看到的幻象。如真是如此，那么就在幻想的瘟疫里开始这个以最大恶意揣测的故事吧。

弄死Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是某些人所认为的这一事件的结束，和不可更改的“事实”伴随着的“真相到来”。我们向来都以“结案”和“定性”二词作为真相到来的“宣告语”。尽管这个宣告语听上去是那么的理直气壮，尽管其假以正义的名义，但丝毫没能掩盖住深藏其中的猫腻。这件本来发生在上海警局的事情从北京方面将Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的妈妈以精神病为理由关进精神病院的那时起，就暴露了这件事情决不可能只是一件简单的仇杀袭警案。为什么身处两个城市各行其责互不相关的权力机关会不谋而合的隐藏对Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A有利的线索？别试着以“官官相卫”的说辞来简单解释马虎了事，如果说上海警方为多年共事而产生了深厚的战斗友谊情感的同事报仇的心态超越了法制，要一心一意为同志报仇是可以理解的，那么在北京将Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A妈妈关进精神病院的那帮人也是出于这种情感么？如果说是为了给死去的警察讨公道就太搞笑了。法律同样会为死去的警察讨公道。那么到底是处于什么动机和动力会使北京这个并不受管于上海警局的那帮人要完成这一背弃法理和情理的事情呢？我不敢说我知道，但是真正在一个事件当中能够调动各个城市不同权力暴力的集团只能是出于这些城市权力等级再上一级的集团。因此这个被以最大恶意揣测的故事可能的实际上是要一心一意弄死Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的不是上海、也不是北京，而是高于上海北京的那个集团。可我不禁要反问我的智商，难道Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A的能力构成了对这一集团的严重威胁？当然不是。那么面对一个个人，完全能以真正的法律和正义的名义，以公开化的法制措施来处死一个人——对于一个集团来讲，这真是一件不费摧毁之力的事情——为什么要费劲心计，拐弯抹角，花九牛二虎之力来掩盖这件事情某些已经被掩盖并且毁尸灭迹的证据？而且最后的这一次审判，由国家最高人民法院这样等级的权力介入也对这些事实视而不见。这背后到底隐藏了怎样的动机和真相？我不想说这是一个简单的逻辑，但事实是……

实际上真相已经随着证据和当事人的消失而不可能存在了，谈论真相是一个像我这样脑子反映迟钝的人干的事情。

在此，我不能以比最大的恶意更大的恶意来揣测这个故事发生的真正动机了。

我绝不能以更大的恶意来引导大家相信美剧《越狱》中所展开的那精心动魄的曲折情节以及超出人类智商可以理解的科幻般的阴谋实际上发生在现实世界。

我也绝对不能以更大的恶意来坚定的怀疑Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A是否真有杀过人。

我也绝不能以更大的恶意来相信一个利益集团的内部利益冲突甚至可能因分赃不均导致的流血暴力事件，最后开心的找到一个出现在事发前后不久的时间内的绝世倒霉蛋做了替罪羊的故事。

我甚至不会以更大的恶意来告诉大家，对一个全能的集团来说完成上述事情是多么的容易，多么的吻合逻辑。

我仅仅以最大的恶意来陈述一个事实，那就是审判过程中的那盘可能被编辑过的不完整录像资料，在Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A需要证人的时候作为证人的妈妈的消失，以及作出终审判决的不是上海市法院，而是国家最高人民法院……

最大的恶意已经够可怕的了，别以更大的恶意之名来揣测……那就把这些故事留做在这个河蟹横行的时代，知识分子笔杆牢骚下的佐证与市民饭后的谈资以及想象吧。如果在河蟹横行的时代这些都被禁止，那么就留做几十年或者几百年后小说家和电影导演的素材，我想，那一定不是一部政治或历史的记录片，而应该是一部启发后人智商的科幻片。

以最大的恶意为名，提醒大家，这个事件决不是一场关于“法制”之中技术和策略的争论的事件，别让这一争论蒙蔽了双眼，别让那些技术官僚来左右您的判断，更别在这个时候以提所谓“法制”来掩盖这件事情的真正动机。更不是“当代英雄”和“不仁暴君”之间的战斗。Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A不是英雄，别愤怒而因为愤怒来鼓吹英雄；更别相信那些居心叵测的鼓吹者，因为和谐时代不需要英雄，英雄概念本身就和和谐的意识形态是相佐的；别上当，暴力正求之不得这样的鼓吹，这正是他们将诛杀“合法化”“自然化”的借口；也别自欺欺人，别以为你就不是千万个Y`A`N`G ``J’I’A中的一个。而是流氓人治和暴力叙事的去国家化权力和现代国家表面形式之间深刻悖论的一个事件。

最后，以一个只动笔的懦弱的个体，用最大的敬意，向那个脾气暴躁的可爱老头艾未未以及所有在这个事件中充满正义感并且行动起来的律师和社会人士们致敬。

除了看建筑和聊建筑，我尝试着玩下调酒。我来上海，汪维家为此囤了不少酒和饮料，现在各个品种全数打开，包括那瓶辗转南美卡拉卡斯到荷兰鹿特丹再到中国上海，最后进了我肚中的加勒比海盗朗姆酒。我在试出各种酒喝饮料的密度后，小心翼翼的把它们倒到一个不怎么专业的玻璃杯中。开始只是蓝色的碳酸饮料和朗姆酒调制，后来加入了中间层的红酒，颜色看上去就要专业多了。第一张图是在加入红酒后最专业的一杯，朗姆的酒精度数相当高，用火机点燃后可以直接拿到酒吧去买。不过味道不怎么搭调，红酒层太酸，混在其中，回味口苦。但也管不了那么多了，插入吸管，下面的饮料冰凉爽口，上面的朗姆被火烧得温烫，差点没呛着我。

第二张图这杯显然难度就大了很多，乡土材料也用上了，底下是蜂蜜，顶上是泸州老窖。调出来色泽不错，顶上三层颇像德国国旗，仿照酒吧命名法，给这杯酒取了了特通俗易懂的名字：Swimming Germany（漂浮的德意志）——蓝色为海，黄色为沙。建筑师鄙视的地产命名学在此也用上了。

后来还实验过几种，本立志调出十层，西瓜汁、红茶都用上了，但终以失败告了。
