在中學上過歷史課,你可真正知道歷史是什么?
天天說政治,又有多少人知道政治是什么?
網上流傳一首詩,作者是一位水牛城大學榮休教授,用對比的手法道出了歷史的變化和當前東西方政治的矛盾,人們怎樣利用歷史作政治本錢,利用輿論作政治手段,原詩如下:
When we were the sick man of Asia,We were called The Yellow Peril;
When we are billed to be the next Superpower,We are called the threat;
When we closed our doors,You smuggled drugs to open markets;
When we embrace Free Trade,You blame us for takingaway your jobs;
When we were falling apart,You marched in your troops and wanted you fair share;
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again,Free Tibet you screamed;
When we tried Communism,You hated us for being Communist;
When we embrace capitalism,You hated us for being Capitalist;
When we have a billion people,You said we were destroying the planet;
When we tried limiting our munbers,You saud we abused human rights.
當我們仍被譏笑是東亞病夫時,你們不忘說我們是黃禍;
當我們被標簽為未來超級大國時,你們忙不迭散播威脅論;
當我們閉關自守時,你們千方百計用鴉片拓市場;
當我們奉行自由貿易時,你們譴責我們影響就業;
當我們國家分裂時,你們的軍隊立即長驅直入要分割部分;
當我們謀求一統時,你們尖叫西藏獨立;
當我們嘗試共產主義時,你們表示憎惡;
當我們擁抱資本主義時,你們表示嫉妒;
當我們有過億人口時,你們說我們破壞地球;
當我們努力控制生育時,你們指摘我們沒有人權!
