TIME 100: AUGUST 23-30, 1999 VOL. 154 NO. 7/8

Purged twice from power, the man with the smiling face and iron fist rebounded to become paramount leader and initiate a heady reform era

By WEI JINGSHENG

Deng Xiaoping and I were a highly unusual pair of adversaries--or, you might say, friends. We knew each other extremely well. Indeed, we understood each other better than our own friends understood us. We fought steadfastly to defeat each other, and yet at his death in 1997, no hatred existed between us. (As I'll explain shortly, Deng had decided not to continue hating me.) Our situation was a lot like that of two old friends and opponents seated on either side of a chessboard.

……

After 1989, when the massacre he authorized ensured that he would always be remembered as a tyrant, he became more introspective. His thinking and speaking changed rapidly, a phenomenon seldom seen in aging dictators. He publicly accepted the concept of market economics--also a difficult thing for a lifelong communist to do.

Finally, he asked his daughter, Deng Rong, to remove the 48 instances of his denouncing me from the new edition of his official Selected Works, and to inform my father that she had done so. This was equivalent to telling me that the things I had forced him to do had worked to his advantage. My first reaction when I heard this news was to wonder why no one had forced him to do the right thing in 1989. People tend to see only his ruthless side; they rarely notice his tolerance and ability for introspection.

I will never be able to forgive Deng for his role in the deaths of millions of Chinese from famine and persecution, nor for bringing China to the brink of total collapse. But I will continue to view his capacity for recognizing and admitting his mistakes as uncommon personal merit. Sometimes I even miss him a little. But perhaps that's because I now have to contend with less savvy opponents in the current Chinese government.

邓小平与我是非同寻常的对手,你甚至可以说我们是朋友。我们彼此有极为深入的了解。事实上，我们之间的理解超过了我们彼此的朋友对我们的理解。尽管我们力图战胜对方，但直到他1997年辞世，在我们之间并不存在仇恨。（我后面很快就会解释，邓在世时已经决定不再仇视我。）我们的这种情形非常象两个分坐于棋盘两边的老朋友在对垒。

……

89之后，当那场他授意的大屠杀使得人们常常将其记忆为暴君时，他才变得更能自我反省。他的思维和讲话很快产生了变化，这在衰落的独裁者中是一个少见的现象。他公开地接受了市场经济的概念——这对一个终身的共产主义者来说同样是件难以做到的事。

最终，他让他的女儿邓蓉从他的新版的官方选集中把对我的48项谴责取消掉了，并通知了我父亲他这么做了。这就等于是告诉我，虽然他处于优势地位，但却是我迫使他这么做的。当得知这个消息时，我的第一反应就是为什么在89时就没人能够告诉他做正确的事。人民倾向于只看见他无情的一面，却难以注意到他的宽容和自我反省能力。

我将难以忘怀邓在造成千万中国人死亡和遭受迫害时所扮演的角色，也不会忘记他曾将中国带到了崩溃的边缘。但我将一如既往地这么看，他的认识和改正错误的能力是一项非同寻常的个性上的长处。】


如果只是单独看这篇报道的话，似乎也说得过去，起码魏京生有表述他对邓小平的看法的充分自由，他怎么看邓小平那毕竟还是他自己的事。可如果把这篇报道与他近期对刘晓波的攻击放在一起看，那就令人吃惊了。

魏京生在那篇报道中称邓小平与他之间彼此理解非常之深，并将他们之间的关系比喻为两个对垒的老棋友。那可是99年的文章，是在六四之后的十年。众所周知，邓小平在六四屠杀期间是中共实质上的最高领导人，虽然现在还没有直接的证据显示是他下的屠杀令，但无数的分析和推测都把罪魁祸首指向邓小平，而且李鹏的日记里也明显地提示了这一点。加之，魏京生自己也是这么说的——“他授意的大屠杀”

当然，魏京生完全可以有他对邓小平的看法，这本属于他的自由，别人不好就此指责他什么。但问题是，既然魏京生自己都承认“那场他授意的大屠杀”，那么相比之下，刘晓波只不过是在电视上说了些实话，说他在清场过程中没有亲眼看见打死人。退一万步讲，就算刘晓波在电视上说了什么错话，但他毕竟没有参与大屠杀。更何况，刘晓波还是六四囚犯。一个是六四屠杀头号侩子手，一个是六四囚徒，对这两个人，魏京生在六四过后十年就把前者比喻为自己的老棋友，这倒也也罢了，可他居然在六四过后二十一年就把后者怒骂为六四侩子手们的帮凶！——【如果这个人不仅仅低头忏悔，而且还在专制政府官方的电视台上帮助屠杀人民的刽子手撒谎，说没看见血流成河的天安门广场死人，我们已经很难原谅他了。因为他已经成了刽子手们的帮凶。】

而魏京生骂刘晓波的这些理由首先就不成立，完全是他捏造的谎言。第一，刘晓波没有撒谎，他说在清场过程中没有看见打死人，这是实话；第二，天安门广场没有血流成河。魏京生这么骂，完全是先造谣，然后再根据自己捏造的谣言来痛骂刘晓波。 造谣本身就是无耻，把刘晓波骂成侩子手的帮凶更是恶毒之极。

更何况，魏京生要是真的对刘晓波上电视那么气愤的话，那他在当初为什么没有就此痛骂过刘晓波？而且他在二十一年那么长的时间里为什么也没有骂？而为什么在刘晓波被判了11年重刑之后魏京生才怒骂他为侩子手们的帮凶？况且，刘晓波现在正在坐牢，他连辩白的可能性都没有。再加上，刘晓波从来就没有批评过魏京生，也没有在其他什么事情上招惹过他。

可魏京生却这么干，这王八蛋到底是怎么回事？！
