Scholars Have Hope for the Chinese People

On
the occasion of the 56th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, some high level German
government officials offered wreathes to the Berlin Wall Central Memorial and
said that history should not be forgotten. Some overseas Chinese scholars also took this opportunity to
express their expectations for the Chinese people and hopes that all sectors
can work together to turn off the "Berlin Wall" in China that confine
the Chinese people.
According
to RFI via German media, Minister of Culture and Media Monika Grütters,
Cultural Secretary of the Berlin State Klaus Lederer, and chairman of the
Berlin State Council Ralf Wieland, went to the Berlin Wall Central Memorial to
lay wreathes on Sunday. Monica Grütters
said that everything related to the Berlin Wall was German history and should
not be forgotten.
Berlin
Mayor Michael Muller said that the Berlin Wall was a symbol of lack of freedom,
dictatorship and contempt for human rights.
Construction
on the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961 under the leadership of the
Socialist Unity Party of Germany, and split Berlin for 28 years.
It
is estimated that at least five thousand people tried to climb the Wall in an
attempt to enter West Berlin. But
from 1960 onwards, the East German border guards began to shoot those who tried
to go across the boundary, so many people who tried to climb over the wall were
shot. The official figures claimed
that more than a hundred people were shot and killed, but the outside world
believes that the real number was much higher.
Of
these, the "to raise the gun a centimeter" story is widely
circulated. An East German soldier
Ingo Heinrich shot and killed the young Chris Gueffroy who tried to cross the
Berlin Wall. What he did not
expect is that he was tried for murder after the Berlin Wall was torn
down. His lawyers argued that the
soldiers were only following the command without a choice to choose. But the judge still pointed out that as
a guard, he would be guilty if did not execute what the superior ordered, but
he would not be guilty if he did not aim correctly. The guards had the choice to raise the guns for one
centimeter, which was their obligation of conscience that they should have
taken the initiative to bear.
Ciping
HUANG, the executive director of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation based in the USA,
said that this story would help the Chinese military officers and soldiers to
realize that the military belongs to the nation but not the Communist
Party. It is also the biggest revelation
to China at this 56th anniversary of building Berlin Wall.
Ciping
HUANG: "The nationalization of the military has even been suggested by
some senior officers in the Chinese military. In 1990 when I went to the former Soviet Union, I asked
their military commanders, if the government asked you to slaughter the people,
what would you do? They said that
certainly we would not, because we have our brains. If you ask the current Chinese army, although many people do
not dare to speak, but if you quietly ask them or ask the retired soldiers, you
realize that they do have a rather strong concept of democracy and
freedom. So if the Communist
regime asked them again to kill, I think a lot of people would reflect on, or
even turn around their aim against the dictators."
Kang
WANG, a Chinese folk scholar, thinks that the history of the Berlin Wall has a
strong significance of learning in China.
Now the whole border of China is the Berlin Wall. It was built in 1949.
Kang
WANG: "The most fundamental issue about the value of the Chinese people's
life is that the Chinese people have no freedom of speech regarding the choice,
the road and the fate of China, not at all. If there is freedom, then the price for that freedom is the
prison."
On
November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was torn down. People in East Germany went to the West like a flood. The East Germany of the socialist camp
officially disintegrated. The
people of East Germany walked out of the high wall and greeted their freedom.
Today,
high-level officials in the German government continuously remind its citizens
not to forget about the injustice in East Germany and the history of the Berlin
Wall,.
Ciping
HUANG: "We should look at how the Berlin Wall collapsed. It collapsed after the June 4
suppression in China in 1989. At
that time, the Communist leaders of Eastern Europe went to Beijing and their
consciences were awakened. Thus it
brought out a series of very dramatic changes in November. Out of an accidental event, there were
inevitabilities. One of the
inevitabilities is that these people in East Germany still had the most basic
conscience and humanity. A second
inevitability is that people yearn for freedom - the people of Eastern Europe
yearn for freedom, and the people in China also yearn for freedom."
Ciping
HUANG thinks that today's China is the same; the collapse of the Communist
Party is inevitable, but the issue is to see which fuse will light this barrel
of explosives. She expressed that
the Chinese people are the masters of the creation of a good history, and
everyone has the responsibility to overthrow the "Berlin Wall" that
prevents democracy and freedom in China.
When everyone takes the initiative to do a little bit, this wall will be
overturned.
And
Kang WANG said that he has found a new world in the WeChat since the second
half of last year.
Kang
WANG: "The younger generation has their era of globalization through
information and the Internet. They
learn more truth in this world through various channels, which greatly
contributes to the self-enlightenment and self-liberation of the Chinese.
Kang
WANG said that to get the real information is the premise to judge, to pursue,
and to choose the truth. When the
real information replaced the Communist lies, and enter the hearts of more and
more Chinese people, then China has hope.

【禁闻】柏林墙56周年，海外学者寄望中国人民
纽约时间： 2017-08-14 04:48 PM
【新唐人2017年08月14日讯】柏林墙（Berliner Mauer）建墙56周年之际，德国一些政府高层前往柏林墙中央纪念地献了花圈，并表示历史不能被遗忘。一些旅居海外的华人学者也藉此机会，对中国民众表达了他们的期望，希望各界能共同努力，早日推翻禁锢国人的〝柏林墙〞。
法广引述德国媒体报导，德国文化国务部长莫妮卡(Monika Grütters)、柏林州文化部长克劳斯（Klaus Lederer）和柏林州议会主席拉夫（Ralf Wieland），周日前往柏林墙中央纪念地献花圈。莫妮卡说，柏林墙的一切都是德国历史，不能被遗忘。
柏林市长穆勒说，柏林墙是不自由、独裁和蔑视人权的象征。
柏林墙是原东德在社会统一党的领导下，于1961年8月13号开始建造，分裂柏林28年。
为了进入西柏林，当时估计至少5千人试图翻越围墙。但东德边防军从1960年起就开始向越境者开枪，因此不少翻墙民众遭到射杀。官方数字称约有一百多人遭射杀，但外界相信实际远高于此。
其中〝把枪口抬高一厘米〞的故事广为流传。一名东德士兵亨里奇，开枪射杀了想要翻越柏林墙的青年克利斯。但他没想到的是，柏林墙被推倒后，自己会因杀人罪而受审。虽然律师辩称士兵只是执行命令，没有选择权利。但法官指出：作为警察，不执行上级命令是有罪的，打不准是无罪的。士兵有把枪口抬高一厘米的选择，这是应主动承担的良心义务。
美国魏京生基金会执行主任黄慈平表示，这个故事能让中国的官兵们认识到，军队属于国家而不属于党。这也是柏林墙建墙56周年给中国最大的启示。
美国魏京生基金会执行主任黄慈平：〝军队国家化已经被（大陆）一些比较高级的军官提出来了。1990年我去苏联，就问那些军官，如果政府让你们开枪屠杀人民，你们会怎样？他们说那当然不会，我们也是有脑子的。你去看看现在的中国军队，虽然很多人不敢讲，但是你去悄悄的问他们或者问退役的军人，他们的民主自由观念是非常强的。所以如果共产党再说我要你们去杀人，我觉得很多人会反省一下，甚至会调转枪口来对准独裁者。〞
中国民间学者王康认为，柏林墙的历史对中国有强烈的借鉴意义。现在整个中国的边界线，都是柏林墙。它在1949年就建立起来了。
中国民间学者王康：〝最根本的，中国人生活的价值意义，中国的选择上、道路上、命运上，中国人是没有言论自由的，一点都没有。如果有自由的话，代价就是监狱。〞
1989年11月9号
，柏林墙被推倒。东德公民如潮水般涌入西德。社会主义阵营的东德正式瓦解，走出高墙的东德人民迎来自由。
然而时至今日，对于原东德的不公正、柏林墙的历史，德国的政府高层不断提醒国民不要忘记。
黄慈平：〝我们应该看一下柏林墙是怎么样倒塌的。是在中国64镇压之后倒塌的。当时东欧的共产党领导人到北京去，良心发现有醒悟，所以才在11月份有一系列非常戏剧性的变化。在这个偶然性里头有必然性，必然性之一是这些人还有最基本的良知、人性，必然性之二是人民向往自由，东欧的人民向往自由，中国人民也向往自由。〞
黄慈平认为，当今中国也一样，共产党垮台是必然，只是看哪根导火索会把这桶炸药点着。她表示，中国人民是创造好的历史的主人，每个人都有责任去推翻阻止民主自由的〝柏林墙〞，每个人都主动做一点点，这堵墙就会被推翻。
而王康表示，去年下半年开始，他在微信上发现了一个新的世界。
王康：〝年轻的一代，他们的全球化时代通过信息、互联网，通过各种渠道了解到世界更多的真相，这样大大有助于中国人的自我启蒙和自我解放。〞
王康说，掌握真实信息是判断、追求、选择真理的前提。当真实信息替代了共产党的谎言，进入到越来越多的中国人心中，那么中国就有希望了。
