【新唐人2012年3月7日訊】曾經參與設計北京奧運體育館「鳥巢」的艾未未，目前在北京的家中遭當局嚴密監控。日本《讀賣新聞》3月5號報導，艾未未在接受採訪時透露，他在奧運會進行期間就明白了，中共只是把體育館和奧運「作為自我歌功頌德的舞臺」。他發現，自己被政府用來散播愛國教育，因此醒悟過來，奧運之後，他沒看過鳥巢。艾未未在採訪中指控當局「道德淪喪」，已進入了「絕望的階段」。
艾未未告訴《讀賣新聞》：「北京奧運是用最新科技和安全部門70萬名警衛，來壓制一般大眾的生活，那只是為了一黨向世界宣傳自身光榮的舞臺而已。」
他表示，中國大陸政府「在追求沒有言論與思想自由、片面的實用主義，目前正處於道德破產的絕望狀態。」
艾未未母親高瑛：「 鳥巢開幕式，他沒有參加，他肯定有意見，有想法。他既然這麼說了，那就是他的想法。」
政論家伍凡：「 艾未未被打了，他就深入的去思考：共產黨不僅是對他這樣，對更多的人也是如此，對整個中華民族、對所有的老百姓以及他內部的高官、基層官員都是如此，它只顧眼前利益，我要用呢時就用你，不用你就把你當垃圾，當你狗屎堆把你扔掉。」
艾未未告訴《讀賣新聞》：「獨裁體制最大的罪惡是泯滅人類的情感。」他說：「因為我童年經歷過各種苦難，而且有許多人支持我，所以能承受這種處境。然而，我懷疑一般人能否維持正常心態。」
伍凡指出，中共的所作所為使艾未未清醒了：無論你為中共做了多少，只要它對你不滿意，就要把你至於死地。過去很多從國外回來想幫中共的知識份子，最後被打成右派、折磨死，就是例證。
艾未未一直是中共當局認可的藝術家。但08年汶川大地震後，艾未未到災區現場，意識到「豆腐渣」建築物是奪去眾多孩子性命的罪魁禍首，他不顧當局強大的阻力開始調查，在地震一週年的日子，他公布了5 385名地震中遇難孩子的名單。
去年4月初，國際上「茉莉花革命」興起的時候，艾未未在沒有司法訴訟的情況下，被秘密關押近3個月，在國際上引起震驚。艾未未表示，當你試圖了解這個國家的時候，你已經走上了犯罪的道路。
去年底，艾未未被當局罰交稅款1522萬元人民幣，短短几天，有近2萬中國居民給他提供借款超過600萬元。
伍凡：「 艾未未這件事情上也激發了一批有良知的知識份子的覺醒，可是，永遠不會覺醒的一批人，死跟著共產黨走，最後這批人也與跟著倒楣的，也死無葬身之地。6：24——6：31有良知的人是永遠不會相信共產黨的，有良知的人會越來越多。」
中共在國內竭力打壓艾未未，但他在國外名聲越來越響。
記錄片《艾未未：永不認錯》(Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry)，1月25號在美國猶他州「聖丹斯電影節」上舉行了首映，並於28號在「世界記錄片」競賽環節中贏得了評委特別獎。
艾未未的攝影與攝像展，本月底將在巴黎的網球場博物館開展。
《法國國際廣播電臺》表示，中國政府在艾未未事件上越來越進退兩難、不知所措。給他自由將對政權構成巨大的威脅，將他關起來，只會使他的支持者們日益增多。

Ai Regrets Designing Bird’s Nest
Ai Weiwei, who participated in the design of Beijing’s
Olympic Stadium Bird’s Nest, is currently under strict monitoring in his home in Beijing by the authorities.
Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun reported on March 5, about Ai’s
realizations during the Olympic Games.
In an interview Ai said, the Chinese Communists Party (CCP)
used the stadium and the Olympics’ as a stage for self-praises.’
He found he was used by the government to spread
patriotic education, and he awakened.
After the Olympics, he did not look at the Bird’s Nest.
During the interview, Ai Weiwei accused the authorities
as “morally bankrupt,” and entering a stage of despair.
Ai Weiwei told Yomiuri Shimbun: “The CCP used the latest
technology and 700,000 guards in the security departments.
This was to suppress the general public during the Games.
It was just a stage to broadcast to the world its own glory."
He said that the Chinese government is seeking “no freedom
of speech or thought, one-sided pragmatism, and is currently in a desperate state of moral bankruptcy."
Gao Ying (Ai Weiwei’s mother): “He did not participate in
the Bird’s Nest opening ceremony.
He must have his opinions and thoughts.
Since he said so, that is what he thinks."
Wu Fan (Political commentator): “Ai Weiwei was beaten.
So he thought it over: CCP does not treat only him like this.
The CCP treats all people, the entire Chinese nation,
even its internal high-level officials like this.
It only cares about its own benefit. It uses you when
it needs to and treats you as trash when you have no use.”
Ai Weiwei told the Yomiuri Shimbun: “The worst sin
of dictatorship is killing the nation emotionally."
Ai continued: “I experienced all kinds of suffering
during my childhood. Many people helped me.
So I was able to withstand such a situation. However,
I doubt many people can keep a normal state of mind."
Wu Fan pointed out how CCP woke up Ai Weiwei. No matter
how much you have done for the CCP, it will kill you if you show you are not happy with it.
In the past, many intellectuals returning from abroad hoping
to help the CCP, were eventually labeled rightists and killed.
Ai Weiwei was once recognized by CCP as an artist. After
the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Ai went to the hit areas.
He realized poor construction quality was the No.1 killer
of many children who died during the earthquake.
He started an investigation in spite of resistance
from the authorities.
On the first anniversary of the earthquake, Ai published
the names of 5,385 children who died during the earthquake.
Early last April, when the Jasmine Revolution spread on, Ai
was secretly detained for 3 months without a legal procedure. This act of CCP shocked the world.
Ai had said that when you try to understand this country,
you are in the risk of committing crimes.
At the end of last year, Ai received penalty on tax evasion
for RMB 15 million (US$2.4 million).
In a few days, nearly 20,000 people lent RMB 6 million
(US$ 1 million) in total to help Ai.
Wu Fan, “Ai Weiwei’s case was also a wake-up call
for intellectuals’ conscience.
However, some will never wake up, still following
the CCP to its dead end, which brings their misfortune.
People with consciousness will never trust the CCP,
and those people will become more and more.”
The CCP’ furious suppression of Ai Weiwei seems to produce
the opposite effect, and Ai becomes more famous in the world.
The documentary on Ai Weiwei: “Never Sorry,” was
premiered on Jan. 25, at the Sundance Film Festival in the US.
In addition, on Jan.28, the documentary won
a special Jury Prize in a competition.
Ai’s photography and video exhibitions
will be held in Paris Museum.
Radio France Internationale reported that CCP is in a difficult
situation with Ai’s case, it doesn’t know what to do next.
If it is to free Ai, he will be a great threat to the CCP regime;
if it is to detain him, Ai’s supporters will increase day by day.
