【新唐人2013年06月22日訊】中國上個世紀中葉發生的那場大饑荒，餓死了數千萬人。四川省，是大饑荒中死亡人數最多的地區，多數研究者認為，四川省餓死了1,000萬到1,200萬人之間，光四川雅安地區中部的滎經縣，就餓死了一半的人口。去年3月，原由雅安市政協牽頭，準備出版的大饑荒紀實材料，在中共「十八大」後匆匆剎車。但書稿材料被整理為《大劫難》一書，輾轉經由香港出版，並悄悄在中國內地印刷，遺憾的是，《大劫難》最終仍遭中共圍剿。
四川雅安地區中部的滎經縣，是古代南絲綢之路的重要驛站。土地肥沃，水草豐茂。在1959年至1962年的三年大饑荒期間，這個小縣城竟餓死了一半人口。
去年3月，雅安市政協把滎經大饑荒的紀實材料匯齊，準備出一本「三年人禍專集史料」，為中央重新評價前黨魁毛澤東提供重要依據。可是，中共召開「十八大」之後，滎經縣委有關領導，分別向參與此書的編寫人員打招呼說，出版就此了結，不刊印了。
負責編輯此書的童梓平，眼看那麼多澄清歷史真相的資料不能面世，憤然決定自費印刷。但是，全省沒有一家出版社敢於出版。最後，北京作家鐵流找到香港《真相出版社》，才使這樁發生在53年前的大慘案，終於面世發聲。
鐵流向《新唐人》表示，在三年大饑荒期間，中國大陸餓死了3千多萬人，有人說4千多萬，但他的老家——四川就餓死了1250萬人。
北京作家鐵流：「我的母親就是那個時候餓死的。我的叔叔也是那個時候餓死的。全國最厲害的縣是哪個縣，你知道嗎？是四川的滎經縣，四川滎經縣是個小縣，12萬人口餓死了6萬多人。那這個《大劫難》是全部現在所有活著的人，活下來的人口述，講那個年代發生的事情。有照片，有事實，他們有一個是縣委書記，有的是公社書記，有的是大隊長，有的是醫生，有的是廠長，有的是社員。」
鐵流還介紹說，像《大劫難》這樣揭示歷史真相的書，在大陸不可能拿到出版證號，只能找香港出版社。但是香港出版的書刊進不了海關。因此他們決定在大陸尋找印刷廠偷偷印刷。幫忙印製此書的朋友不但採取多地印刷，還採取封面、內文、膠裝三分離的合成辦法。一切作業都在秘密中進行。
但是，最後《大劫難》還是被文化特務盯上。鐵流說，而從香港寄給滎經縣的80本樣書，一到郵局也被警察沒收了。
現年87歲的童梓平是滎經縣第一任副縣長，也是這場災難的目擊者、和親歷者。他在《大劫難》中口述說，當年四川省委書記李井泉是全中國執行左傾路線的所謂「模範」，他傳達毛澤東當時的講話說：中共「同農民的矛盾就是國家要多拿一點，農民想多吃一點的矛盾。」於是，中共同農民的爭執點就是爭奪糧食，當時中共要求「死人也要完成糧食上調任務」。
童梓平還說，他在家中，聽說山上煮人肉吃。又聽到，有人把死去的親生兒子大腿肉割下煮著吃。他說，面對如此慘重的情況，滎經縣領導卻對外封鎖信息，派專人在郵電部門把守，查閱電訊和來往書信。派民兵把守交通路口，堵截企圖外出逃荒要飯的人——餓死可以，外逃不行！
童梓平認為，面對這樣一個慘絕人寰的大慘案，半個世紀以來，不僅沒有一個人站出來承擔責任，公開道歉，反而諱莫如深、掩蓋真相，企圖消除記憶。但是53年過去了，滎經人無法忘記這段血淚的歷史。
童梓平說，真相在民間，真相在人心，倖存者們通過父子相傳、口耳相傳、筆墨相傳、網絡相傳記下這段歷史，並且要把這場大劫難，轉變成教訓，昭示後人。

Chinese Communist Party Press Control Stops Publication Of
A Book Revealing The Truth Of The Great Famine
During China’s Great Famine between 1959 and 1962,
many millions of people died of starvation.
Sichuan is one of the provinces suffering terrible depopulation.
Most researchers believe that about 10 to 12 million
were starved to death during the Great Famine.
Yingjing County, located in the middle of Ya’an,
Sichuan even lost half its population.
Last March, the municipal Political Consultative Conference
of Ya’an were prepared to publish documentary evidences
about the Great Famine, but suddenly stopped the plan after
the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 18th National Congress.
After discussion the raw information was finally published
in Hong Kong as a book titled “The Great Disaster”.
Regrettably, although the authors tried to secretly publish
the book in mainland China they failed to escape the CCP’s strict control over press.
Yingjing County, in the middle of Ya’an area, Sichuan province,
was once an important post on the southern silk route.
It has very good natural resources such as fertile lands,
lush grass and fresh water.
However, the small county was depopulated by half
during the Great Famine between 1959 and 1962.
Last March, the municipal Political Consultative Conference
of Ya’an collected documentary materials about
the Great Famine to publish a book titled
“Historical record of the three year man-made calamity”.
This will provide critical evidences for the CCP Central
Committee to reappraise Mao Zedong.
However, after the 18th National Congress concluded,
party leaders of the county told the writing group that
the plan had been terminated and
the book would be no longer published.
To prevent the historical truth from being concealed,
Tong Ziping, chief editor of the book, decided to publish it at his own expense.
No publisher in Sichuan had the courage to publish the book.
At last, Beijing writer Tieliu contacted a publisher in Hong Kong.
The disaster that happened 53 years ago in Yingjing County
was finally revealed to the public.
Tieliu told NTD that, over 30 million people died of
starvation during the three year long Great Famine.
Some also claim the deaths are over 40 million. In addition, just
in his home province Sichuan, 12.5 million people had died.
Tieliu, Beijing writer: ”My mother died at during
the Great Famine. So did my uncle.
Do you know which county suffered the most in China?
It is Yingjing County in Sichuan.
Yingjing is a very small county, and half of the
120,000 residents died of starvation.
So the book “The Great Disaster” recorded the local stories
during the Great Famine that were told by survivors.
There are many photos and facts revealed in the book.
The survivors came from many backgrounds.
There was a county party secretary, district chiefs of people’s
communes, doctors, directors and commune members.”
Tieliu further said that “The Great Disaster” or any book
revealing historical truth about the CCP will never get a publication license in China.
Only Hong Kong will publish them. However,
Hong Kong publications cannot go through CCP customs.
They decided to secretly publish the book in China mainland.
To safely complete the publication, Tieliu’s friend
not only printed the book at multiple locations,
but also did the cover printing, text printing and
adhesive binding separately.
Every step was carried out secretly.
The publication was still found by CCP cultural agents.
According to Tieliu, 80 sample books mailed from Hong Kong
to Yingjing were also confiscated by police at the post office.
87-year-old Tong Ziping was the first deputy county
governor of Yingjing. He was also a witness of the disaster.
According to his interview in the book, back then the
provincial party secretary Li Jingquan was regarded as a “model” in following the leftist route;
When passing on Mao Zedong’s talk, Li said “the contradiction
between the CCP and peasants is that the party wants to
collect more while the peasants want to eat more”.
The CCP needed to battle with the peasants for crops.
The Party commanded its officials “the demand of crop
collection has to be met even at the cost of human lives”.
Tong Ziping also said that during the famine
he had heard some ate human flesh in the mountains.
That some cut thighs from the body of their dead son to eat.
However, under such a disastrous situation,
what the county leaders did was only block of any information leaking to the outside.
They assigned people to guard the post office and
inspect telegrams and letters.
Militia blocked the way to stop those escaping
to other counties.
They would rather see death of residents
than their escaping the famine!
Tong Ziping remarked that in the past 50 years nobody has
stood out to claim responsibility or apologize for the disaster.
Furthermore, the party always attempted to cover up
the truth and remove the memory from people’s minds.
However, as 53 years passed YIngjing people still could
not forget such a history of blood and tears.
Tong said, the truth is always among the people
and stays in their hearts.
Survivors will tell the story to their children, record
history in writings and spread the truth on the Internet,
to make it an important lesson to the descendants.
