【禁闻】文革红卫兵道歉 校友呼吁勿忘历史

【新唐人2014年01月15日讯】1月12号,北京师大女附中“老三届”的20多名学生,与30多名老师、家属举行见面会。他们向“文革”中受到伤害的校领导、师生道歉。而“女附中”校友王友琴多年来收集材料,揭示“文革”期间学生打死老师的惨痛往事。她敦促中国人勿忘历史,反省历史。

1966年8月5号,“北京师大女附中”副校长卞仲耘被批斗致死。卞仲耘为北京市第一位死于“文革”批斗的教育工作者。

现任“芝加哥大学东亚语言文化系”高级讲师的王友琴,是“女附中”校友。她撰写的《文革受难者》这本书当中,有卞仲耘的列传。

芝加哥大学东亚系高级讲师王友琴:“师大女附中是北京第一个打死校长的。在全国据我调查是第二个。在南京8月3号就出现了这样的事情。然后后来就是8•18的时候。”

文革期间,“北京师大女附中”的“红卫兵”领袖宋彬彬,是上将之女。

根据《文革受难者》介绍,1966年8月18号,宋彬彬在天安门给前中共党魁毛泽东戴上红袖章。当时毛泽东问她名字,得知她叫宋彬彬后,毛泽东回道:“要武嘛。”两天后——8月20号,中共机关报《光明日报》发表文章:《我给毛主席戴上红袖章》。作者署名“宋要武”。

王友琴:“她在天安门上,有跟毛泽东有关于‘要武’的谈话。那么我们现在看历史看的非常清楚。在8•18之前,北京有两个老师被打死了。一个是宋彬彬所在学校的老师。”

宋彬彬文革后赴美,并拿到地球化学博士学位,曾出任美国环境分析官员,已入籍美国。12号的见面会上,宋彬彬向当年在校的所有老师、同学道歉。她说,由于“担心别人指责自己‘反对斗黑帮’,她没有、也不可能强势去阻止对卞校长和校领导们的武装。”

而王友琴当年曾亲眼目睹了校长批斗会的前半个小时。她在撰写卞仲耘之死的过程中,也采访了其他证人。她在文章中描述,五个被斗者被乱棒横扫,棒子上有钉子,打在人身上,一打就在肉上戳出一个小洞,血随即从小洞里涌流出来。

过去三年,宋彬彬强烈反驳王友琴对她在“文革”期间的行为批评。

王友琴表示,她不曾说过是宋彬彬亲自动手打死校长,只是描述她在学生打老师这个过程当中,起到的作用。

王友琴说,在过了“8•18”之后,北京每天被打死的人数直线上升,一共打死了1772个人。她表示,这就是为什么她要指出“8•18”这个集会,在“红卫兵”暴力发展过程中的意义和作用。

而向校领导、师生“道歉”这件事,对王友琴来说,有点突然。因为过去三年,宋彬彬等人强烈攻击《文革受难者》这本书。但是,王友琴还是认为:道歉是好事。

王友琴:“这是一个进步。不管这个道歉是……现在也有很多人提出来,其实是替自己粉饰和找理由,这个道歉是非常勉强,这都没有关系,但是是一个道歉。这个道歉至少告诉我们,他们还是知道,他们做的事情是错的,是要道歉的。而这个事情呢,也非常令我们惊讶的,已经过去四十七年了,居然我们在这样一个大是大非面前,我们还要用这样激烈的争论来说明。”

王友琴说,在她调查的10个北京女子中学里,在1966年的8月,也就是“红卫兵”所说的“红八月”,有6人、13名校长,3名老师是被活活打死的。

王友琴:“这样子的残忍和野蛮血腥的往事,我们应该来厘清事实。第二,我们应该来反省这样的事情。然后我们才可以防止这样的事情再发生,是不是?”

去年10月,中共早期将领陈毅之子陈小鲁,公开向“文革”中被批斗的老师道歉,而引发外界对“文革”反思的争议。

Red Guards Apologize For Cultural Revolution

Women who graduated from Beijing Normal University
Girls High School between1966 and 1968 have spoken out.

In a meeting with their former teachers and
their families, the women apologized for
their actions during the Cultural Revolution.

In the book, “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
author Wang Youqin exposed many painful
memoirs of teachers killed by the students.

An alumni of the school, Wang Youqin urged Chinese
people to reflect on their history, and not to forget it.

Bian Zhongyun was Deputy Principle of
Beijing Normal University Girls High School.

On August 5, 1966, Bian was killed during a
Cultural Revolution campaign, for criticizing and
denouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Bian Zhongyun was the first teacher to be
murdered by the Red Guards in Beijing.

Wang Youqin, is a graduate of Beijing
Normal University Girls High School.

She became Director of the Chinese Language
Program, East Asian Languages and Civilizations
(EALC), at the University of Chicago.

In her research, “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
the biography of Bian Zhongyun was detailed.

Wang Youqin: “The Beijing Normal University
Girls High School’s teacher was the first to
be killed in Beijing, and the second in the nation.
A teacher had already been killed in Nanjing on August 3.
Then the massive Red Guards rally took place on August 18
in Tiananmen Square, which became known as 8-18 Rally."

During the Cultural Revolution, Song Binbin, a
daughter of an Admiral, was the Red Guards leader
at Beijing Normal University Girls High School.

According to “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
Song Binbin pinned a red armband on Mao Zedong
in Tiananmen Square on August 18, 1966.

Mao asked her name. After her reply,
Mao answered, “Yao Wu (to arm well)".

Two days later, on August 20, an article entitled,
“I put on a red armband for Chairman Mao", appeared in
Chinese Communist Party newspaper, Guangming Daily.

It was authored by “Song Yaowu".

Wang Youqin: “She had the conversation with Mao Zedong
in Tiananmen Square about the Yao Wu (to arm well).
Looking back at history, it is very clear that two
teachers in Beijing were killed prior to the 8-18 rally.
The teacher at Song Binbin’s school was one of them."

Song Binbin, a naturalized American, obtained a doctorate
in Geochemistry in the US, after the Cultural Revolution.
In the meeting on the January 12, Song Binbin
apologized to former teachers and students.
She said that she did not and could not stop others
from attacking Principal Bian and other school leaders.
Song herself feared being charged with
“opposing to fight the bourgeois elements".

Wang Youqin had witnessed the first half hour of
the session where Principal Bian was criticised.
After interviewing other witnesses, she described how
five victims were hit by wooden sticks with nails in.
Upon being hit, the nails would pierce holes in
the skin, and blood would gush out immediately.

Over the past three years, Song Binbin has
strongly refuted Wang Youqin’s criticism of
her behavior during the Cultural Revolution.

Wang Youqin explained that she never
said Song Binbin killed the principal.
She only described Song’s role in attacking the teachers.

Wang Youqin describes how the killing escalated in Beijing,
and a total of 1,772 people were killed after the 8-18 Rally.

That is the reason why she particularly pointed
out the meaning and role of the 8-18 Rally in
the development of the Red Guards violence.

Song Binbin’s apology to the school leaders and
students came as a surprise to Wang Youqin.
During the past three years, Song Binbin has strongly
attacked her research about victims of the Cultural Revolution.
However, Wang Youqin believes the apology is a good thing.

Wang Youqin: “This is an improvement.
Regardless of whether the apology is sincere
or, as many suspect, is only a whitewash,
it is nevertheless important that it’s an apology.
The apology indicates that they know their wrongs.
What is surprising is that, after 47 years, we still
need to engage in such heated debate to prove this."

Wang Youqin discusses her survey
of 10 girls high schools in Beijing.
In August 1966, which became known as Red August, there
were 6 people, 13 principals, and 3 teachers beaten to death.

Wang Youqin: “We need to clarify the facts
of this cruel, barbaric and bloody past.
We should also reflect on this past, to prevent
something like this from happening again.
Is it not already?"

Last October, former Red Guard Chen Xiaolu, the
son of General Chen Yi, made a public apology to
the teachers attacked during the Cultural Revolution.

Subsequently, the debate to remember and reflect
on the Cultural Revolution has gathered momentum.
