【新唐人2011年9月30日訊】毛澤東對知識份子歷來不抱好感，把他們比作「臭老九」。僅57年「反右運動」就禍及中國近三分之一的知識份子，緊接著，「橫掃一切牛鬼蛇神」的「無產階級文化大革命」，沒受衝擊的寥寥無幾。學者認為，毛敵視知識份子，與他在當年「北大」受鄙視有關，也與他帝王思想下不能容忍有思想的人有關。
毛澤東把秦始皇簡單消滅肉體的「坑儒」，變成全國規模的「群眾運動」，由群眾來檢舉、揭發、批判、鬥爭，造成人人自危的態勢。從1942年的延安「整風運動」到「文化大革命」，幾乎每年一次。
毛澤東為甚麼如此仇恨知識份子？
四川作家、右派維權代言人鐵流認為，毛澤東仇恨知識份子，與他「北大」經歷有關。鐵流表示，當初毛當圖書館管理員，一個月才8銀元，而胡適、李大釗等教授一個月400多塊銀元。有一次他抄圖書，因字跡太潦草受到批評，令他憤然離開北大。從此，他對知識份子結下了仇恨。
鐵流:「如果當時他也一個月拿一百多塊錢，他就不會上井岡山。如果當初他拿到400塊錢的話，他就一輩子教書了，一輩子當大學教授了，也許中國有另外一個局面了。歷史就是千差萬錯，結果從此結下了仇恨，所以他就憤然離開了北京大學圖書館。」
鐵流還從黨史專家李銳那裏了解到，毛澤東對自然科學非常反感，甚至仇恨科學。
鐵流：「57年反右一句話把他阻路了，羅隆基有句話：小知識份子跑來領導我們大知識份子。他聽了很氣。就這一句話，從而他仇視科學，仇視知識份子。他一生就是要整知識份子，非常霸道，非常霸氣。」
不過，著名經濟學家茅於軾認為，毛澤東鄙視知識份子，因為他認為他比任何知識份子高明。
茅於軾：「毛澤東對自然科學一竅不通，他不能完全理解現代科學對人類進步的作用，他認為他的想法超過任何人，甚至那些想法都沒有必要。對理科的知識份子，他認為只要發動群眾，世界上任何問題都能解決，用不著科學技術。」
歷史學家王來棣認為，毛澤東仇視知識份子，還來自他無產階級專政的帝王思想。他指出，接受過科學訓練和民主精神薰陶的知識份子，不願意盲目服從，並且追求民主自由，反對專制獨裁，他們繼承「天下興亡，匹夫有責」的傳統，關心國家命運，對國家大事好發議論，對政府領導人的行為評頭論足。毛澤東自然無法容忍這些不聽話的人。
翻譯家羅稷南曾向毛澤東提出一個大膽的問題，他說：要是魯迅今天還活著，他會怎麼樣?毛澤東回答：「魯迅──要嘛被關在牢裡繼續寫他的，要嘛一句話也不說。」
反右運動大獲全勝後的1958年，毛澤東更是得意忘形的號稱自己是「馬克思加秦始皇」，並自誇比秦始皇坑儒多一百倍！而且在坑儒的手法上他遠比秦始皇高超。
為此，鐵流認為，毛澤東把整個中華民族全埋葬了，把這個民族全毀了，而這個人要不批，不把他的影響徹底清除，中華民族就沒有前進的動力。

Mao』s “Stinking 9” Hatred
Mao Zedong hated intellectuals and called them 『Stinking 9』.
In 1957, 『anti-rightist movement』 harmed nearly 1/3 of them.
Later on, after 『sweeping all the spirit』 and the proletarian
Cultural Revolution, very few intellectuals were left unhurt.
Scholars believe that Mao』s hostility towad intellectuals
is related to his experience at Peking University,
as well as to his dictatorship, which does not allow
people to have own thinking and actions.
Emperor Qin was just killing intellectuals, but Mao
made of it a 『mass movement』 on a nationwide scale.
The reporting, exposing, criticizing, fighting, etc.,
resulted in people feeling insecure.
From Yan’an 『rectification movement』 in 『42 to the Cultural
Revolution, a mass movement happened almost every year.
Why did Mao hate intellectuals so much?
Tieliu, a Sichuan writer and a right wing activists』 spokesman,
believes that Mao』s hostility towards intellectuals,
is related to his experience at Peking University. Tieliu said,
when Mao was a librarian, he earned 8 silver dollars a month,
but professors like Hu Shi and Li Dazhao,
earned over 400 silver dollars a month.
When he copied books, he was criticized for scratchy writing,
so he angrily left university and since then hated intellectuals.
Tieliu: “If he earned over 100 silver dollars a month,
he would not go to Jinggangshan.
If he could earn 400 silver dollars a month,
he would have taught for a lifetime at Peking University.
Maybe China would』ve been in a different situation.
History is full of mistakes.
Mao started hating intellectuals,
as he left Peking University in anger.”
Tieliu also learned from the history expert Li Rui,
that Mao found natural sciences disgusting and hated science.
Tieliu: “In 1957, one sentence irritated him
during the anti-rightist movement then.
Lo Lung-chi said: 『A small intellectual came
to lead great intellectuals.』 Mao was angered by it.
He hated science and intellectuals ever since,
and persecuted intellectuals all his life.
Mao was very overbearing and very domineering."
A renowned economist Mao Yushi believes, Mao despised
intellectuals because he felt wiser than them.
Mao Yushi: “Mao knew nothing about science, and couldn』t
understand the role of modern science in human progress.
He thought his ideas were the best,
others ideas are unnecessary.
He thought as long as you could mobilize the masses,
every problem can be solved,
and there was no need of science and technology."
Historian Wang Laodi believes that Mao hated intellectuals,
also because of his dictatorship of the proletariat.
He pointed out, intellectuals with scientific training
would not obey aimlessly. They would pursue democracy
and freedom, and go against dictatorship. They』d follow
the tradition ‘Everyone is responsible for the nations』 safety』,
concerned for the fate of the country. They like to comment
on important issues and can be critical of the politicians.
Mao Zedong perceived this as a disobedience
and did not tolerate such type of people.
Translator Luo Jinan once asked Mao a bold question,
“If Lu Xun was alive today, what will happen to him?”
Mao replied: “Lu Xun would either be in prison
and continue to write, or be silent."
After the 『victory』 of the anti-rightist campaign in 1958,
Mao Zedong called himself “mix of Marx and Emperor Qin,"
and boasted to kill a hundred times more intellectuals
than Emperor Qin.
His methods of killing intellectuals
exceeded those of Emperor Qin too.
Tieliu believes, Mao buried the Chinese Han ethnic group,
and this ethnic group was completely destroyed.
If we do not criticize Mao and eliminate his influence,
the Chinese cannot move forward, is the expert』 prediction.
