【禁聞】陳子明追悼會 警方如臨大敵

2014年10月27日六四事件
【新唐人2014年10月27日訊】曾被中共當局稱為六四「幕後黑手」的著名異議人士陳子明,10月21日在北京過世。他的追悼會 25號在北京昌平殯儀館舉行。包括參加過「四五運動」、八九六四在內的近三百名自由作家、學者前往送行。與此同時,當局出動了一百多名警力在通往殯儀館途中設卡,逐一登記出席者身份。還有一些人被控制在家中,禁止參加追悼會。請看詳細報導。

62歲的陳子明因胰腺癌,於10月21號在北京去世。他投身中國民運幾十年,曾參與過76年的「四五運動」,79年的西單民主牆運動和八九年的六四學運,但卻被當局指為六四的「幕後黑手」,並判刑13年。

25號,一批北京自由知識界的著名人士,如章立凡、張千帆、孫立平、榮劍、施濱海、徐友漁等近三百人,參加了陳子明的告別儀式。陳子明的好友、北京大學社會學系教授鄭也夫代表社會各界在悼詞中,高度評價陳子明為中國民主、憲政所作的貢獻。

另外,中共前總書記趙紫陽的政治祕書鮑彤、六四學生領袖馬少方等人也獻了花圈。

參加追悼會的人士表示,警方如臨大敵:「上午七點以後,所有進入殯儀館的車都被攔下,逐一盤問參加誰的追悼會。殯儀館裡裡外外,著裝或不著裝的便衣警察,據說有百人,接近殯儀館的各個路口,都有警車」。

陳子明好友、異議人士何德普:「我想去呢,花圈都買了。花圈買了以後,然後一下樓就被警察給攔住了,沒去成。」

陳子明的好友、異議人士何德普表示,他與北京市國保交涉了很長時間都不行,就是不讓他去參加,也不給理由。

著名異議人士胡佳:「昨天我去跟當局交涉也罷、爭取也罷,他們說肯定不行,全北京控制了不是你一個人,但是你肯定是被重點的、需要被控制的。我們接到的命令,今天絕對不讓你出現在陳子明遺體告別的現場。」

著名異議人士胡佳認為,中共把陳子明的追悼會當作了一個敏感的維穩事件,為了防止把悼念會變成對當局的譴責控訴,所以要嚴格封閉。

據胡佳所知,包括異議作家莫之許、獨立筆會祕書長野度等都被控制,無法到悼念會現場。

中共前總書記趙紫陽的祕書鮑彤也被當局警告,不準出席追悼會。對此,他對《自由亞洲電臺》表達了憤怒。他說,「哪裡有根據法律不讓人出席朋友的追悼會的,由此可見依法治國是甚麼內容。」

其實,陳子明的告別會在北京郊外的昌平,交通非常不便,但是仍然有近三百人參加。

何德普:「陳子明先生這個人很謙和,人際關係也非常好,對人平和。跟他來往確實感到非常親近。所以他是方方面面的人都接觸,都交朋友,所以去的人比較多一些。」

前民運人士、現任維也納大學教授的經濟學者朱嘉明,在紀念陳子明的文章中寫道,「在我們這代人中,自幼所受教育都與階級鬥爭有關」,於是,讓心蒙塵,心地不再善良,遠離常識,偏見固化。但陳子明顯然早已摒棄了階級觀念、鬥爭哲學和群眾運動。他所覺悟的就是人道主義,人本主義,並用這些來理解民主。他一生因良知而博愛,因博愛而推崇民主,因民主而歷經磨難。

朱嘉明指出,陳子明創辦《歷史的沉思》,《走向未來》叢書等等,是讓人本主義回歸中國,那是良心的呼喚。因為自「五四」運動以來,中國與世界在現代化進程中的差距,與其說是科學技術和經濟的落後,不如說是人文精神的落後所致。因此,朱嘉明認為,陳子明是這個歷史過程的先行者,也是最早覺悟者。

胡佳也表示,陳子明一生跌宕起伏,為了改變中國,他做了各種各樣的探索。他人雖然走了,但留下了很多著作,後人仍然可以從他留下的文字中尋找思想火花。

Police Extremely Nervous about Chen Ziming’s Funeral

Chen Ziming was a well-know activist and was regarded as
the “backstage manipulator” of “June 4 Movement”
by the communist party.

Chen’s funeral was at Changping, Beijing on Oct 25.
About 300 free-lance writers and scholars attended Chen’s funeral.
Meanwhile, hundreds of police set up checkpoints
on all the ways to the funeral home and
registered the identity of each attendee.

Some people were blocked at their homes and
forbidden from attending the funeral.
What has made the authorities so nervous about the funeral?
Please read the report.

On Oct 21, Chen Ziming, 62 years old, passed away from
pancreatic cancer in Beijing.
Chen had been dedicated to democracy movements for years.
He participated in “Four Five Movement” in 1976,
“Xidan Democracy Wall Movement” in 1979
and “June 4 Movement” in 1989.
Regarded as the “backstage manipulator” of “June 4 Movement”
he was sentenced to 13 years of in prison.

On Oct 25, a lot of well-known advocates of freedom
attended Chen’s funeral.
Among them were Zhang Lifan, Zhang Qianfan, Sun Liping,
Rong Jian, Shi Binhai and Xu Youyu.
Zheng Yefu, Social Science Professor from Beijing University,
spoke at the funeral and sang high praise for Chen Ziming’s
contribution to China’s democracy and constitutionalism.

In addition, Bao Tong, political sectary of Zhao Ziyang, and
Ma Shaofang, student leader of “June 4” also laid wreaths.

Attendees of the funeral said that the policemen were
extremely nervous about it, “After 7am, the police stopped
every car driving into the funeral home and asked
which funeral they were attending. There were hundreds of police
and disguised police inside and outside the funeral home.

There were police cars at each entrance to the funeral home too. ”

He Depu, friend of Chen Ziming, “I was planning to go
and I already bought a wreath. However, as I walked down stairs,
I was blocked by the police.”

He Depu said that he negotiated with Beijing security police
for a long time but they still didn’t allow him to attend the funeral
without offering any reason.

Hu Jia, well-known activist, “Yesterday I talked to the authorities
too, but they said no. They told me I was not the only one
that’s under control, but I was one of the focuses.

They received orders that Hu Jia absolutely can’t show up
at Chen Ziming’s funeral. ”

Hu Jia said that the party treated Chen Ziming’s funeral
as a sensitive event in stability maintenance, because
they are afraid that the funeral might turn into
a meeting of condemnation to the party.

As far as Hu Jia learned, Mo Zhixu, an activist writer, and Ye Du,
Secretary of Independent PEN Centre, were both controlled and
couldn’t make it to the funeral.

Bao Tong was also warned by the authorities
that he was not allowed to attend the funeral.
Regarding this, Bao expressed his anger to FRA (Radio Free Asia).

He said: “Is there such a law that forbids
people from attending their friend’s funeral?
This is so called ‘governing the country according to the law’.”

Actually, Chen Ziming’s funeral was at Chang Ping,
suburb of Beijing.
The transportation to there is very inconvenient
but about three hundred people still made it at the funeral.

He Depu: “Mr. Chen is very modest and gentle.
He had very good relationship with people.
He’s very gentle to people.

People who worked with him think he’s really kind.
He made friends with people from all walks of life.
Therefore, there were so many people at his funeral. ”

Zhu Jiaming, former democracy activist
and current Professor of Economics from University of Vienna,
wrote an article to commemorate Chen Ziming.
In his article, he said: “In our generation,
all the education we received since we were young
was related to ‘wars among different social classes’.
Therefore, our heart starts accumulating dust,
we stops being good-hearted and move away
from common senses and become more and more biased.
Nonetheless, Chen Ziming discarded the notion of social classes,
philosophy of struggles and mass movement.
What he enlightened to were humanitarianism and humanism.
That’s how he understood democracy.
His universal love originated from his conscience.
Because of his universal love, he promoted democracy.
Because of the democracy he promoted, he suffered.”

Zhu Jiaming stated that the series of books
that Chen Ziming worked on, like “Deep Thoughts in the History”
and “Walk to the Future”,
are all trying to bring humanism back to China.
That’s a call from his conscience,
because what China has fallen behind the world in modernization,
technology and economy all originates from its falling
behind in humanism since “May 4 Movement”.
Therefore, Zhu Jiaming said that Chen Ziming
was the earliest enlightened and the earliest forerunner.

Hu Jia also said that Chen’s whole life was full of ups and downs.
In order to make a change to China, he explored a variety of possibilities.
Even if he passed away, he left a lot of works behind.
Later generations still can get inspired by his words.
