之一：国共内战。
八年抗战，不是中国的耻辱而是光荣。但是此后的国共内战，则是一场彻头彻尾的国耻。当打败共同的敌人后，即便在国际社会的帮助下，我们竟然没有智慧和诚意找到一个和平建国的可行办法。淮海大陆，140万中国儿女在自己的土地上自相残杀！当一个中国农民的孩子把刺刀恶狠狠地捅进另外一个中国农民的孩子胸膛的时候，无论是毛还是蒋，都注定被钉在历史的耻辱柱上。几年前，《大决战》上映，面对这种手足相残，电影院里一片欢呼，这欢呼，是这种耻辱的更耻辱的注解。
之二：北韩冤魂。
无论那场战争，胜也罢，败也罢。一个不争的事实是：我们把半个韩国的人民圈于一个人类最残暴的政权下60年！是我们使他们在暗无天日的人间地狱中受尽煎熬！历史不会原谅我们的！感谢美国吧，使我们的罪孽减少了一半。
之三：反右。
摆出谦虚的态度，希望大家多提意见。实际却是“引蛇出洞”，好一网打尽。世界上，除了纳粹德国对犹太人的欺骗，有比这更无耻的事情吗？
之四：三年饥荒。
这场饥荒的耻辱是如此的强烈，以至于其始作俑者都要以“自然灾害”来掩饰——这其实使耻辱更加强烈。在饥荒的时候，我们在大批出口粮食；在饥荒的时候，我们拿出了比苏联债务更多的钱去援助第三世界；在饥荒的时候，凤阳书记感喟：多好的劳苦人民啊，宁可饿死也不抢国家粮食…这话反过来就是：多奸的政府啊，看着老百姓饿死也不打开仓救济。
之五：十年文革。
那是一场活动，也是一场耻辱。一个民族做了这样的事情，就根本没有资格再自吹自擂。提起日本侵略者，中国人会把一堆的贬义词奉上。可是，日本人最起码没有这样对待日本人吧？什么样的民族会把自己的国家精英关进牛棚？什么样的民族会把自己的社会脊梁摧残殆尽？什么样的民族会鼓吹“知识越多越反动”？答案已经有了：中国人！
之六：篡改历史。
中国其实是最没有资格指责日本篡改历史的。中国的历史教科书，把对中国有天高地厚之恩，存亡续绝之义的盟友描绘成野心狼。中国的历史教科书，闭口不提为国血战捐躯的国军将士的赫赫功勋。中国的历史教科书，把在东北犯下滔天大罪的苏联当成恩人。中国的教科书，竟然指责美国扔下原子弹。
之七：中国农民。
在奴隶时代，人生下来就被区分为贵族和奴隶。在中国，人生下来就被区分为农村户口和城市户口。如果你不幸成为前者，那么你生而低人一等，无法享受和后者一样的公民权。无法享受和后者一样的医疗、教育、社会保障。生为农民，你将承担城市人三倍的赋税，将无法自由迁移，无法和城市人享受同样的工作待遇，你甚至不拥有世代耕种的土地，因为那是国家的。这样的制度，这样一个现代的农奴制度，存在了近60年。在21世纪，依然存在。一个民族的奇耻大辱。
之八：一九八九。
我无意讨论这件事情的是是非非，那太危险（这种危险本身也是一种国耻），我只想问一句：难道我们——不仅是政府，还包括这个国家所有的人，都没有能力和智慧和平解决这件事情，而必须用这样一种惨烈的方式吗？当一个民族只会用枪杆子，而不用正义和真理的力量去解决问题的时候，难道不是一种耻辱吗？
之九：克拉玛依大火，九江决口，SARS，矿难。
这似乎不是一件，但从更深一点的层次，它们的性质完全是相同的。他反映了一个自诩为人民代言人，自诩为人民利益代表的政权，堕落到了何等的地步。
克拉玛依的那句：让领导先走，已经彻底撕毁了一个执政党当年成立时赤裸裸的信念。九江决口后的庆祝晚会里那群众鱼贯呼万岁的镜头，让世界为之呕吐。SARS从星星之火累及世界，是中国对世界人民犯下的罪行。至于最后一项，我们经历了太多的苦难，以至于很多人已经习惯性的麻木了。
之十：审查，屏蔽。
21世纪，一个宪法保障人民公民权的国家，一个宪法保障人民言论自由的国家。竟然不允许自己的公民在网络这个虚拟的世界自由表达自己的观点。一个帖子竟然仅仅因为含有敏感词而被屏蔽，一个有完全行为能力和思考能力公民的观点竟然需要被审查！中国的公民是什么？是昏智还是幼童？需要别人来“导向”，来代替我们思考！真是极烂极冥的，如果有人惧怕真相，那么我高度怀疑：他其实知道自己蛮横的，并不是真理。

Top Ten National Shames of China Over the Past 60 Years
Abstract: This article enumerates issues including the Chinese Civil War, the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Great Famine, the Cultural Revolution, history education, the household registration (hukou) system, the 1989 incident, and speech censorship, criticizing the problems and lessons within modern Chinese history and its social system.
Number One: The Chinese Civil War.
The Eight-Year War of Resistance Against Japan was not a shame for China, but a glory. However, the Chinese Civil War that followed was an absolute and thorough national shame. After defeating our common enemy, even with the assistance of the international community, we unexpectedly lacked the wisdom and sincerity to find a feasible way to build a peaceful nation. Across the Huaihai plains, 1.4 million sons and daughters of China slaughtered one another on their own land! When the child of one Chinese peasant viciously plunged a bayonet into the chest of another Chinese peasant’s child, both Mao and Chiang were destined to be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. A few years ago, when the movie The Decisive Engagement was released, the cinemas erupted into cheers in the face of this fratricide. These cheers serve as an even more shameful footnote to this disgrace.
Number Two: The Lost Souls of North Korea.
Regardless of whether that war was won or lost, an indisputable fact remains: we penned the people of half of the Korean Peninsula under one of the most brutal regimes in human history for 60 years! It is we who caused them to suffer endlessly in a dark, hell on earth! History will not forgive us! Thank the United States, for they halved our sins.
Number Three: The Anti-Rightist Movement.
Adopting a humble posture, we expressed hope that everyone would offer more input. The reality, however, was “luring the snake out of its hole” so as to wipe them all out in one dragnet. In this world, other than Nazi Germany’s deception of the Jewish people, is there anything more shameless than this?
Number Four: The Three Years of Famine.
The shame of this famine is so intense that its perpetrators had to cover it up as “natural disasters”—which, in fact, makes the shame even more intense. During the famine, we were exporting grain in large quantities; during the famine, we gave more money to aid the Third World than the total amount of our debt to the Soviet Union; during the famine, the Party Secretary of Fengyang lamented with deep emotion: “What wonderful working people, they would rather starve to death than rob state grain…” Turned around, these words mean: “What a treacherous government, watching the common people starve to death yet refusing to open the granaries to provide relief.”
Number Five: The Ten Years of the Cultural Revolution.
That was a movement, and it was also a shame. Once a nation has done such a thing, it is utterly unqualified to brag about itself ever again. When mentioning the Japanese invaders, Chinese people will bestow a pile of derogatory terms upon them. However, at the very least, the Japanese did not treat other Japanese that way, did they? What kind of nation locks its own national elite into cowsheds? What kind of nation utterly destroys its own social backbone? What kind of nation propagates that “the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are”? The answer is already there: the Chinese people!
Number Six: Falsifying History.
China is actually the least qualified to accuse Japan of falsifying history. China’s history textbooks depict an ally, to whom China owes gratitude as high as the sky and as deep as the earth for saving it from extinction, as an ambitious wolf. China’s history textbooks remain completely silent about the glorious achievements of the National Revolutionary Army (Nationalist) generals and soldiers who fought bloody battles and sacrificed their lives for the country. China’s history textbooks treat the Soviet Union, which committed monstrous crimes in Northeast China, as a benefactor. China’s textbooks even go so far as to condemn the United States for dropping the atomic bombs.
Number Seven: The Chinese Peasants.
In the era of slavery, people were differentiated into aristocrats and slaves from birth. In China, people are differentiated into rural household registration (hukou) and urban household registration from birth. If you unfortunately become the former, then you are born inferior, unable to enjoy the same civil rights as the latter. You are unable to enjoy the same medical care, education, and social security as the latter. Born as a peasant, you will bear three times the tax burden of urbanites, you will be unable to migrate freely, you will be unable to enjoy the same employment treatment as urbanites, and you do not even own the land you cultivate generation after generation, because it belongs to the state. Such a system, such a modern serfdom system, has existed for nearly 60 years. In the 21st century, it still exists. A monstrous shame and deep humiliation for a nation.
Number Eight: Nineteen Eighty-Nine.
I have no intention of discussing the rights and wrongs of this event; that is too dangerous (and this danger itself is also a form of national shame). I only want to ask one question: Is it possible that we—not only the government, but also all the people of this country—lacked the ability and wisdom to resolve this matter peacefully, making it necessary to resort to such a tragic and violent method? When a nation only knows how to use the barrels of guns, rather than the power of justice and truth to resolve problems, is that not a shame?
Number Nine: The Karamay Fire, the Jiujiang Dike Breach, SARS, and Mine Disasters.
These do not seem to be a single event, but from a slightly deeper level, their nature is completely identical. They reflect the extent to which a regime, which flaunts itself as the spokesperson for the people and the representative of the people’s interests, has degenerated.
That phrase from Karamay, “Let the leaders leave first,” has thoroughly torn to shreds the naked conviction upon which the ruling party was originally founded. The scene during the celebratory gala after the Jiujiang dike breach, where the masses filed past shouting “long live,” made the world vomit. SARS spreading from a single spark to afflict the whole world was a crime committed by China against the people of the world. As for the last item, we have experienced so much suffering that many people have already become habitually numb.
Number Ten: Censorship and Blocking.
In the 21st century, a country whose constitution guarantees its people’s civil rights, a country whose constitution guarantees its people’s freedom of speech, unexpectedly does not allow its own citizens to freely express their viewpoints in the virtual world of the internet. A post can actually be blocked simply because it contains sensitive words, and the viewpoint of a citizen with full capacity for civil conduct and independent thought actually needs to be censored! What are the citizens of China? Are they dim-witted or young children? Needing others to “guide” them and think on our behalf! It is truly utterly rotten and thoroughly dark. If someone fears the truth, then I highly suspect that he actually knows he is being overbearing, and that he does not possess the truth.
