Can you see the fate of China in the fate of one book？

 9402  Can you see the fate of China in the fate of one book  2022 1101 

The book is “Dream of the Red Chamber”. It has been locked up since the early days before the liberation of China and the lock is still there and now, double locked. 

All publications of the book were under the spell of a United States agent whose name is Hu Shi(胡適). He had said that the first 80 chapters of the book is the story of a rich man and his rich family, and it bears no internal meaning in the book. As for the other 40 remaining chapters, he said it was the work of a publication merchant. And the intention of the make-up chapters was for selling purpose only.   There has been a heated debate for this. One major opponent was Pan Zhong Gui (潘重規). He was my teacher. 

However, all debates had been useless, because Hu Shi was offered many Honorary Doctor Degrees suddenly at the same time. He was raised up to the Heaven and there seemed all argues were subsided. All publication of the book carried the author names as decided by Hu Shi. And the real intention of the book and its meaning cannot be found and people seemed to have no interest about that book since. 

It is strange enough for simple minds. Why were the 35 Western Universities offered Honorary Degrees to Hu Shi suddenly? One could not have avoided the thought that the 35 Western Universities must had received the same order to do that. It could not have been a coincidence. It is a plan. 

The question is how. 

How can the United States do that. 

And the question is the extend. How strong were their arms to reach to the Universities and what was the internal function to do such a job?  

And the outcome is more than the lost of one book in China. It harms the spirit of the Chinese. 

The book is locked up by the United States, and it is double locked. 

The second lock was from the Chinese Government. It seemed they had decided to keep the situation as it is. And the book was covered with dust in the libraries. The fake names of authors were the same and never changed. Though the book has the same position as War and Peace in Russia, Les Miserables in France, Shakespeare in United Kingdom, and Don Quixote in Spain; however, it is a pity that the fate of the book in China is not the same. Chinese people cannot understand the inner meaning of the book from the dust.   

People could only guess that why and how could the Chinese Government had such determination? Was it from the leadership or, was it from the secret agents working in and outside the Government? 

It must be the most serious threat against the Chinese. The agents were not only a few people but a complete network. If any links of the network was broken, they could use other channels to make up. One link is broken and it could be mended easily. It is an open secret in Hong Kong. People just understand the situation and many are having their own fate linked up with the network. 

It could explain why the low taste interest in the internet are so strong. People in Hong Kong can easily see the internal minds of young people during the November 1st festival of foreign ghosts. It is same in Hong Kong and Korea where ignorant  people dress up in costumes have nowhere to go to except wine bars and places of drugs. It is a mind-lost for the young generation. And Hong Kong is busy copying all the things including the low culture and rock music from Korea. It must be the same order received like the 35 Western Universities. 

What could the fate of China be in the future if all young people are rotten?

 胡適有甚麼學問？

                           2010. 11.29

　

　　嚴格講，胡適是沒有學問的。任何一個嚴肅的學者，倘若拿出胡適的全部著作來看，就能看見，胡適對於中國文化，一點貢獻都沒有。

　

　　五四時期的知識份子提倡文學革命。要打倒傳統文化，要廢除古文，等等。當時的胡適，是運動的前鋒人物。他是第一批提倡用白話文寫作的人。其實，白話文並不是新事。《紅樓夢》就是白話文寫的。比較新鮮是「白話詩」。胡適的白話詩作品，大約今日的人已經完全忘記。因為，胡適的「詩」裡，沒有美的吸引力。

　　但是，胡適卻可能是擁有最多學位的人。他擁有的博士學位，共有三十五個。全世界共有三十五家大學，不約而同，爭著頒送博士學位給他。今時今日，誰能擁有更多的博士名銜？相信沒有人。

　　　　

　　到底胡適的吸引力何在？為何世界上的這些大學，如此重視他？

　

　　值得研究的，不是胡適本人的學問。而是這一批知識份子，如此力捧胡適，背後的意義何在？

　

　　胡適本人的學問，其實只有四個字。他主張的是：「全盤西化」。這是跟今日的某些人很相似的。今日的某些人，雖然不再提「全盤西化」這四字，但在提到政治問題的時候，總是希望照抄美國全部的政治結構。完全不用觸及西方文化的基本問題，更無視工業革命以來，西方的重大偏向。對於西方文化造成的貧窮問題，污染問題，能源問題，全不研究，全不探討。對於從西方來的享樂主義，反智主義，物質主義，一點都不觸及。

        如果你還要提及甚麼甚麼的「愛」和「博愛」，他會教訓你，要提倡多些　sustainable value。如果你對他講，西方文化是外在的，而外在傾向不可能解決文化的衝突。他也不會口啞無言。因為，他以為，這就是「務實」。而且，好像胡適所講：「多談些問題，少提些主義。」大約是，照抄了西方的全部政治架構，問題就不存在了。

　

　　而這仍是不重要的。胡適自己的甚麼主張，是全不重要的，是不值得研究的。

　

　　重要的是：力捧他的那三十五間大學，到底是無聊的學者們在「跟風」呢，還是有人在背後扯線，有計劃地把中國文化推向某一方向？這才是值得研究的。

　

　　希望這種想法是錯的。是絕對不可能有人在背後扯線的。因為，如果真是有人在扯線的話，就意味著，最近差不多一百年來的西方學術界，以美國為首的西方學術界，是不自由的。

　　

　　而這是有心人不能不注視的。因為，如果你說，極權國家是不自由的，大約很多人同意。如果你說，自由國家也是不自由的。那就是問題很嚴重了。地球是不自由的地球，那麼，各種重大問題，如何解決？
