柏杨走了

《丑陋的中国人》作者柏杨最近逝世。

我是华校生,自小被中华文化洗脑。中学时阅读柏杨的书,当时在想:“太夸张了!中国人不丑陋,柏杨才丑陋。”

大学时我接触了佛教,然后又在美国住了一年。随着视野增广,想法也慢慢改变。我开始觉得:柏杨‘唱衰’中国人,并非没有道理。

柏杨逝世,许多大马知名人士,包括董教总的沈慕羽,都表惋惜,这令我感到惊讶。近年来中国崛起,大马华裔都以身为华人感到自豪,大家都认为中国的五千年文化是最优越的。像沈慕羽这一类保守派人物,又怎会欣赏柏杨的作品呢?

    Of course you don't know. Nobody in your school likes to talk about 丑陋的中国人.

    It is true that all races have their ugly side. But Chinese - including Chinese Malaysians - are particularly proud of their 5000 years culture.

  3. 柏杨“唱衰”中国人是吧有点像敦马“唱衰”马来人,用心良苦啊~
    中国五千年流传下来的文化当中无可否认有优秀的地方,连马来人在国会里都会引用孙子兵法。只是崛起得快,大家都着重于工业科技的发展,却忘了中华文化里的道德。

    是英雄重英雄嘛,就不知沈老欣不欣赏李敖的作品咧?呵呵~

    I don't doubt there are strong points in Chinese culture. The problem is: before Qin Dynasty, it was 百家争鸣. Even in Tang Dynasty, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism 三强鼎立. Unfortunately, since Song Dynasty it has been 独尊孔家.
