- It is precisely because history should be viewed in its totality, not in isolation, that one needs to focus on not just what a historical figure believed and stated, but what he actually did. Fang was not a preaching communist theorist or someone who pretended to have a solution for all the problems plaguing China during his lifetime (although he certainly painstakingly described some of them). Instead, he was one who put aside his own personal interests and died for the people and country he loved.
hmmm.....你的观点似乎又简单, 又费解. 看看我的理解和判断对不对? 如果理解错, 请指出.
简单之处: 你把方的信仰主义之类的看成一个包袱, 想甩掉它. 这就是为什么你强调要看方做的, 不只是看他信的和说的. 这就是为什么你上一贴说历史不会记住方是一个共产党员... 似乎你只想取(cherry picking) 方的英雄主义, 然后再拔高他的爱国主义. 一句话: 英雄+ 爱国.
费解之处: 这种做法已经做了几十年来了, 完全是失败的. 只不过那时是: 英雄+ 爱党. 结果是既毁了本来不错的真实的原型, 也愚弄了百姓. 我们不是不知道这些教训, 为什么还要这样做呢?
I take it that you have abandoned your initial doubts that his writings will be remembered by history.
没有. 我在谈历史观和到目前为止的历史记载. 我当然还是认为此篇不是千古不朽的. 目前的讨论没有改变我这一看法.
