【新唐人2012年9月4日訊】中國大陸一批親歷毛澤東政治運動的歷史老人，日前聯名上書中共十八大，要求徹底清算「文革」元兇——毛澤東的滔天罪行，引發各界很大反響與支持。但他們同時也受到了一些狂熱毛派分子赤裸裸的恐嚇與威脅。下面請看本臺記者的報導。
成都20多位老知識份子和歷史老人聯名上書十八大的這份公開信，是由作家鐵流和廖赤明起草的。他們也因此成為了毛派分子的主要攻擊對像。
公開信起草人、大陸作家鐵流：「你看罵我們的話，發給我們的（短信），多血腥啊！要上門殺我全家。罵我們是漢奸，開口就老東西、老雜種、老不死，就是罵的。一天幾十個電話、上百個電話威脅我。」
老人們介紹，9月1號晚9點到夜間1點鐘，毛派分子有組織的輪番多次咒罵老人，併進行生命威脅。
9月2號，老人們在忍無可忍之下，將毛左們的恐嚇言行和電話號碼在網上公開曝光，並正告這些毛派人士，他們已經觸犯法律。老人們指出，如果公開信有違背事實的地方，毛派們可以寫文章反駁，為甚麼非要採用「文革」似的血腥暴力語言進行威脅呢？
老人們強調：他們不會退縮，更不會改變觀點。毛澤東是「文革」的元兇，「浩劫」的首惡，必須清算他反人類的罪行。
歷史老人羅開文：「我既然簽了字，我就應該堅持。我不怕甚麼人恐嚇我，我已經做了最壞的打算——被他們殺掉。他們殺吧，讓全世界來看，讓全世界來評論。我覺得把我殺死，殺我全家，殺全國人民，也把真理扳不過來，真理在我們這邊。」
老人們再次用事實歷數毛澤東發動「文革」的罪惡。老人們指出，這場所謂的「無產階級文化大革命」摧毀了中華民族五千年優秀傳統文化，禍根只在於毛澤東想要推卸三年大饑荒餓死數千萬人的罪責，維護個人的絕對權威。
文革期間，毛澤東鼓動「紅衛兵」打砸搶、抄家，大搞「武鬥」，致使神州大地一片血腥。
從1966年6月至1974年11月，被毛澤東迫害至死、自殺的領導人有120人，各界精英達12,000多人。文革中，全國有1億人被批鬥，2000萬人死於非命。
另一方面，文革對歷史文物、傳統文化的損毀和批判，也到了極點。1958年北京市有6843處古蹟，文革中有4,922處遭到破壞。
鐵流對《新唐人》表示，文革過去了幾十年，但毛澤東仍然陰魂不散，導致今天很多社會問題無法解決。他認為，薄熙來打著毛澤東的旗號想要篡權，再搞一次文革。中共高層應該抓住薄熙來垮臺這一機會，徹底清算毛澤東的罪行，甩掉這一歷史包袱。
鐵流：「但是至今中共不敢說毛澤東是文革元兇，不敢說他是『浩劫』的禍首。中共至今不清算毛澤東的罪惡，造成今天動盪不安的局面。現在任何一個人起來舉個毛澤東旗號，他們就不敢吭聲。」
鐵流強調，目前「倒毛」、徹底清算毛澤東的罪行是中國社會的一個根本問題，海內外的華人都應為此而努力。只有這個問題解決了，中國才有機會實現自由與民主。

Tie liu Receives Threats Submitting a Letter, Asking to Liquidate
the Memory of Mao.
A group of historical elders who witnessed Mao Zedong’s
political movement in mainland China,
recently submitted a joint letter to the Chinese Communist
Party’s (CCP) 18th National Congress,
appealing to purge the culprit of the “Cultural Revolution" —
heinous crimes of Mao Zedong, which sparked a great response and support.
Yet due to this request, they were faced with intimidation and
threats from fanatical Maoist supporters.
This joint open letter, submitted to the 18th National Congress,
was written by over 20 senior intellectuals,
elderly historians from the City of Chengdu.
Making them an easy target for the Maoists.
Drafter of the open letter Tie Liu: “So you see, such hateful
words were used against us.
Through letters they say they want to come & kill our families.
They also say we are traitors.
All the while swearing and cursing, ten times, one hundred
times, everyday they verbally attack and threaten us.”
The elders told NTD how, on the night of September 1st,
from 9.00 to 1 o’clock Maoists repeatedly cursed them.
There were even threats to their lives.
On September 2, under intolerable intimidation,
The elders exposed the Maoists “threatening words” as well as their phone numbers.
the elders pointed out that,
if there is something contrarily to the facts in their open letter,
the Maoists can write articles refuting as such.
Why would they resort to threatening abuse? Using
“Cultural Revolution" bloody violence type language?
The elders stressed they will not back down
nor change their views.
Mao Zedong was the culprit of the “Cultural Revolution",
the culprit to the horrific catastrophe and should be
liquidated from the history of China and its people.
Historical elder Luo Kaiwen: ‘‘ Since I signed it, I should
adhere to it. I am not afraid how the Maoists threatened us.
I have prepared for the worst – death if needs be.
If I am to die at their hand, the world will see it all.
They can kill me; kill my family;
kill the people across the country, but they can’t change the
truth, the truth on our side.’‘
The Elders have enumerated the evils of Mao Zedong
launching the “Cultural Revolution" with the facts.
The Elders pointed out, this so-called “Great Proletarian
Cultural Revolution" destroyed the 5,000-years of Traditional Chinese Culture.
Mao wanted to shirk responsibility, the guilt of 3 years of
famine when 1000’s of people starved to death,
maintains his absolute power over the nation of China.
During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong instigated
the vandalism of the Red Guards,
confiscation of goods, engaging in resorting to violence,
and blood and mayhem across china.
From June 1966 to November 1974, 120 Chinese leaders and
more than twelve thousand elites were persecuted to death, most of them driven to suicide.
During the Cultural Revolution, 100 million were denounced.
All evidence shows, the historical heritage & traditional legacy
of ancient China, were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
With 6843 monuments in Beijing in 1958,
4922 were brought down to the ground.
This is the heinous history of the Cultural Revolution!
Tie Liu told NTD, the Cultural Revolution ended decades ago,
yet Mao Zedong’s ghost still lingers.
leading to unsolved social disorder across the land of China.
He also believes Bo Xilai wants to engage in a Cultural
Revolution style coup to usurp power under the banner of Mao Zedong.
CCP leadership should seize this opportunity of Bo Xilai’s
event to purge the crimes of Mao Zedong,
and to once and for all remove this historical burden.
Tie Liu: “So far CCP would not dare say Mao Zedong
is culprit of the Cultural Revolution.
Nor would they say he is the culprit of the catastrophe.
The Communist leaders have not liquidated Mao’s crimes
against humanity.
Which today is responsible for China’s volatile situation.
Anyone who still holds the banner of Mao Zedong,
will not dare say anything in opposition.”
Tie liu stresses, the fundamental problems
the Chinese community face today are,
if the people completely liquidate Mao’s crimes,
are no longer supportive of him,
with Chinese both home & abroad, really need to
work hard to achieve the success of this liquidation.
Only when this issue is resolved, will the Chinese people
have a chance to achieve freedom and democracy.
