【新唐人2011年10月3日讯】在“十一”国殇日之际，《南方都市报》刊载了从大跃进到大饥荒的长篇纪实报导，记录了那场饿死几千万人、甚至出现人吃人的惨绝人寰的灾难。香港大学历史系教授冯客刚出版的专著，对大饥荒死亡人数的研究结论是4500万。而中共却一直掩盖它的罪恶和历史真相。
冯客教授(Frank Dikotter)的新作《毛泽东的大饥荒–1958-1962年的中国浩劫史》中文版，9月29号由香港新世纪出版社发行。他指出，这场灾难的真正规模一直鲜为人知。
1958年到1962年期间，毛泽东发动了全国“大跃进”运动，树立“三面红旗”，大炼钢铁“超英赶美”，鼓吹“人有多大胆，地有多大产”，大刮共产风，带来了空前的经济、政治和社会灾难。
今年初出版的《中共党史》第二卷中称，根据国家统计局的数据，三年“自然灾害”死亡人口是1000多万。
知名中国经济学家、北京天则经济研究所理事长茅于轼表示，他做过这方面研究，非常怀疑这个1000万的数据。
茅于轼(北京天则经济研究所理事长)：“共产党的历史里说是人口减少1000万，说饿死了1000万人，这个说法非常幼稚。三年里还出生了很多人，出生的人那么多，还减了1000万，那死了就不是1000万了，这个道理很清楚嘛。”
《炎黄春秋》杂志副社长杨继绳在《墓碑：中国六十年代大饥荒纪实》一书中指出，1958年到1962年全国的气候属正常年景，而这期间中国饿死了3600万人。
新华社退休高级记者杨继绳的父亲，就是在大饥荒中饿死的。还有报导这篇的新唐人记者李元翰的爷爷、奶奶也是在当时饿死的，临死前吃树皮草根、被絮里的棉花裹腹。
冯客教授在新书中指出，根据公安部门当时的报告，以及大跃进最后几个月中共内部报告显示，当时至少有4500万人非正常死亡，其中约6-8%死于酷刑或处决。
20多年前，原中国经济体制改革研究所所长陈一咨根据赵紫阳指示，曾作过一次调查统计，得出的数字也是死亡4500万人。
茅于轼：“绝对不是气候造成的，由于谎报、说假话，亩产可以达到什么几万斤，包括钱学森那篇文章，说真话的都把他们关起来。特别是人民公社，取消了一家一户自己做饭的权力，都去吃大食堂；炼钢铁的时候，大家都去炼钢铁了，你说农民怎么会炼钢铁，那不是开玩笑嘛，但是把地里的粮食都烂在地里，没有往回收，所以这是造成饥荒的原因。”
《南方都市报》9月28号以两个版面发表了长篇报导《跃进过后是饥荒–川东三年“灾害”纪实》。四川达州的朱全森说，在三年灾害期间，当地出现过数十起人吃人的案例，全国很多地方都发生过。
当时的国家主席刘少奇曾在“七千人大会”后对毛泽东说：“饿死这么多人，历史上要写上你我的，人相食，是要上书的。”
1961年，刘少奇在湖南农村考察44天后说，大饥荒的原因是“三分天灾，七分人祸”，并要毛泽东公开检讨。为扭转政治被动局面，毛泽东继而发动了文化大革命，又造成十年浩劫。
茅于轼：“共产党犯了一个空前的大错误，现在它不敢承认这个错误。其实这些错误也跟现在这些人没关系，主要是毛泽东的错误，但现在这些人也还不敢批毛泽东。所以，你不总结过去，你怎么能避免将来啊。”
冯客教授指出，这段历史中死亡还不是最惨重的记忆，而是摧毁了中国人的精神和道德体系。人被统治者变成了工具，人和人之间为了生存丢掉了基本的伦理和文明。
杨继绳认为，大饥荒其实是“一分天灾，九分人祸”，大饥荒的祸根是中共集权制度，到现在基本的政治框架并没有变。他指出，写《墓碑》这本书，也是为造成大饥荒的制度立下一个墓碑。在当今中国，几年内饿死几千万人的事应该很难再发生，但在仍是中共高度集权统治下的中国，出现其他大灾难却是难以避免的。

45 Million Deaths In The Great Famine
On October 1, National Memorial Day, Southern
Metropolis Daily published a long documentary report
on the period of the Great Leap Forward to the Great Famine,
documenting the disaster of thousands being starved to death,
when even cannibalism occurred. Feng Ke,
a history professor at the University of Hong Kong,
recently published a monograph,
concluding famine deaths were 45 million.
As always, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been
covering up its crimes and the historical truth.
Professor Feng Ke (Frank Dikotter)’s new book, “Mao
Zedong’s Great Famine:1958-1962 Catastrophe in China,"
was published on September 29, by HK New Century Press.
He points out that the true scale of the disaster is unknown.
From 1958 to 1962, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward.
He established the Three Red Flags, aimed to produce
more iron and steel than UK and US, boasted courage
of people would result in the same crop production.
He praised communism greatly, and brought unprecedented
economic, political and social disasters.
The CCP History Volume II published earlier this year states,
that according to the National Bureau of Statistics,
the three year ‘natural disaster’
caused more than 10 million deaths.
Mao Yushi, a well-known Chinese economist,
chairman of Beijing Tianze Institute of Economics,
said he did research in this area,
and has doubts about the data of 10 million deaths.
Mao Yushi (chairman, Beijing Tianze Economics Institute):
“CCP’s history claims that the population was reduced
by 10 million, who starved to death, which is very naive.
A lot of people were born in these three years.
Adding them, if the population is still reduced by 10 million,
it is apparent that the deaths were more than 10 million."
In the book, “Tombstone: Documentary of China’s 1960s
Great Femine," Yanhuang Time magazine’s vice president
Yang Jisheng says that from 1958 to 1962 the climate was
normal, but 36 million Chinese still have starved to death.
The father of Yang Jisheng, a retired senior correspondent
of Xinhua Agency, had starved to death in the Great Famine.
NTD reporter Liyuan Han’s grandparents starved to death too.
Before dying, they ate bark, grass roots, and cotton in quilts.
Professor Feng Ke pointed out in his new book, according
to police reports at the time and CCP’s internal reports
in the last few months of the movement, there were at least
45 million unnatural deaths, 6-8% from torture or execution.
Chen Yizi, China’s Economic Reform Institute’ former head,
did a survey 20 years ago, as requested by Zhao Ziyang,
and also concluded that there were 45 million deaths
as a result of the Great Famine in China.
Mao Yushi:"It is definitely not caused by the climate, but by
fake reports’ lies that grain production achieved 5,000 kg/mu.
Like Qian Xuesen, people who told the truth were detained.
Plus, people’s communes ban families’ right to cook
at home and people were ordered to eat in a large dining hall.
For the refining of steel all were asked to make steel plants.
How could peasants know how to refine steel? It was a joke.
Their crops rotted in the field and nobody went
to harvest them. This is the cause of the famine."
Nanfang Urban Newspaper published a long,
two-page documentary on September 28,
titled, ‘Famine Followed Leaping Forward
3-Year Disasters in Eastern Sichuan Province.’
Zhu Quansen in Dazhou, Sichuan said during the three-year
disaster, 10 cases of cannibalism happened locally.
Cannibalism also occurred in many parts of the country.
Former President Liu Shaoqi then told Chairman Mao
after the ‘7,000 people meeting:’
“So many people have starved to death. You and I will
go in the history, cannibalism would be recorded in books."
In 1961, Liu Shaoqi audited rural Hunan Province for 44 days,
and said, the famine is “30% natural and 70% man-made.”
Liu also asked Mao to criticize himself publicly.
In order to get himself out of this situation, Mao launched
the Cultural Revolution causing another 10-years of disasters.
Mao Yushi: “The CCP made a big and unprecedented
mistake, but it did not dare to admit its fault.
These mistakes are not related to today’s CCP people,
but are mainly Mao’s mistakes. However, nowadays people
dare not criticize Mao Zedong. If you (CCP) do not consider
the past, how can you (CCP) avoid mistakes in the future?"
Prof. Feng Ke points out, in the Great Famine death was not
the worst; it destroyed people’s spiritual and moral values.
People became tools in the hands of the CCP rulers,
and the basic ethics and civility amongst people were lost.
Yang Jisheng believes that the Great Famine
is “10% natural, and 90% man-made."
The major cause of the famine is the Chinese totalitarian
regime, which has not changed.
He pointed out in the book – Tombstone also means to set
a tombstone for the system, that caused the Great Famine.
Today tens of millions may not starve to death in a few years,
but in the CCP-controled China, catastrophes are inevitable.
