【新唐人2011年10月8日讯】每逢重大节日，孙中山的画像才会摆放在天安门广场。但最近，6位在湖北的80岁老人计划上书国务院及全国人大，希望当局将天安门的毛泽东像取下，换上孙中山的画像。他们认为这样有利于中国的兴旺发达和统一，也是尊重全球华人心声。
这6位老人，一直不敢将“更换天安门毛泽东像”的建议公诸于众，老人们担心会遭到中共打压报复。大陆老右派学者、作家铁流收到老人们的信后赞成他们的想法，于是将建议公布。
老人们表示，毛泽东和蒋介石是“革命尚未成功”事业的继承者和学生，这也是两者生前一致认可的。
水产局退休干部彭骥云认为，孙中山像挂在天安门比毛泽东更合适。因为孙中山奠定了中国的革命基础，得到世界各地华侨认可，这能使中国更兴旺发达。而毛泽东的很多做法不能得到百分之百的拥护。
彭骥云：“他的身边的一些大将都是跟着革命为什么都成了他的敌人，比如说彭德怀，出生入死得到毛泽东的表扬，为什么以后把他劳改死了呢？像刘少奇，它是中华人民共和国的主席，如果有思想问题可以交换，也不至于把他搞得怎么样。”
原政协干部汪烈九也认为，现在是中国建设的阶段，如果把孙中山先生的像挂上天安门，把毛泽东尸体回到韶山，蒋介石遗体回到奉化，比较有利于中国统一。
农业局退休干部、当了21右派的王平则认为，毛泽东一直搞阶级斗争，害死的人、整死的人、冤枉死的人无计其数，无数家庭妻离子散、家破人亡。他没有资格挂在天安门上。
王平:“因为毛当政的30年当中没做一件好事，没为中国革命干一件好事。开始就搞阶级斗争学说，搞一个政治运动接一个政治运动，把全国划分人民和敌人两大部分，每次运动都要打出5%的敌人。他整个整死的、饿死的、害死的、中国人是近8千万，古今中外暴君都没有他搞死的人多。”
学者铁流认为，天安门挂孙中山像更合适。因为孙中山领导辛亥革命结束了两千多年的帝制，所以，国民党叫他国父，共产党叫他国父，老百姓叫他国父，世界华人也都叫他国父。
铁流：“共产党和国民党是孙中山的两个儿子，一个是土匪，一个是军阀，最后土匪打倒了军阀。他们都尊重孙中山，所以，挂孙中山像最好，他是国父，他推翻了帝制、推翻了清朝。”
铁流还表示，一个国家的复兴，不在乎它是否有原子弹、飞机大炮，在于它是否有精神理念、道德。从回归正统、回归道德的理念来看，就是应该用“三民主义”来治理国家，而不是再用什么邪说主义。尊重孙中山，中共执政合法性也得到了解决。
铁流：“孙中山到天安门去，这个国家就对了，归属就清楚了。”
不过，网上有人对节日人民英雄纪念碑前竖立孙中山像提出质疑，认为孙中山和共和国的国庆没有任何关系。
铁流：“共产党得到政权以后，一直在说假话，到现在还宣传毛泽东是伟大英明领袖，还封杀历史。不敢面对反右斗争，不敢面对三年人祸，不敢面对大跃进，不敢面对人民公社，不敢面对文化大革命。”
铁流指出，面对历史就要把毛泽东的像取下来，这是“顺天意、和民心”，“能解民生，能平民怨”的事情。他说，解决毛泽东问题，是解决中国人恐惧、解决中国体制和民主问题的关键。

Thoughts On Removing Mao’s Portrait
Anchor:
In China, Sun Yat-sen’s portrait is allowed to be displayed
but only on the major bank holidays.
Recently, increasingly more citizens hope to replace
Mao’s portrait with Sun Yat-sen’s portrait in Tiananmen Square.
Six citizens from Hubei Province plan to write a letter to Beijing,
or the Central government.
They believe that they are expressing the wishes all Chinese.
Reporter:
The six senior citizens haven’t made their plans public,
As they fear the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) revenge.
Tie Liu, a writer, received the letter and suggested that
the drafters of the letter solicit recommendations from the public.
The letter expressed that both Mao and Chiang Kai-shek were
students and successors of the “Failure Revolution” career,
which are admitted by both in their lifetime.
Peng Jiyun, a retired cadre, likes the idea to removing Mao’s
portrait and replacing it with Sun Yat-sen’s portrait in Tiananmen Square.
Sun has laid a foundation for China’s revolution, thus he has
been recognized around the world. However, Mao hasn’t.
Peng Jiyun: “Why have the generals who followed Mao’s
Wishes during the revolution, now become his enemies?
Peng Dehuai, was highly praised by Mao for risking his life
during the battle, however, was sent to a labor camp until his death.
Chairman Liu Shaoqi, who also persecuted to death.
If people have different opinions, they can share with each other.
How can you persecute people to death?”
Wang Liejiu, a former cadre, believes that removing Mao’s
Portrait from Tiananmen Square and replacing it with
Sun Yat-sen’s portrait, will cause people to want to send Mao’s
body to his hometown, and return Chiang Kai-shek’s body
to his respective hometown,
thus paving a way for China’s reunification.
Wang Ping, a retired cadre, who was persecuted for 21 years
during the Cultural Revolution, believes that Mao ordered
the persecution and death of many people,
breaking families apart, thus he doesn’t deserve to be on the Square.
Wang: “Mao didn’t do a single good thing
during his 40 years of power.
He started the class struggle movement.
He invented one persecution movement after another.
He classified people into two groups: the people and the enemy.
He persecuted 5 percent of the so-called ‘enemies’
in each political movement, killing over 80 million citizens, in total.
He is the worst tyrant in the history of mankind!”
Tie Liu, a scholar, believes that displaying Sun Yat-sen’s portrait
in Tiananmen Square is more appropriate as Sun led
the Xinhai Revolution, ending the emperor’s 2,000-year reign.
Sun was a co-founder of the Kuomintang (KMT) Nationalist Party
in China and if often referred to as “The Father of the KMT.”
The CCP calls him “The Nation’s Father,” so as the Chinese in the abroad.
Tie Liu: “The KMT and the CCP are two sons of Sun Yat-sen,
One is a communist bandit, the other is a warlord.
The bandit beat the warlord in the end.
Both sons respect Sun, which is good for both sides, thus it is better
to display Sun’s portrait.
Tie Liu said that a nation’s recovery,
depends on its spiritual philosophy, it doesn’t depend on
whether it has atomic bombs, aircrafts, or missiles.
Tie suggests that Sun Yat-sen’s Three People’s Principles
should be used to run the country.
Only by respecting Sun can the issue of the CCP’s legitimacy
be resolved.
Tie: “Displaying Sun Yat-sen’s portrait in Tiananmen Square
will put the country on the right track.
The CCP’s rule will then have legitimacy.
If Mao stays, the CCP will exist without legitimacy or legality.”
However, netizens questioned the idea of erecting a statue
of Sun in front of the Monument to the People’s Heroes,
which treats Mao as a god,
as Sun has nothing to do with the Monument.
Tie Liu: “Since the CCP came to power in China,
it has been telling countless lies.
Even now the CCP still promotes Mao as a wise leader.
The CCP also distorts history, daring not to face
its self-created political civil wars, such as Anti-rightists,
the Great Famine, the Great Leap Forward,
and the Great Cultural Revolution.”
Tie Liu points out that taking down Mao’s portrait is
following the will of God and the people’s will.
It will be good solution for civilian’s livelihood
and will reduce complaints.
He said that resolving Mao’s issue is the key point to
resolving the culture of fear in China, which will help resolve
the problems of China’s system and democracy.
