【新唐人2011年11月21日訊】北大教授孔慶東用粗話拒絕南方報系記者採訪，並通過微博炫耀的事件持續發酵。在大部分民衆聲討孔慶東的時候，河北和山西相繼有左派聚集焚燬《南方週末》等南方報系出版物，以聲援孔慶東。分析人士認爲，事件折射了中國左右兩派之爭。雖然毛派思潮已邊緣化，但兩派之爭受益的實際是統治者。
據香港《蘋果日報》報導，11月18號上午，河北石家莊市有多名自稱代表左派愛國者的網民，將收集來的數百份《南方週末》、《南方都市報》、《南方人物週刊》等，拉到郊區野外垃圾場焚燒填埋。
報導說，17號，有太原市網民買斷了當地部分報亭最新一期的《南方週末》，將數百份報紙堆放在廣場公開焚燒，並指責南方報業集團「詆譭了黨和政府在人民群眾心目中所謂的地位和威信」。
南方都市報記者：「這種市場化的媒體現在都是偏自由主義的價值觀。實際上烏有之鄉是堅持毛主義的，烏有之鄉在中國很難説他有多大的影響力。他們人數其實不多的，但是我覺得他們在這個時代顯得有些另類。我覺得很難和他們講道理了，因爲那些人基本上說的東西都已經很脫節，很落伍了。我不覺得他們有太大的影響力。」
以敢言著稱的南方報業被普遍視為內地自由派言論陣地。外界認為這次焚燒南方報刊，是烏有之鄉的「毛左」們為北大教授孔慶東撐腰。
11月7號孔慶東以「三個罵娘的排比句」，拒絕了《南方人物週刊》的採訪，並通過微博高調推廣，引來媒體和網民的「炮轟」。
甚至《新華社》在兩天後也加入了「倒孔行列」，批評孔慶東把辱罵記者的粗魯當個性，敦促北大解聘孔慶東。同時北大學生也呼籲校長辭退這個「五毛教授」。
不過孔慶東對此毫不示弱。他在自己的第一視頻陣地上，大罵《新華社》「帶頭製作虛假新聞」。
作家楊銀波：「所謂的右派和或者是所謂的左派在我眼中看來，其實並不那麽分明。其實我覺得都很可憐。都像被關在鐵籠子裏面互相爭鬥，實際上到最後他們誰都不是得益者，真正得益的是統治者，其實老百姓自己看上去挺可憐的，用這種方式作一個發洩。」
《蘋果日報》報導，作家李鳴生斥責燒報是文革遺風，「可笑、可嘆、可悲」。他指出，某些官員對《南方週末》恨之入骨，卻未能摧毀它，如今有人燒燬它，真是「權霸未做到，愚民卻做到了！」
原河北人民廣播電臺編輯朱欣欣則認爲，現在中共當局會時不時的利用一下毛派來打壓自由派勢力。實際上焚燒報紙的背後是有各種的力量在推動。
朱欣欣：「從國內一般的民衆的思想來看呢，大家都了解到世界大的趨勢，同時人們的權利意識也都在覺醒，所以說要回到毛澤東時代是不可能的，所以說大多數的人都能夠認同自由民主平等的世界普世價值，這是無庸置疑的。」
有「中國人民大學」學者則呼籲：「他們燒南系，誰來燒北系？」「應該燒《人民日報》、腳踩《環球時報》反擊！」

Maoism Leftists Burned Southern Press Newspapers
Peking University professor Kong Qingdong,
verbally abused a reporter of the Southern Press Group,
rejected an interview, and showed off in his micro blog.
The event goes on with a majority of public denouncements.
Meanwhile, in Hebei and Shanxi provinces,
the local leftists gathered to burn Southern Weekly and
other publications of the Southern Press Group,
to back up Kong Qingdong.
Analysts say that the event reflects a struggle between
China』s Left and Right forces.
Though Maoist thought has been marginalized,
the real beneficiary of the two-forces』 fight is the ruler.
Hong Kong』s Apple Daily reported that on November 18,
several netizens who professed themselves as
representatives of China』s left-wing patriots, burned
hundreds of Southern Weekly, Southern Metropolis Daily,
Southern People Weekly and among other journals
in a waste dump located on rural outskirts.
The reports said that on November 17, some Taiyuan-based
netizens bought out the latest issue of Southern Weekly that was sold locally.
They stacked hundreds of newspapers in a square and
openly burned them, accusing that the
Southern Press Group “defamed the status and prestige of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its government in civilians』 mind."
Southern Metropolis Daily reporter:
“Now the market-oriented media holds pro-liberalism values.
In fact, the left-wing』s netizens are actually upholding Maoism,
which is hard to say how much it can impact in China,
they haven』t got many followers in reality.
But I feel they are a bit alternative.
I』ve found it』s very difficult to reason with them, for their claims
have been very difficult to explain the reason with them,
for their claims have been very out of touch and far behind the times.
So I don』t think they』ll have too much influences.”
Known for being outspoken, the Southern Press Group is
widely considered as a front for liberal views.
Comments say that the event of burning Southern
newspapers and journals is the Maoism Leftists giving support to Kong Qingdong,
a professor at Peking University.
On November 7, with three parataxis of “sex” abuses,
Kong rejected Southern People Weekly』s interview.
Later, Kong even bragged about it in his micro blog,
incurring blasts from the media and netizens.
Even Xinhua News Agency joined the activity, criticizing
that Kong Qingdong regarded rude abuses of reporter as his personality,
urging Peking University authorities to dismiss him.
Meanwhile, Peking University students called on
the president to fire such a “50-Cents professor".
However, Kong did not tolerate on this.
Online, he blasted Xinhua News Agency which “takes the lead in producing false news".
Yang Yinbo(Writer): “The so-called right-wing and left-wing
are actually not so clearly defined, in my view.
In fact, I feel sad for them. They both seem as if they are
locked up inside a cage fighting each other, but neither is the ultimate beneficiary.
In reality, the real beneficiary is the ruler.
China』s civilians are really wretched; they have to use this sort of way to give vent.”
Apple Daily reported that writer, Li Mingsheng, criticized
the burning newspaper event as a “ridiculous, deplorable
and lamentable” practice which was handed down from
the Cultural Revolution.
Li said that some officials hate Southern Weekly』s guts,
but have failed to destroy it.
Now someone has burnt it, which can really be described
as “the autocrat hasn』t yet done it, instead, blockhead civilians have done it first !"
Former editor of Hebei People Radio Station, Zhu Xinxin,
comments that from time to time,
the CCP authorities use the Maoist force in order to
suppress the liberal force.
So the incident of the burning newspaper was pushed
by various forces behind-the-scenes.
Zhu Xinxin: “What we have seen from the general mind of
China』s civilians, is that they know the world trend.
Their human rights consciousness is also awakening.
So it』s impossible to go back to the Mao Zedong era.
In other words, the majority of people recognize the
universal values of freedom, democracy and equality. This is beyond question.”
Peking University scholars appeal, “They burned the
Southern Press, who will burn the Northern one? “
“They should fight back by burning the People’s Daily,
and tread on the Global Times!"
