【新唐人2013年05月06日訊】雖然「五四」運動過去了近100年，今年的「五四」，中國各地在政府的組織下，依然舉行了各種慶祝活動。在共產黨近100年的宣傳中，「五四」在民眾心中，成為「愛國、進步、民主、科學」的代名詞。不過歷史學家們則認為，「五四」雖然給中國人帶去了民主、科學的理念，但他也帶去了共產主義，徹底摧毀了中華傳統文化，導致當今中國各種人倫敗像的出現，以及道德底線的失落。
據大陸官方網站報導，近100年後的今天，不只是中國大陸在慶祝「五四」青年節，包括香港、澳門和台灣也在舉行各種各樣的慶祝和研討活動，甚至成了「我的中國夢」的交流會。
國際媒體撰文評論，當代中國青年大部分人都成了「精緻的利己主義者」，或得過且過的物質主義者，很少有人去培養自己的獨立人格，或者去爭取公民自由，呼籲「五四」精神的回歸中國。
時事評論員邢天行指出，當今的中國最愛國的群體遭到打壓，在現實面前，很多年輕人趨利避害，選擇了「拜金主義」。
時事評論員 邢天行：「跟大陸那個環境是有關係的，它對於真正的那些希望對國家有所貢獻，憂國憂民的那些人是不歡迎的，而且是打壓的，我們大家都知道這叫異見群體，包括律師當今那些敢於說話，敢於為老百姓維權的那些人，這些人恰恰是中國的最愛國的這一部分。」
歷史學家李元華指出，今天再提「五四」，如果用西方的科學、民主來對抗中共邪教，還有一定的積極意義，但是國人不能忽視「五四」推行全盤否定中華傳統文化，給中國帶來的災難性的惡果。
歷史學家 李元華：「他們所謂引進『德先生』、『賽先生』，引進自由民主，這也是西方的普世價值，但是它的一個前提是把中國全盤的否定，這是『五四』的基本一個精神，所以『五四』裡面，不管陳獨秀、包括胡適講的新文化，都是要破壞整個中國傳統文化的，因為在這個基礎上，共產主義才能進來。」
李元華說，當時的愛國青年認為中國被侵略，是中國的傳統文化造成的，實際上，當時的滿清，人們也同樣有言論自由、結社自由，比當今中共的獨裁要強得多。
「五四運動」起源於1919年5月4號，北京大批學生和民眾不滿第一次世界大戰後的「巴黎和會」，同意讓日本取得德國在山東的利益，民眾遊行和罷工罷課，抗議當時的北洋政府表現軟弱。
隨後，青年學子們開始探求中國當局軟弱的原因，尋求救國良藥，開始了「打倒孔家店」，全面否定中國傳統文化的所謂「新文化運動」。
原大陸史學教授 劉因全：「所謂的孔家店代表了中國的傳統文化的精華，砸爛孔家店，事實上是對中國傳統文化徹底的否定，但是五四運動，好多人為甚麼給予肯定﹖就是它表面上有一層愛國主義的光環。」
在「五四」運動不到1年的時間裏，1920年初，「五四」領導人李大釗和陳獨秀等人，開始醞釀建立共產黨。
劉因全：「五四運動被蘇聯很好的利用了，把五四的愛國運動變成了一種反西方文化的運動，最後發展到所謂的反對帝國主義，所謂的帝國主義，我們現在看就是西方資本主義的文化，如果反西方就一定要投靠蘇聯，這樣就納入到共產主義，就成了蘇聯帝國主義他們的附庸。」
劉因全還指出，共產黨的出現，國民黨的聯俄聯共，以及國共合作，都與「五四運動」的出現有直接關係。
旅德自由思想家仲維光提出，五四的口號是「科學和民主」，然而，科學（Science）竟然與馬克思主義相聯繫，民主則與共產黨極權主義專制聯繫。而馬克思主義成為主導中國最近百年來精英們的「意識形態」和「思想武器」。

May Fourth Movement: A Century Long Impact
The May Fourth Movement took place nearly 100 years ago,
and the Chinese government still hosts celebrations for it.
With 100 years of Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP)
propaganda, May Fourth has become a synonym of “patriotism, progress, democracy, and science.”
However, historians believe though May Fourth Movement
brought ideas of democracy and science to China,
the CCP had in fact ruined the Chinese traditional culture,
which lead to the loss of ethics and to moral deterioration.
According to China’s state media report, 100 years later,
not only the Mainland but also Hong Kong, Macao,
and Taiwan are still celebrating the May Fourth Movement.
There’s even an experience sharing seminar about it,
called, “My Chinese Dream.”
International media noted that Chinese young people now,
are mostly “exquisite egoist” or perfunctory materialists.
There are very few people who cultivate independent
personality, or fight for citizens’ freedom to revive the May Fourth spirit in China.
Political commentator Xing Tianhang pointed out,
those people who love China most have been persecuted.
Many Chinese people chose the money worship,
when faced with conflicts.
Xing Tianhang, political commentator: “This is related
to the environment in Mainland China.
The government doesn’t welcome people who truly give
to the country, and suppresses those who really worry about China.
Those people, as we know, are called dissidents,
including outspoken lawyers who protect peoples’ rights.
And they are the people,
who love China the most.”
Historian Li Yuanhua thinks, talking about May Fourth,
western science and democracy may still have some positive effect on confronting the evil CCP,
but Chinese people can’t ignore the tragic consequence
that May Fourth has brought to China through total negation of traditional Chinese culture.
Li Yuanhua, historian: “Their so called introducing
democracy and science as universal values,
actually negated Chinese culture totally,
which is the basic spirit of May Fourth.
Thus, the new culture Chen Duxiu and Wu Shi talked about
was to destroy the whole traditional Chinese culture.
And due to this condition,
the communism was able to enter China.”
Li Yuanhua says that Chinese young patriots at that time
believed China was restricted by the traditional culture.
In fact, even during Qing Dynasty people had more freedom
of speech and association than during CCP’s dictatorship.
On May 4th, 1919, students went out to protest in Beijing,
against giving the rights over Shandong Province to Japan,
as China entered the World War I under the condition
of all German spheres of influence be returned to China.
The Chinese students protested against the weak China’s
government through a parade and a strike that day.
Later on, young scholars started to look into the reasons of
the government’s weakness and means to save the country.
So the government started to deny Confucianism,
and initiated a New Culture Movement, that fully negated the traditional Chinese culture.
Liu Yinquan, former history professor, China: “Confucianism
represents the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
Ruining Confucianism is in fact
a negation of the traditional Chinese culture.
Then, why did many people approve the May Fourth?
Because of the patriotism the May Fourth promoted.”
Within a year after May Fourth, the movement’s leaders
Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu started to build the CCP.
Liu Yinquan: “The May Fourth was well used
by the Soviet Union.
It managed to turn a patriotic movement
into an anti-western cultural movement,
and eventually made it an anti-imperialism movement,
that is against the culture of capitalism.
Because if it’s against the western world,
it must seek a refuge with the Soviet Union.
In this way, Chinese government become communist,
and a vassal of the Soviet Union.”
Liu Yinquan also pointed out,
for the emergence of CCP, KMT allied with Russia,
as well as the KMT-CCP cooperation
were all directly related to the May Fourth Movement.
Zhong Weiguang, a freethinker living in Germany,
says the slogan of May Fourth is “Science and Democracy.”
However, it related science with Marxism,
and democracy with the CCP’s dictatorship.
Marxism was the main “ideology” and “ideological weapon”
that led Chinese elites in the past century.
