【新唐人2013年06月18日訊】廣州市6座正在發掘的先秦古墓一夜之間被毀，有70年左右歷史的金陵臺、和妙高臺等民國的建築，一夜之間被夷為殘垣斷壁。在大陸，這樣令人痛心的毀壞文物事件仍然在不斷髮生。經歷文革浩劫的文物，正在經歷強拆的浩劫。
夜晚黑暗而靜謐，當夢神掩上大多數人的眼睛時，卻也有些人趁著黑暗，偷偷摸摸的幹著為人所恥的勾當。6月14號，就是這樣的一個夜晚，廣州市蘿崗區來峰崗遺址，正在開發的6座先秦古墓，一夜之間變成了一片黃土。
被毀壞的6座古墓，是從商代晚期至春秋戰國時期的墓葬，考古人員正在進行挖掘。不過，同時，這裡也在建設地鐵6號綫，由中鐵二局承建。
中鐵二局官員解釋說，這次現場的破壞是因為沒有明顯的標示，施工工人不清楚是個誤會。
但是，在考古發掘現場工作的鍾先生對媒體形容，被挖掉的都是考古人員用紅線圍起來的範圍，還樹有文物考古勘探發掘區的黃色警示牌。同時，沒有發掘完的墓葬被大幅塑料布遮住，目標非常明顯，不可能看不見。更可疑的是，他們的考古工具還特意被人移動到了一旁。
考古學家分析，估計今年6月之前，這一片工地至少已經破壞了十多座古墓，破壞的文物數量無法估計。
很顯然，14號的那個晚上並不是一個偶然的夜晚。同樣是廣州市，再來看看發生在6月10號深夜的一幕。
在廣州越秀區觀綠路和詩書路交界處附近的居民，被轟鳴和震動驚醒。聲音來自詩書路69號之一的民國建築，持續了好幾個小時。早上起來居民們吃驚的發現，曾經引起社會廣泛關注的金陵臺和妙高臺，被鏟成了一片斷瓦殘垣，附近居民形容簡直和日本鬼子轟炸過一樣！
被拆毀的兩棟民國建築建於上世紀40年代，其中妙高臺曾是粵劇泰斗薛覺先的故居，專家評估具有歷史價值，應予以保留，因此在去年獲得了緩拆令。但是，最終還是沒能逃脫被開發商強拆的命運，引發了廣州民眾的怒火。
網友「古粵秀色」在微博上說，「專家論證已有價值，都被拆除，簡直是廣州文保史上的恥辱，無法接受。讓熱愛廣州、對廣州文保給予希望的我們非常失望！默哀！」
還有網友指出，保護歷史建築的法規一直不完善，開發商即使被追究也只是罰款了事，開發商將罰款當成本。更有廣州市民質疑，開發商為甚麼敢無視緩拆令強行開工？背後是否有官商勾結？
事件引發社會廣泛關注後，大陸和香港媒體的報導形成有趣的對比。
《中新網》等大陸媒體報導，官方稱金陵臺、妙高臺被拆屬『開發商私拆』行為，將責任歸咎於開發商，對開發商的背景卻只字不提。
但香港《東方日報》等媒體報導，強拆金陵臺、妙高臺的開發商公司法定代表人，是香港旅遊發展局主席林建岳，他也是全國政協委員。
香港媒體批評說，中國五千年文明，經歷十年文革浩劫，本來已被破壞得七零八落，如今文物也遭強拆，五千年文明逐漸消亡，經濟發展空有軀殼，沒有靈魂。
大陸網絡作家荊楚﹕「共產黨講保護文物，其實就是一種民族主義。來吸引國人的眼球，來愚弄人民而已。它所說的保護文物是假，應該有它意識形態、奴役、控制人民，才是它真實的目地。」
這樣的夜晚不僅僅發生在廣州，也不僅僅局限於6月。目前，大陸仍然沒有任何法令和措施，保護文革中倖存下來的文物，能逃過新一輪「強拆」的浩劫。

Guangzhou city’s ancient cultural relics again meet with calamity
Six pre-Qin dynasty tombs that were being excavated
in Guangzhou were destroyed overnight.
The Jinling Platform and Miaogao Platform built
over 70 years ago have also been razed to ruins overnight.
In mainland China, destruction of cultural relics
as such continue to occur.
Cultural relics that survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution
are experiencing the demolition calamity.
In the dark of the night, while most people are dreaming,
some people take advantage of dark nights to commit crimes.
On the night of June 14, six pre-Qin dynasty tombs that
were being excavated at Laifenggang in Luogang District,
Guangzhou City, turned into ruins overnight.
The six tombs were from the late Shang Dynasty
to the Spring and Autumn Period.
Archaeologists were in the process of digging.
Yet, the site is also on the route of metro line 6, a construction
project by the China Railway No. 2 Engineering Group.
China Railway No. 2 Engineering Group (CREGC) officials
say that the demolition was due to a lack of signs
clearly marking the site, and that construction workers didn’t
know about the relics, and it was a misunderstanding.
However, Mr. Zhong who was working at the excavation site
told the media that the places ruined were fenced with red tape.
There were also yellow warning signs. In addition, large
pieces of plastic sheets were covering the unfinished sites.
The site was marked very clearly; impossible to miss.
More suspiciously, archaeological tools were moved to the side.
Archaeologists analyzed that over a dozen tombs were
damaged this year, a loss of invaluable cultural heritage.
Obviously, what happened on June 14 was not a coincidence.
Just look at what occurred in the night of June 10th,
also in Guangzhou City
Residents close to the Guangui Rd. and Shishu Rd.
intersection were shocked awake by roaring noise.
The noise came from 69 Shishu Road, where an old
building was located, and lasted several hours.
In the morning, residents were surprised to see
the once well-known Jinling Platform and Miaogao Platform
shoveled into ruins.
Nearby residents described the scene as similar to
how things looked when China was bombed by the Japanese.
The buildings were built in the ’40s,
when the nationalist part ruled.
Miaogao Platform was home to Yue Opera star Mr. Xue Jue.
Experts assessed it as valuable and needing to be preserved.
A demolition order for it was put on hold last year.
Ultimately, however, it could not escape demolition.
This sparked public anger in Guangzhou.
One Netizen posted on Weibo, China’s social media:
‘Experts have confirmed its value, yet it was still demolished.
It’s simply a shame for Guangzhou’s history.
It cannot be accepted.
We, who love Guangzhou and have high hope for
Guangzhou’s cultural preservation, are deeply disappointed!’
Other netizens say the regulations to protect
historic buildings have always been imperfect.
Even though developers are investigated, they are only fined.
Developers just treat it as production cost.
Some Guangzhou residents questioned why developers
dared to defy the order to put the demolitions on hold,
and whether there was collusion with officials?
After the incident triggered widespread concern,
Chinese and Hong Kong media have had very different reports.
China News Service and other Chinese media reported that
“the authorities claimed that Jinling and Miaogao platforms
were subjected to the Developers private demolition.”
They shift the responsibility to developers,
but didn’t mention their background.
However, Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily and other media say
the developer’s legal representative was Chairman Peter Lam
of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, who is also a member of
the National Committee of
the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Hong Kong media said that China’s 5000 years of civilization
has already been smashed to pieces after the Cultural Revolution.
Now cultural relics are also being ‘demolished.’
The 5000 year old civilization is gradually withering.
China now has built up its economy unreal illusion,
but it has totally lost its soul.
Mainland Chinese internet writer Jing Chu:
“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) protects heritage
to attract people’s attention.
It uses the form of nationalism to fool people.
It’s claiming to protect cultural heritage is false.
Its real goal is to control people with its ideology.”
Such things have happened not only in Guangzhou,
and isn’t an occurrence limited to the past six months.
Currently China still has no measures in place to protect
the cultural relics which survived the Cultural Revolution.
In these circumstances, such destructions will likely continue.
