【新唐人2014年01月15日訊】1月12號，北京師大女附中「老三屆」的20多名學生，與30多名老師、家屬舉行見面會。他們向「文革」中受到傷害的校領導、師生道歉。而「女附中」校友王友琴多年來收集材料，揭示「文革」期間學生打死老師的慘痛往事。她敦促中國人勿忘歷史，反省歷史。
1966年8月5號，「北京師大女附中」副校長卞仲耘被批鬥致死。卞仲耘為北京市第一位死於「文革」批鬥的教育工作者。
現任「芝加哥大學東亞語言文化系」高級講師的王友琴，是「女附中」校友。她撰寫的《文革受難者》這本書當中，有卞仲耘的列傳。
芝加哥大學東亞系高級講師王友琴：「師大女附中是北京第一個打死校長的。在全國據我調查是第二個。在南京8月3號就出現了這樣的事情。然後後來就是8•18的時候。」
文革期間，「北京師大女附中」的「紅衛兵」領袖宋彬彬，是上將之女。
根據《文革受難者》介紹，1966年8月18號，宋彬彬在天安門給前中共黨魁毛澤東戴上紅袖章。當時毛澤東問她名字，得知她叫宋彬彬後，毛澤東回道：「要武嘛。」兩天後——8月20號，中共機關報《光明日報》發表文章:《我給毛主席戴上紅袖章》。作者署名「宋要武」。
王友琴：「她在天安門上，有跟毛澤東有關於『要武』的談話。那麼我們現在看歷史看的非常清楚。在8•18之前，北京有兩個老師被打死了。一個是宋彬彬所在學校的老師。」
宋彬彬文革後赴美，並拿到地球化學博士學位，曾出任美國環境分析官員，已入籍美國。12號的見面會上，宋彬彬向當年在校的所有老師、同學道歉。她說，由於「擔心別人指責自己『反對鬥黑幫』，她沒有、也不可能強勢去阻止對卞校長和校領導們的武裝。」
而王友琴當年曾親眼目睹了校長批鬥會的前半個小時。她在撰寫卞仲耘之死的過程中，也採訪了其他證人。她在文章中描述，五個被鬥者被亂棒橫掃，棒子上有釘子，打在人身上，一打就在肉上戳出一個小洞，血隨即從小洞裡湧流出來。
過去三年，宋彬彬強烈反駁王友琴對她在「文革」期間的行為批評。
王友琴表示，她不曾說過是宋彬彬親自動手打死校長，只是描述她在學生打老師這個過程當中，起到的作用。
王友琴說，在過了「8•18」之後，北京每天被打死的人數直線上升，一共打死了1772個人。她表示，這就是為甚麼她要指出「8•18」這個集會，在「紅衛兵」暴力發展過程中的意義和作用。
而向校領導、師生「道歉」這件事，對王友琴來說，有點突然。因為過去三年，宋彬彬等人強烈攻擊《文革受難者》這本書。但是，王友琴還是認為：道歉是好事。
王友琴：「這是一個進步。不管這個道歉是……現在也有很多人提出來，其實是替自己粉飾和找理由，這個道歉是非常勉強，這都沒有關係，但是是一個道歉。這個道歉至少告訴我們，他們還是知道，他們做的事情是錯的，是要道歉的。而這個事情呢，也非常令我們驚訝的，已經過去四十七年了，居然我們在這樣一個大是大非面前，我們還要用這樣激烈的爭論來說明。」
王友琴說，在她調查的10個北京女子中學裡，在1966年的8月，也就是「紅衛兵」所說的「紅八月」，有6人、13名校長，3名老師是被活活打死的。
王友琴：「這樣子的殘忍和野蠻血腥的往事，我們應該來釐清事實。第二，我們應該來反省這樣的事情。然後我們才可以防止這樣的事情再發生，是不是？」
去年10月，中共早期將領陳毅之子陳小魯，公開向「文革」中被批鬥的老師道歉，而引發外界對「文革」反思的爭議。

Red Guards Apologize For Cultural Revolution
Women who graduated from Beijing Normal University
Girls High School between1966 and 1968 have spoken out.
In a meeting with their former teachers and
their families, the women apologized for
their actions during the Cultural Revolution.
In the book, “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
author Wang Youqin exposed many painful
memoirs of teachers killed by the students.
An alumni of the school, Wang Youqin urged Chinese
people to reflect on their history, and not to forget it.
Bian Zhongyun was Deputy Principle of
Beijing Normal University Girls High School.
On August 5, 1966, Bian was killed during a
Cultural Revolution campaign, for criticizing and
denouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Bian Zhongyun was the first teacher to be
murdered by the Red Guards in Beijing.
Wang Youqin, is a graduate of Beijing
Normal University Girls High School.
She became Director of the Chinese Language
Program, East Asian Languages and Civilizations
(EALC), at the University of Chicago.
In her research, “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
the biography of Bian Zhongyun was detailed.
Wang Youqin: “The Beijing Normal University
Girls High School’s teacher was the first to
be killed in Beijing, and the second in the nation.
A teacher had already been killed in Nanjing on August 3.
Then the massive Red Guards rally took place on August 18
in Tiananmen Square, which became known as 8-18 Rally."
During the Cultural Revolution, Song Binbin, a
daughter of an Admiral, was the Red Guards leader
at Beijing Normal University Girls High School.
According to “Victims of the Cultural Revolution",
Song Binbin pinned a red armband on Mao Zedong
in Tiananmen Square on August 18, 1966.
Mao asked her name. After her reply,
Mao answered, “Yao Wu (to arm well)".
Two days later, on August 20, an article entitled,
“I put on a red armband for Chairman Mao", appeared in
Chinese Communist Party newspaper, Guangming Daily.
It was authored by “Song Yaowu".
Wang Youqin: “She had the conversation with Mao Zedong
in Tiananmen Square about the Yao Wu (to arm well).
Looking back at history, it is very clear that two
teachers in Beijing were killed prior to the 8-18 rally.
The teacher at Song Binbin’s school was one of them."
Song Binbin, a naturalized American, obtained a doctorate
in Geochemistry in the US, after the Cultural Revolution.
In the meeting on the January 12, Song Binbin
apologized to former teachers and students.
She said that she did not and could not stop others
from attacking Principal Bian and other school leaders.
Song herself feared being charged with
“opposing to fight the bourgeois elements".
Wang Youqin had witnessed the first half hour of
the session where Principal Bian was criticised.
After interviewing other witnesses, she described how
five victims were hit by wooden sticks with nails in.
Upon being hit, the nails would pierce holes in
the skin, and blood would gush out immediately.
Over the past three years, Song Binbin has
strongly refuted Wang Youqin’s criticism of
her behavior during the Cultural Revolution.
Wang Youqin explained that she never
said Song Binbin killed the principal.
She only described Song’s role in attacking the teachers.
Wang Youqin describes how the killing escalated in Beijing,
and a total of 1,772 people were killed after the 8-18 Rally.
That is the reason why she particularly pointed
out the meaning and role of the 8-18 Rally in
the development of the Red Guards violence.
Song Binbin’s apology to the school leaders and
students came as a surprise to Wang Youqin.
During the past three years, Song Binbin has strongly
attacked her research about victims of the Cultural Revolution.
However, Wang Youqin believes the apology is a good thing.
Wang Youqin: “This is an improvement.
Regardless of whether the apology is sincere
or, as many suspect, is only a whitewash,
it is nevertheless important that it’s an apology.
The apology indicates that they know their wrongs.
What is surprising is that, after 47 years, we still
need to engage in such heated debate to prove this."
Wang Youqin discusses her survey
of 10 girls high schools in Beijing.
In August 1966, which became known as Red August, there
were 6 people, 13 principals, and 3 teachers beaten to death.
Wang Youqin: “We need to clarify the facts
of this cruel, barbaric and bloody past.
We should also reflect on this past, to prevent
something like this from happening again.
Is it not already?"
Last October, former Red Guard Chen Xiaolu, the
son of General Chen Yi, made a public apology to
the teachers attacked during the Cultural Revolution.
Subsequently, the debate to remember and reflect
on the Cultural Revolution has gathered momentum.
