【新唐人2011年3月11日讯】埃及革命的领军人物、谷歌公司中东地区行销主管瓦尔·古宁（Wael Ghonim）受邀在《泰德：理念值得传播》这个节目中发表演讲。从一个网页开始的一场社会变革，给中国人带来了什么启示？请看详细报导。
总部位于美国纽约的非盈利性组织–泰德公司，有一档谈话节目非常有名，这个奉行“理念值得传播”的节目，经常邀请世界著名人物演讲。身为电脑领域的专家，古宁身穿衬衫、牛仔裤、运动鞋，在演讲一开场，他就用电脑语言表达了自己经历埃及革命后的感受。
“这是2.0版的革命，没有一个人是英雄，没有一个人是英雄。因为每个人都是英雄。”
古宁在演讲中表示，埃及30年来各方面都在下滑，生活在独裁统治中的人民敢怒却不敢言。古宁在脸书上建立了一个揭露当局残暴和腐败的页面后，成千上万的人们在几天内加入进来，发出自己的声音。古宁看到了网路和社交网站平台的巨大力量—-在激发和教育民众关心民主和自由这方面。
“一个独裁者不能失去武力而生存，他们要让人们活在恐惧之中。而这种恐惧的心理在多年来已经发挥了作用。这时出现了网路和技术，像黑莓 、手机短讯，这些技术帮助我们互相联系。”
埃及人在古宁提供的虚拟世界里，分享着现实生活中的梦想、痛苦，愤怒和渴望自由的心情。突尼斯革命成功后，网页的访问者们对人权和自由大量的报导，直接促成了1月25号的人们走上街头、反抗独裁暴政。1月27号，古宁在参加抗议活动中被捕并被关押12天。被释放后的第二天，他在解放广场发现埃及人不可思议的变化。
“我从未想过看到如此不可思议的埃及人，人们的恐惧已不复存在，实际上转化成了力量。人们充满力量，那真是令人吃惊。每个人都充满了力量，在要求自己的权利。完全与以前相反了。”
回到家，古宁在脸书上写道，我们将会胜利。因为第一我们不懂政治，第二我们不愿和政府玩肮脏的游戏，第三因为我们连排程都没有，第四因为我们眼里有泪，第五因为我们都对埃及未来有一个梦想。不到一周后，独裁者在人们的怒吼声中仓惶下台。
美国人权活动家唐柏桥：“2.0革命就是说，每一个人走一小步，促成这个社会走一大步。老百姓不要说，反对派还没有那么成熟。就是因为老百姓要起来，革命才能成功。不要寄希望反对派玩政治比共产党还要走火入魔。我们不要跟它玩肮脏的游戏。”
唐柏桥认为，《九评共产党》已经从思想上、根本上帮助中国人认清了中共，中国人走向民主自由一定要脱去党文化的思维想法。他说，现在，每个中国人都需要为自己、为中华民族走出自己的一小步来。

Egyptian Revolution 2.0 Inspires the Chinese People to Take the First Step
Wael Ghonim, a leader in the Egyptian Revolution and manager of Google’s middle Eastern sales, was invited to speak in a famous talk show by TED.What revelation the revolution initiated from a website has brought to Chinese people? Let’s look at the report.
US based TED is a nonprofit organization having a talk show called “Ideas Worth Spreading”.
Global influencers frequently speak at the show.As an IT specialist, Ghonim spoke at TEDxCairo in jeans and sneakers, describing his own experiences
of the Egypt revolution.
“This is revolution 2.0. No one was a hero. No one was a hero, because everyone was a hero.”
Ghonim said Egypt for 30 years had been going downhill, and people were ilenced under tyranny.
Ghonim created a Facebook page to expose the cruelty and corruption of the Egyptian regime, which attracted thousands of followers in a few days.
He saw the power of Internet and social networks in inspiring and educating the public to pursue democracy and liberty.
“A dictator can not live without the force. They want to make people live in fear. And that psychological barrier of fear has worked for so many years. And here comes the Internet, technology, Blackberry, SMS…It’s helping all of us to connect.”
Ghonim’s efforts made it possible for Egyptians to share their dreams, anguish, and desire for liberty.
Information shared online by the people after the Tunisian revolution ncouraged the protest in Egypt on Jan. 15. Ghonim was arrested on Jan. 27 during protests, and was detained for 12 days.The day after his release, Ghonim saw incredible changes among Egyptians at the Tahrir Square.
“I never thought I could see so incredible Egyptians,Their fear no longer existed. Actually, it became Strength, and people were so empowered.
It was amazing how everyone was so empowered, asking for their rights. Completely opposite to the past.”
“We will win because we have no [secret] agenda, because we do not understand politics, its balancing acts, compromises and dirty tricks, because our tears come from our hearts and our dreams are legitimate,” said Mr. Ghonim on
the Facebook page. A week later, the Egyptian regime was overthrown by the people.
Human rights activist Tang Boqiao has been working toward bringing democracy to China since 1980’s. He has supported various anti-CCP movements in China over the past 20 years.
“Revolution 2.0 means that small steps taken by individuals will become a giant leap for the society.People shouldn’t worry that the opposition isn’t ready,because the revolution will succeed when people stand up for themselves. We cannot hope for an opposition party to defeat the CCP through political
power play. We don’t want dirty tricks.”
Tang believes the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” has helped the Chinese people to see the nature of the CCP, which is necessary in the
pursuit of democracy. Now, every Chinese needs to take that small step for himself, and for the nation.
