【新唐人2012年6月20日讯】全球第一本“艾未未传”在香港出炉。书名为《艾神》，书中“讲述一个艺术家，一个公民，一个人，与他的同胞携手，跟这颗星球上的一个超级强权所作的史诗性的殊死战争。”作者说艾未未所做的事情，似乎就是为了帮自己以及其他个体生命，向中共追索属于自己的生命尊严。作者希望通过这本书表达对战士艾未未的敬意和声援。
《艾神》这本书的作者是《纽约时报》签约摄影师杜斌。
他在书中勾勒了艾未未的成长历程：艾未未从小跟随父母在流放之地，做放羊娃﹔回到北京之后在“星星画会”找到了心灵乐园，政治乌云却开始聚集﹔不惜从北京电影学院退学出国寻找自由的艾未未，在国外厌倦规矩的学校生活后，天马行空，跟三教九流做朋友，参加各种示威游行﹔父亲病重艾未未被迫回到国内，以帮人设计建筑方案维生﹔参与“鸟巢”设计，却突然发现中共拿奥运来粉饰独裁，因此拒绝出席奥运，还对外媒发表意见﹔之后发现互联网王国，于是开始关注中国社会上各种不平的事，包括“杨佳”、“汶川大地震”，而成为维权精神领袖，令中共如坐针毡，忍无可忍，终于把艾未未缉拿，关押九九八十一天。
“艾神”是网友对艾未未的尊称和昵称，大意是“他就像一个守护神一样，为需要说话的人去说话。”
杜斌说，一位广受世人尊敬的艺术家，为何要“为人而战”？究竟是什么原因而招致一个穷途末路的政权要动用所有的国家机器来颠覆和抹黑他？杜斌断定，艾未未惹中共不开心的理由只有一个：人。他对人的生命的敬畏。
杜斌：“艾未未和中共之间的矛盾，就是人的矛盾，这就是实质。就是艾未未的眼里有人，中共的眼里没有人。”
杜斌说，共产党有枪、有炮、有金钱、监狱、坦克战车、原子弹，有毁灭世间万物的超级能力，但共产党的眼里从来没有人。
艾未未做了一个人应该做的。只为告诉共产党一句话：我们是人，不是牲畜！书中引述了艾未未说的一句话：“我们是人类之中最累的，因为我们还必须证明我们是人。”
杜斌说，艾未未作为一个艺术家，他把他的艺术，溶入中国社会的变革之中。这点是很少艺术家做的事情。
杜斌：“他身上让人最珍贵的是，与强权的抗争，用他非常艺术的方式，非常柔软，非常有技巧的方式，来与一个强权做抗争，我觉得这一点是最珍贵的。因为艺术往往是人的智慧的结晶，往往是其他人想不到的一种方式，但是他用这种方式来干预社会的一些事情。”
杜斌说，艾未未做的事情都是很小的事情。而这种很小的事情，往往就能碰触到作为一个完整的人内心最柔软的地方。
杜斌：“最让我感动的是，在汶川地震，他收集了这么多孩子的名字，他后来用了八千接近九千个孩子用的书包，做了一个展览。那个作品我觉得它太直观了，用这么多的书包，每个书包就像一个孩子一样，每个孩子都不在这个世界了。”
艾未未父亲艾青曾被共产党流放二十年，曾被指派做清扫粪便的工作。
杜斌说，作为儿子的艾未未今天还在继续这份事业。曾经有网友对艾未未能够出国却坚守国内战斗表示敬意，艾未未回答说，“我是蛆”。杜斌的书中多次用“粪便政权”指代中共。
杜斌：“ 它（中共）不是跟粪便一样肮脏，它应该是比粪便还肮脏。看看发生在艾青身上的事情，看看发生在艾未未身上的事情。现在他做的工作，比他父亲做的还要到位，他打入内部，他不是说了吗？‘我是蛆’。”
杜斌说，艾未未眼里“有人”和中共眼里“无人”的战争，是一场代表着数以亿计的中国人，与中共你死我活的战争。只要中共存在一天，这场战争永不会停歇。

“Deity Ai”: World’s First Biography About Ai Weiwei
“Deity Ai”, the world’s first biography book about Ai Weiwei
is due to be released on June 20th in Hong Kong.
The book tells the story of “an artist, a citizen, a person who
acts together with his compatriots to fight a life-or-death war against a superpower on this planet.”
It seems that all Ai Weiwei has done is to help himself and
other people to get recourse to their life dignity from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to the author.
And the book is intended to express support and tribute to
warrior Ai Weiwei, says the author.
The book “Deity Ai” was authored by Du Bin, contract
photographer of the New York Times.
In this book, Du Bin outlines how Ai Weiwei grew up.
Ai spent his childhood in herding goats while living with his
parents in exile on the countryside.
After returning to Beijing, he found his spiritual paradise in
joining the Stars Painting Society, however, negative forces were gathering;
Later, Ai quit the Beijing Film Academy and went abroad to
seek freedom.
Finding himself bored with old-fashioned school studies,
Ai began to meet with a wide variety of people and
take part in various demonstrations.
His father’s serious illness brought him back to China where
he made a living by designing buildings.
Ai participated in the design of the Bird’s Nest Stadium for
the Beijing Olympic Games.
While understanding that the CCP actually used the Olympics
Games to sugar up its dictatorship,
Ai Weiwei refused to attend the 2008 Olympics opening
ceremony and expressed his views to foreign media.
Upon realizing the power of the internet, Ai began to take
notice of social injustices in China.
These included the Yang Jia incident and
the Great Sichuan Earthquake.
Ai Weiwei’s new found status of a rights-defense leader
put the CCP on edge.
The regime, unable to stand Ai’s public impact,
found an excuse to put him in jail for 81 days.
“Deity Ai” the salutation was coined by Chinese netizens to
show their respect for Ai Weiwei.
Its implication is that “he is like a patron saint who stands up
to speak for those in need."
Du Bin raises questions: why does a widely respected artist
have to “fight for the people”?
And why does a dying regime desperately attempt to remove
and discredit him?
There is only one reason that Ai Weiwei upsets the CCP,
that is, Ai reveres human life, Du Bin concludes.
Du Bin: “The conflict between Ai Weiwei and the CCP
focuses on human life.
In other words, Ai Weiwei cares about human life,
but the CCP doesn’t."
Du Bin notes that the CCP has guns, canons, prisons, tanks,
atomic bombs, and super capabilities to destroy the world,
but never cares about human life.
Ai Weiwei has done what a human being should do;
telling the CCP: We’re human beings, not animals !
The book quotes Ai Weiwei as saying that,
“ We’re the most tired people of the whole mankind,
for we also have to prove that we’re human beings.”
As an artist, Ai Weiwei incorporates his art into the change of
Chinese society, which few artists have done, says Du Bin.
Du Bin: “His brightest quality is his fight against the power.
In very artistic, soft and skillful approaches, he has been
battling a power regime, which is his most precious quality.
The art is the fruit of human wisdom,
an unexpected approach usually for others.
But in such a smart way, he has succeeded in exerting
social influences."
What Ai Weiwei has done are all small things, which could
touch the softest place in one’s heart, says Du Bin.
Du Bin, “What touched me most is his collection of so many
victim students’ names of the Wenchuan Earthquake.
One of his works consisted of nearly 9,000 student backpacks.
It’s such an impact that every backpack was just like a child
there, but they were all gone.”
Ai Weiwei’s father Ai Qing was exiles for 20 years by the CCP
during the period, he was assigned to sweep excrement.
Du Bin comments that today, his son Ai Weiwei continues
to do the same work.
Some netizens expressed their tributes to Ai Weiwei for his
sticking to fight in China and giving up living overseas to do it.
Ai Weiwei replied, “I am a maggot". The CCP regime was
addressed as “feces regime” in Du Bin’s book “Deity Ai”.
Du Bin: “It (the CCP) is not as dirty as feces, but dirtier.
Just take a look at what happened to Ai Qing and Ai Weiwei.
Now he has done a better job than his father, infiltrating
inside it. Didn’t he say that, ‘I am a maggot’?”
Du Bin says, Ai Weiwei cares about human life,
while the CCP doesn’t.
The battle between them symbolizes a life-or-death war for
hundreds of millions of Chinese people and the CCP.
The war won’t be stopped as long as the CCP exists says
Du Bin.
