【新唐人2012年6月25日讯】前中共总书记赵紫阳由于反对武力镇压六四学运，被中共罢黜后，一直被软禁到去世为止。2004年，原中共“中央农村政策研究室”研究员姚监复曾经先后两次探访赵紫阳，从而窥视到晚年赵紫阳的内心世界。姚监复在接受本台记者采访时说，赵紫阳晚年认识到中国必须放弃一党专政，实行多党议会制度。
赵紫阳晚年对社会主义初级阶段的本质以及中国共产党执政的合法性进行了反思。赵紫阳晚年在《改革历程》的秘密录音谈话中指出：一个国家要实现现代化，不仅要实行市场经济，发展现代文明，还必须实现议会民主政治的制度。不然的话，这个国家不可能是一个真正现代的法制社会。
姚监复曾经做过赵紫阳及他的政治秘书鲍彤的智囊。他与晚年赵紫阳的最后交往，让他了解到赵紫阳内心世界的变化。他告诉记者，在生命的后期，赵紫阳已经跳出原来说的“四个坚持”，不再“坚持共产党领导”，而是站到全民族的角度去思考中国要走的道路。
2012年姚监复在香港出版了由原《人民日报》总编辑胡绩伟撰写的《胡赵新政启示录》这本书。书中，胡绩伟分析了胡耀邦和赵紫阳的思想历程。
姚监复：“ 他（胡绩伟）提出来政治体制改革必须废除一个党，一个主义、一个领袖、一个党军的法西斯独裁政治制度。这是政治体制改革的目标和最主要内容。我同意他的观点。”
姚监复指出，共产党领导人如果不敢抛弃一党专政这个思想，就难于真正改革。他说，到现在为止，胡温当局没有达到2004年赵紫阳去世以前的思想高度。
姚监复：“ 这个一党专政的制度就决定了他们必须这样做，否则制度要抛弃他。他就要维护这个制度。所以他们是悲剧制度下的悲剧性人物。”
记者：“那您是说他们是害怕失去目前的地位，因此不敢去反对这个制度是吗？”
姚监复：“他们本身是制度的产物，就像赵紫阳说的，他是我们培养的。他们也不愿意背叛这个制度，也不愿意真正的进行政治体制改革的彻底改革。”
1985年蒋经国开放党禁的时候，有人提出如果开放党禁，国民党就要下台，蒋经国的回答是：我看了古今中外的历史，没有一个党是永久执政的。中共现在同样面临“政治改革亡党，不政治改革亡国”的两难局面。
姚监复建议中共当局学习蒋经国的政治气派。遵循世界共同的政治规律，由选民进行选择，而不是自封为“万岁党”。他认为，最开始应该做的是“开放党禁、报禁”，特别是应该言论自由、思想自由。

Zhao Ziyang Advisor Talks About Zhao’s Later Years
Former CCP General Secretary Zhao Ziyang was put under
house arrest until he died after he opposed the armed suppression of June 4 students.
Yao Jianfu, former researcher of Department of Studies
of Rural Policies, visited Zhao Ziyang twice in 2004.
He got to know Zhao’s inner world in his later years.
Yao Jianfu spoke to our NTD reporter.
Zhao had realized that China had to give up one-party
dictatorship and implement a multi-party parliament.
In his later years, Zhao reflected on the nature of the
primary stage of socialism, and the legality of CCP rule.
Zhao says in the recording The Secret Journal of Zhao
Ziyang that if a nation wants to achieve modernization,
it should not only have a market economy and develop
modern civilization.
It must also have the system of parliamentary democracy.
Otherwise, that nation can’t be a real modern legal society.
Yao was an unofficial advisor to Zhao Ziyang
and Zhao’s political secretary Bao Tong.
Through the interactions with Zhao in Zhao’s later years,
Yao noticed the changes of Zhao’s inner world.
Yao told NTD that at the end of Zhao’s life,
Zhao had already abandoned his “four insistences”.
He didn’t insist on the CCP leadership anymore.
Instead, he thought about the future of China
from the perspective of society as a whole.
In 2012 in Hong Kong, Yao Jianfu published a book called
the Revelation of Hu and Zhao’s New Politic.
It was written by Hu Jiwei, former editor of People’s Daily.
Hu analyzes the thoughts of Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang.
Yao Jianfu: “He (Hu Jiwei) proposed that political reform
must remove a single party, single doctrine, single leader,
and single party military as a fascist political system.
This is the purpose of the political reform. I agree with him.”
According to Yao, if the CCP leaders don’t dare to give up
the one-party dictatorship, it’s too difficult to have real reform.
He also says Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao’s thoughts haven’t
reached the height of Zhao’s thought before he died in 2004.
Yao Jianfu: “This one-party dictatorship system
directs the leaders to act.
Otherwise, the system will abandon them.
They have to keep this system.
Therefore, they are tragic figures
under this tragic system.”
NTD Reporter: “Do you mean that they don’t dare to oppose
this system because they are afraid of losing their power?”
Yao Jianfu: “They are creatures of this system.
As Zhao Ziyang said, they are trained by us [CCP].
They neither want to betray this system, nor want
to thoroughly reform the political system.”
In 1985, when Jiang Jingguo lifted the ban on political parties,
someone said that the Nationalist Party would step down.
Jiang Jingguo’s response was: “I looked through
the history of China and other nations.
There was no party that can rule a nation forever.
The CCP is facing a dilemma.
“To undergo political reform will kill the party;
to not undergo political reform will kill the nation.”
Yao Jianfu suggests the CCP authorities learn
from Jiang Jingguo’s political manner.
They should follow the common political regulations
in the world, to give voters choices.
They should not proclaim itself as a “Forever Party”.
Yao says the first thing that should be done is
“to lift the ban on parties and media”. To give freedom of speech and thought.
