【新唐人2013年03月02日讯】在外界揭批毛泽东丑闻恶政、要求清算毛罪恶已成潮流的今天，中共党报《人民日报》日前却突然整版刊登《文章大家毛泽东》一文，高调捧毛。这是否代表北京当局的风向正在左转？一起来看看。
在过去十年中，清算毛泽东成为党内外自由派的高度共识，非毛化、去毛化在大陆的精英界相当流行。相反，纪念毛泽东的活动一般只在民间进行，难以见诸报端，一些毛泽东的支持者甚至被拘捕。
而《人民日报》28号这篇8千多字的文章，对毛泽东大赞特赞。不仅历数所谓毛泽东整顿文风的一系列评论，还特别强调各级官员要学习毛的文章，声称打天下靠枪杆子，治天下则要用笔杆子。
大陆作家铁流：“毛泽东是共产党斗争的焦点。两派，一派就是拚命的树毛泽东，目地就说中共的这种一党专制体制是不能改变，不能走宪政之路，这是他们最终的复辟。另外一派就是要重新对毛泽东进行评价。这两派的斗争这几十年来一直没有停过。”
如今，《人民日报》突然整版发表力捧毛泽东的文章，实属罕见，这也被看作是中共第五代上台后的新现象。
英国广播公司(BBC)援引了澳大利亚《时代报》和《悉尼晨报》的报导说，外界对于红二代可能促使习近平向左转表示担忧。
一位驻北京的澳洲记者约翰?加诺特撰文说，在毛泽东逝世后，当时还年轻的习近平曾经参加过中共高级领导人子女的学习小组，学习小组每两周举行一次，召集人是中共所谓党内一枝笔的胡乔木之子胡石英。而薄熙来的弟弟薄熙成也是当时的小组成员之一。
文章说，习近平和那个学习小组的成员，也就是红二代们，还一直保持联系。包括现在的中纪委书记王岐山、解放军总后勤部政委刘源，和中国国家开发银行党委书记陈元等。
由于红二代一直努力让毛泽东在中共政治中有一席之地，因此，一些观察家们怀疑，是否所有“红二代”都对毛泽东有同样的感情，特别是那些身居高位的红二代？也有观察表示，担心习近平会左转。
铁流：“习近平他是党魁，但作为习近平来说，我们所知道的是他主张对毛泽东进行从新评价。尽管他有时谈到毛泽东，他是迫于形势，因为这个反动派一面太强大，威胁到他的安全，所以这个问题很不奇怪。”
美国中文杂志《北京之春》主编胡平认为，习近平和那些红二代们都不会真正的左转，但是他们会利用表面形势使政权偏向他们这边。
《北京之春》杂志主编胡平：“我觉得他倒不会左转，因为现在这种状况对他们更有利。毛泽东毕竟帮他们打赢了江山，他们的权力毕竟是从那来的，所以他们要表示不去否认毛。如果他们说毛是错的，那么就是说现在权力也不合法，因为你也是从这来的。所以他是出于这么一种角度，但实际上他们绝不会再去实现毛的那一套东西。”
胡平指出，包括习近平和他的前任胡锦涛所实行的，都是邓小平提倡的所谓中国特色那一套。
胡平：“他们在这一种制度下，他们才能又掌权、又赚钱。如果都成了毛泽东那一套，他们就没有那么多钱可赚。他们还是不放弃（毛）那一套东西，都是为了维持一党专制，其实目地还是这个。”
据报导，毛泽东的信奉者希望习近平在今年底毛诞辰120周年来临时，能够举行大规模纪念活动，以此杜绝短期内进行政治改革的可能。
而自由派期望习近平能成为中共的蒋经国，纷纷集中研究发表台湾民主化的文章，目地就是想影响第五代领导层的执政思路。
而海外一些人士则提出，不要对仍身处中共体制下的习近平抱有幻想。

Is Beijing Blowing Leftist Wind?
CCP Newspaper Rarely Pursued Mao
Now the outside world is criticizing Mao Zedong’s
“scandalous and evil rule”.
Today’strend is to liquidate Mao’sevil.
But a few days ago, the Chinese Communist Party’s
newspaper, the People’sDaily suddenly published a whole page article.
This article was titled “A Big Writer Mao Zedong”
to sing highly of Mao.
Does this action show that the Beijing government
is turning leftist? Let’ssee the report!
In the past ten years, it’sthe consensus inside
and outside the party for liquidating Maoism.
“Non-Maoism”, and “getting rid of Maoism”
is very popular in China’selite social circles.
In contrast, the memorizing of Mao’sarticles
still goes on in civil life, and is rarely reported by the media.
Some Maoists have even been arrested.
However, the People’s Daily published an 8,000-word article
on February 28 to sing highly of Mao Zedong.
In the article, the writer listed a series of Mao’scomments,
and even emphasized that officials at all levels
should learn Mao’sarticles.
The famous slogan was mentioned: “to conquer the world
you need a gun, to rule the world you need a pen”.
Tie Liu, a Chinese writer: “Mao Zedong is the focus of
the CCP’sinternal struggle. There are two factions.
One faction is trying to build up a good image of Mao.
They want to show that the CCP’sone-party dictatorship
can’t be changed, that China can’t take the constitutional road.
This is the restoration dream of the Maoists.
Another faction wants to re-evaluate Mao Zedong.
These two factions have struggled against each other
for more than ten years.”
Today, People’s Daily suddenly published a full-page article
to sing highly of Mao which is very rare, and was treated as a new phenomenon.
This is after the 5th generation CCP leaders
took power.
The BBC has quoted Australia’sThe Age,
and the Sydney Morning Herald, as saying that
the world is worried that Xi Jinping, as one of the
“second red generation” may turn leftist.
John Garnaut, an Australian journalist, based in Beijing,
reported that after Mao died, the young Xi Jinping joined a study group of senior leaders’ children.
The study group has activity once every two weeks.
The convener is Hu Shiying, the son of Hu Qiaomu,
the so-called “first pen of the CCP”.
Bo Xicheng, who is the young brother of Bo Xilai,
was a member of the group as well.
The article said Xi Jinping has kept in contact with the
group members, “the second red generation” over the years.
The group includes the current secretary of the Central
Commission for Discipline Inspection Wang Qishan.
It also includes the political commissar of the PLA
General Logistics Department Liu Yuan,
and the party secretary of the
China Development Bank and so on.
Because the second red generation has been trying to
leave a space for Mao in the CCP’spolitics,
many observers have wondered whether all of the second
red generation have the same feelings on Mao Zedong?
This is especially worrying in the case of
those in high positions.
Some observers are very worried about Xi Jinping
turning left.
Tie Liu: “Xi Jinping is the party leader. As we know,
all along he has advocated the re-evaluation of Mao.
Although he talked about Mao sometimes, he was
pushed by the situation of the opposite faction being too strong and threatening his safety.
So the possibility of his turning left
should not be entirely unexpected.”
Hu Ping, chief editor of the U.S. Chinese magazine
“Beijing Spring” thought Xi Jinping and those second red generation won’t really turn left,
but may use the surface situation
to win the regime over to their side.
Hu Ping, chief editor of Beijing Spring: “I don’t think
he will turn left, because this present political situation is more favorable for his team.
Mao Zedong conquered the country for them, and their
power is from there. So they won’t say they deny Mao.
If they say Mao was wrong, then their power is illegal
because it’sfrom him. So, this is his viewpoint,
and neither will they follow Mao’ssolution.”
Hu Ping pointed out that what Xi Jinping and his predecessor
Hu Jintao followed is Deng Xiaoping’sso-called “Chinese characteristics” socialism.
Hu Ping: “Under this kind of system, they can hold on
to power and make money.
If they use Mao’ssystem, they can’t make that much money.
They still won’t give up on Mao’sthings.
The purpose is to maintain the one-party dictatorship.
This is really the aim.”
It’sreported that Mao’sfollowers hope Xi Jinping can
organize a large-scale memorial for the coming 120th birth anniversary of Mao at end of this year.
In this way they will be able to eliminate the
political reform possibility in the short term.
The liberals hope Xi Jinping can be “CCP’sJiang Jingguo”.
They have concentrated on studying the democratization of
Taiwan, and have published articles continually.
Their aim is to impact the ideological rule of
the 5th generation of leadership.
At the same time, some oversea s Chinese advise that
people should not have illusions about Xi Jinping
who is controlled by the CCP system.
