【新唐人2013年03月02日訊】在外界揭批毛澤東醜聞惡政、要求清算毛罪惡已成潮流的今天，中共黨報《人民日報》日前卻突然整版刊登《文章大家毛澤東》一文，高調捧毛。這是否代表北京當局的風向正在左轉？一起來看看。
在過去十年中，清算毛澤東成為黨內外自由派的高度共識，非毛化、去毛化在大陸的精英界相當流行。相反，紀念毛澤東的活動一般只在民間進行，難以見諸報端，一些毛澤東的支持者甚至被拘捕。
而《人民日報》28號這篇8千多字的文章，對毛澤東大讚特讚。不僅歷數所謂毛澤東整頓文風的一系列評論，還特別強調各級官員要學習毛的文章，聲稱打天下靠槍桿子，治天下則要用筆桿子。
大陸作家鐵流：「毛澤東是共產黨鬥爭的焦點。兩派，一派就是拚命的樹毛澤東，目地就說中共的這種一黨專制體制是不能改變，不能走憲政之路，這是他們最終的復辟。另外一派就是要重新對毛澤東進行評價。這兩派的鬥爭這幾十年來一直沒有停過。」
如今，《人民日報》突然整版發表力捧毛澤東的文章，實屬罕見，這也被看作是中共第五代上臺後的新現象。
英國廣播公司(BBC)援引了澳大利亞《時代報》和《悉尼晨報》的報導說，外界對於紅二代可能促使習近平向左轉表示擔憂。
一位駐北京的澳洲記者約翰?加諾特撰文說，在毛澤東逝世後，當時還年輕的習近平曾經參加過中共高級領導人子女的學習小組，學習小組每兩週舉行一次，召集人是中共所謂黨內一枝筆的胡喬木之子胡石英。而薄熙來的弟弟薄熙成也是當時的小組成員之一。
文章說，習近平和那個學習小組的成員，也就是紅二代們，還一直保持聯繫。包括現在的中紀委書記王岐山、解放軍總後勤部政委劉源，和中國國家開發銀行黨委書記陳元等。
由於紅二代一直努力讓毛澤東在中共政治中有一席之地，因此，一些觀察家們懷疑，是否所有「紅二代」都對毛澤東有同樣的感情，特別是那些身居高位的紅二代？也有觀察表示，擔心習近平會左轉。
鐵流：「習近平他是黨魁，但作為習近平來說，我們所知道的是他主張對毛澤東進行從新評價。儘管他有時談到毛澤東，他是迫於形勢，因為這個反動派一面太強大，威脅到他的安全，所以這個問題很不奇怪。」
美國中文雜誌《北京之春》主編胡平認為，習近平和那些紅二代們都不會真正的左轉，但是他們會利用表面形勢使政權偏向他們這邊。
《北京之春》雜誌主編胡平：「我覺得他倒不會左轉，因為現在這種狀況對他們更有利。毛澤東畢竟幫他們打贏了江山，他們的權力畢竟是從那來的，所以他們要表示不去否認毛。如果他們說毛是錯的，那麼就是說現在權力也不合法，因為你也是從這來的。所以他是出於這麼一種角度，但實際上他們絕不會再去實現毛的那一套東西。」
胡平指出，包括習近平和他的前任胡錦濤所實行的，都是鄧小平提倡的所謂中國特色那一套。
胡平：「他們在這一種制度下，他們才能又掌權、又賺錢。如果都成了毛澤東那一套，他們就沒有那麼多錢可賺。他們還是不放棄（毛）那一套東西，都是為了維持一黨專制，其實目地還是這個。」
據報導，毛澤東的信奉者希望習近平在今年底毛誕辰120週年來臨時，能夠舉行大規模紀念活動，以此杜絕短期內進行政治改革的可能。
而自由派期望習近平能成為中共的蔣經國，紛紛集中研究發表台灣民主化的文章，目地就是想影響第五代領導層的執政思路。
而海外一些人士則提出，不要對仍身處中共體制下的習近平抱有幻想。

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.
