【新唐人2013年06月18日讯】广州市6座正在发掘的先秦古墓一夜之间被毁，有70年左右历史的金陵台、和妙高台等民国的建筑，一夜之间被夷为残垣断壁。在大陆，这样令人痛心的毁坏文物事件仍然在不断发生。经历文革浩劫的文物，正在经历强拆的浩劫。
夜晚黑暗而静谧，当梦神掩上大多数人的眼睛时，却也有些人趁着黑暗，偷偷摸摸的干着为人所耻的勾当。6月14号，就是这样的一个夜晚，广州市萝岗区来峰岗遗址，正在开发的6座先秦古墓，一夜之间变成了一片黄土。
被毁坏的6座古墓，是从商代晚期至春秋战国时期的墓葬，考古人员正在进行挖掘。不过，同时，这里也在建设地铁6号线，由中铁二局承建。
中铁二局官员解释说，这次现场的破坏是因为没有明显的标示，施工工人不清楚是个误会。
但是，在考古发掘现场工作的钟先生对媒体形容，被挖掉的都是考古人员用红线围起来的范围，还树有文物考古勘探发掘区的黄色警示牌。同时，没有发掘完的墓葬被大幅塑料布遮住，目标非常明显，不可能看不见。更可疑的是，他们的考古工具还特意被人移动到了一旁。
考古学家分析，估计今年6月之前，这一片工地至少已经破坏了十多座古墓，破坏的文物数量无法估计。
很显然，14号的那个晚上并不是一个偶然的夜晚。同样是广州市，再来看看发生在6月10号深夜的一幕。
在广州越秀区观绿路和诗书路交界处附近的居民，被轰鸣和震动惊醒。声音来自诗书路69号之一的民国建筑，持续了好几个小时。早上起来居民们吃惊的发现，曾经引起社会广泛关注的金陵台和妙高台，被铲成了一片断瓦残垣，附近居民形容简直和日本鬼子轰炸过一样！
被拆毁的两栋民国建筑建于上世纪40年代，其中妙高台曾是粤剧泰斗薛觉先的故居，专家评估具有历史价值，应予以保留，因此在去年获得了缓拆令。但是，最终还是没能逃脱被开发商强拆的命运，引发了广州民众的怒火。
网友“古粤秀色”在微博上说，“专家论证已有价值，都被拆除，简直是广州文保史上的耻辱，无法接受。让热爱广州、对广州文保给予希望的我们非常失望！默哀！”
还有网友指出，保护历史建筑的法规一直不完善，开发商即使被追究也只是罚款了事，开发商将罚款当成本。更有广州市民质疑，开发商为什么敢无视缓拆令强行开工？背后是否有官商勾结？
事件引发社会广泛关注后，大陆和香港媒体的报导形成有趣的对比。
《中新网》等大陆媒体报导，官方称金陵台、妙高台被拆属‘开发商私拆’行为，将责任归咎于开发商，对开发商的背景却只字不提。
但香港《东方日报》等媒体报导，强拆金陵台、妙高台的开发商公司法定代表人，是香港旅游发展局主席林建岳，他也是全国政协委员。
香港媒体批评说，中国五千年文明，经历十年文革浩劫，本来已被破坏得七零八落，如今文物也遭强拆，五千年文明逐渐消亡，经济发展空有躯壳，没有灵魂。
大陆网络作家荆楚﹕“共产党讲保护文物，其实就是一种民族主义。来吸引国人的眼球，来愚弄人民而已。它所说的保护文物是假，应该有它意识形态、奴役、控制人民，才是它真实的目地。”
这样的夜晚不仅仅发生在广州，也不仅仅局限于6月。目前，大陆仍然没有任何法令和措施，保护文革中幸存下来的文物，能逃过新一轮“强拆”的浩劫。

Guangzhou city’s ancient cultural relics again meet with calamity
Six pre-Qin dynasty tombs that were being excavated
in Guangzhou were destroyed overnight.
The Jinling Platform and Miaogao Platform built
over 70 years ago have also been razed to ruins overnight.
In mainland China, destruction of cultural relics
as such continue to occur.
Cultural relics that survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution
are experiencing the demolition calamity.
In the dark of the night, while most people are dreaming,
some people take advantage of dark nights to commit crimes.
On the night of June 14, six pre-Qin dynasty tombs that
were being excavated at Laifenggang in Luogang District,
Guangzhou City, turned into ruins overnight.
The six tombs were from the late Shang Dynasty
to the Spring and Autumn Period.
Archaeologists were in the process of digging.
Yet, the site is also on the route of metro line 6, a construction
project by the China Railway No. 2 Engineering Group.
China Railway No. 2 Engineering Group (CREGC) officials
say that the demolition was due to a lack of signs
clearly marking the site, and that construction workers didn’t
know about the relics, and it was a misunderstanding.
However, Mr. Zhong who was working at the excavation site
told the media that the places ruined were fenced with red tape.
There were also yellow warning signs. In addition, large
pieces of plastic sheets were covering the unfinished sites.
The site was marked very clearly; impossible to miss.
More suspiciously, archaeological tools were moved to the side.
Archaeologists analyzed that over a dozen tombs were
damaged this year, a loss of invaluable cultural heritage.
Obviously, what happened on June 14 was not a coincidence.
Just look at what occurred in the night of June 10th,
also in Guangzhou City
Residents close to the Guangui Rd. and Shishu Rd.
intersection were shocked awake by roaring noise.
The noise came from 69 Shishu Road, where an old
building was located, and lasted several hours.
In the morning, residents were surprised to see
the once well-known Jinling Platform and Miaogao Platform
shoveled into ruins.
Nearby residents described the scene as similar to
how things looked when China was bombed by the Japanese.
The buildings were built in the ’40s,
when the nationalist part ruled.
Miaogao Platform was home to Yue Opera star Mr. Xue Jue.
Experts assessed it as valuable and needing to be preserved.
A demolition order for it was put on hold last year.
Ultimately, however, it could not escape demolition.
This sparked public anger in Guangzhou.
One Netizen posted on Weibo, China’s social media:
‘Experts have confirmed its value, yet it was still demolished.
It’s simply a shame for Guangzhou’s history.
It cannot be accepted.
We, who love Guangzhou and have high hope for
Guangzhou’s cultural preservation, are deeply disappointed!’
Other netizens say the regulations to protect
historic buildings have always been imperfect.
Even though developers are investigated, they are only fined.
Developers just treat it as production cost.
Some Guangzhou residents questioned why developers
dared to defy the order to put the demolitions on hold,
and whether there was collusion with officials?
After the incident triggered widespread concern,
Chinese and Hong Kong media have had very different reports.
China News Service and other Chinese media reported that
“the authorities claimed that Jinling and Miaogao platforms
were subjected to the Developers private demolition.”
They shift the responsibility to developers,
but didn’t mention their background.
However, Hong Kong’s Oriental Daily and other media say
the developer’s legal representative was Chairman Peter Lam
of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, who is also a member of
the National Committee of
the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Hong Kong media said that China’s 5000 years of civilization
has already been smashed to pieces after the Cultural Revolution.
Now cultural relics are also being ‘demolished.’
The 5000 year old civilization is gradually withering.
China now has built up its economy unreal illusion,
but it has totally lost its soul.
Mainland Chinese internet writer Jing Chu:
“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) protects heritage
to attract people’s attention.
It uses the form of nationalism to fool people.
It’s claiming to protect cultural heritage is false.
Its real goal is to control people with its ideology.”
Such things have happened not only in Guangzhou,
and isn’t an occurrence limited to the past six months.
Currently China still has no measures in place to protect
the cultural relics which survived the Cultural Revolution.
In these circumstances, such destructions will likely continue.
