【新唐人2013年12月18日訊】圍繞上世紀60年代初的中國「大饑荒」，市面上已經出版了許多相關的書籍。已知四川省是「大饑荒」餓死人數最多的省分，約1200萬人。其中滎經縣又是四川之冠，9萬人中約有5萬人餓死！當時人吃人、吃屍體的現象非常普遍，完全是一個人間地獄。這樣嚴重的事件，中共當局至今沒有一個交代。
大陸博客作家石豐綱，在四川省滎經縣大饑荒的調查採訪過程中，陸續揭發了讓人心驚肉跳的死亡數據。
最近，他在《參與》新聞網站中發表文章，講述他在走訪四川雅安市天全縣始陽鎮，與68歲的胡慶生老人談話過程，胡慶生本人回憶了當時中國大饑荒所發生的種種慘不忍睹的事實。
胡慶生描述，成立「人民公社」時他14歲，完全懂事了。當時他家屬於「始陽人民公社勞動管理區第六食堂」。開始時食堂還有糧吃，59年下半年之後，食堂裏吃的東西越來越少，餓死的人太多了。
他印象最深的是61年下半年，鄰居把他愛人殺死了，然後他在船上喊：「永別了！」一頭栽到水裡淹死了。
胡慶生表示，當時，雅安地區的重災區並非天全縣，而是滎經縣和蘆山縣。其中滎經縣又是四川之冠，9萬人中約有5萬人餓死。胡慶生說，根據調查事實，可以駁斥那些新、老極左人士所謂「全川沒有餓死一個人，全國死亡不足100萬人」的謬論。
胡慶生認為，隨著歲月流逝，「三年大饑荒」離我們越來越遠。倖存者們有的作古，有的高齡，又因種種原因而少有著述，因此社會對事件的記憶愈來愈淡漠。然而，「前事不忘，後世之師」，作為事件的親歷者和倖存者，他有責任把所經歷的苦難如實的記錄下來並告訴後人。
於是，他收集了那三年管理區死者的姓名，統計出了「天全縣始陽人民公社勞動管理區第六食堂」，也就是現在始陽鎮興中村5、6、7三個村民組的死亡人員名單。
大陸作家、「老右派」鐵流，在接受《新唐人》採訪時表示，中國大饑荒期間，他人在勞教所。
中國作家鐵流：「當時一個縣大概餓死了一半人，留下的大概是50%，0152當時我在勞教，沙田(音)農場吧，我的體重下降到，我原來的體重大約是120多斤吧，下降到8、90來斤，餓死人時 ，開始時還是一個人一個坑，最後沒有坑，就挖了一個大坑，十幾個人葬在一起，我有一個朋友在那裏埋死人，他一天埋十幾個，被餓死的，都有的。」
荷蘭歷史學者、香港大學歷史系教授馮克出版的《毛澤東的大饑荒：1958∼1962年的中國浩劫史》，揭示了在毛澤東的指令下，共有4500萬人在這場饑荒中死亡。這部巨著使他成為了2011年「英國廣播公司」「撒母耳．詹森獎」文學組別的得主。
緊接著，他的助手，70年代出生在四川的周遜，也出版了另一本英文專著《中國大饑荒，1958∼1962》（The Great Famine in China,1958-1962），由《耶魯大學出版社》出版，書中公布了她從96年到2000年期間，在數十個省級和縣級的檔案館所蒐集到的多份真實史料，包括人吃人慘案的真實案例。
但中國的「大饑荒」至今仍然是中共的禁區。目前無論是官方的沉默或者掩蓋，甚至民間，都不願意重提這段歷史，很多家中曾經發生餓死人或人吃人的家庭，也普遍選擇沉默。
然而周遜認為，「為甚麼全世界都知道猶太大屠殺，沒有幾個人知道中國的大饑荒？我覺得作為一個搞歷史的人，這是非常重要，是我的一個職責，讓全世界都知道當時中國發生了甚麼事。」
雖然中共當局不願承認「三年大饑荒」餓死多少萬萬的人民，但胡慶生這一份死亡名單告訴我們，他們確實曾經來過這個世界，又無聲無息的死去。希望當代的中國人都能誠實、勇敢的面對歷史，並願死者安息！

A Death List: China’s Three Year Great Famine
Many books about China’s Great Famine of the 1960s
have been published.
Sichuan has reportedly ranked the province
with the most fatalities.
12 million people died in the Great Famine.
In Xingjing County, 50,000 out of a population of 90,000
died of starvation.
At the time, people ate people.
Cannibalism was a common phenomenon.
It was like a hell in the human world.
However, such a serious incident in China’s history has never
been reported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
China-based blog writer Shi Fenggang has done research
in Xingjing County about the Great Famine.
Shi gradually revealed the shocking death figures.
Recently, Shi published articles on canyu.org
about a conversation with a 68-year-old Hu Qingsheng
in Shiyang Township, Tianquan County, Ya’an City.
Hu recalled appalling facts about the Great Famine.
Hu said that he was 14 years old and completely mature
when the “people’s commune” launched.
His family belonged to the “Sixth Canteen of Shiyang
Commune Labor Management District.”
At the beginning, there was food in the Canteen.
In late 1959, the food diminished more and more
and many people starved to death.
What left the deepest impression on him was when,
in late 1961 his neighbor killed his spouse and ate her.
Then on a boat his neighbor shouted, “Good-bye forever!”
and plunged into the river, drowning himself to death.
Hu says, at the time, the most severe area was not in Tianquan
County, but in Xingjing County and Lushan County.
Xingjing County was the worst.
50,000 out of a population of 90,000 died of starvation.
Hu says that according to his investigation,
he can refute the propaganda which says, “No people died
of starvation in Sichuan, and less than 1 million people died
in the entire country.”
Hu believes that, with the passage of time memories
of the three year Great Famine recede into the distance.
Some of the survivors have passed away, some were aging
but rarely did any publicize the facts.
Thus society gradually forgot the incident.
However, as witness and survivor, he takes responsibility
to tell young generations about his experiences of hardship.
Hu collected names of the deceased in the Sixth Canteen
during the three year Great Famine.
The list is a collection of names from the fifth, sixth
and seventh villages in Shiyang Township.
Tie Liu, China-based writer and a “Senior rightist” told NTD
that he was held in a labor camp during the Great Famine.
Tie Liu: “At that time, half the population
in the whole county died.
50% of people survived.
I was in a labor camp at Shatian farm.
My weight went from 60 kilograms to 40-45 kilograms.
In the beginning, one corpse had one designated hole
to be buried in.
Later, a dozen people were buried in one hole.
A friend of mine’s job was to bury corpses,
and he buried a dozen people a day.
Some people died of starvation,
it was a common phenomenon.”
Frank Dikotter, a Dutch historian and professor
at the University of Hong Kong published a book entitled,
“Mao’s Great Famine: The History of China’s Most
Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962.”
The book reveals that 45 million Chinese people died
during the famine years caused by Mao Zedong.
The book won the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2012
Soon, his assistant Zhou Xun, who was born in the 1970s
in Sichuan, wrote another book “The Great Famine in China,
1958-1962.”
The book was published by Yale University Press.
During Zhous research between 1996 and 2000,
he collected real data from tens of provincial-level
and county-level archive museums.
The data includes the cannibalism tragedy.
The great Chinese famine is still taboo amongst the CCP.
At present, officials are silent or even attempt to cover it up,
and even civilians are reluctant to mention this history.
Many families choose to remain silent although
their members died in the great famine.
Zhou Xun wonders, “Why do the world’s people know about
the Holocaust, but few people know about the great famine?
Being a historian, it is my duty, it is very important
to let people in the world know what happened in China.”
Although the CCP doesn’t want to admit how many millions
of people starved to death during the three year great famine,
Hu Qingsheng’s list told us that those people really
had been here in this world, but they died quietly.
Hu hopes the modern Chinese people can be honest
and bravely face history.
He hopes the victims can rest in peace.
