【新唐人2014年02月11日讯】世界卫生组织(WHO)日前发布的研究报告表明,中国的癌症在2012年的发病个案中,几乎占了全球一半,高居世界第一位。研究人士指出,癌症在中国所谓改革开放后大量出现,特别是以牺牲环境换来的“癌症村”已经高达200多个,而到目前为此,真正在潜心治理的却是民间组织。
“淮河卫士”发起人霍岱珊,是河南周口市沈丘县人。2003年,霍岱珊注册成立了“淮河水系生态环境科学研究中心”,他希望通过更多环保志愿者的参与,来治理淮河污染。日前,《德国之声》播出了霍岱珊的记录片。
原为摄影记者的霍岱珊,1998年辞去公职后,通过公民调查方式,首次向公众披露了大型企业“莲花味精厂”、及淮河流域诸多的造纸企业污染水系,造成淮河岸边出现数十个癌症村等相关内幕,随后,霍岱珊受到中共当局的多次打压和警告。
霍岱珊的两个儿子也辞去大城市的工作,加入环保志愿者“淮河卫士”的行列。霍敏浩是霍岱珊的小儿子,原来是广东一家玩具工厂小有名气的设计师。
霍敏浩:“我们成立的是民间环保组织,肯定不在体制内就没有政府的资金给我们,我们跟基金会合作一些项目,那是在最近几年才开始,在之前我们确实都是拿自己的积蓄来做环保,我们打点零工,做点小生意维持生活,大部分积蓄都拿来做环保。”
霍岱珊家里摆放着一个很大的水族箱,养了几十条从淮河水域带回的畸形鱼,这些“畸形鱼”和标本,见证着淮河的污染。
“淮河卫士”环保志愿者霍敏浩:“很久以前我们就发现河里的这些鱼骨胳畸形,发育的不完整,鳞片大大小小,有的缺对眼睛,大部分是脊柱弯曲和鱼骨头弯曲,所以我们就开始收集这些,活的我们有,死掉的我们冷冻起来了,现在有大半冰箱,还不是刻意收集的,渔民打到这种鱼之后不好卖,有时候这条鱼卖不掉,他就会打电话给我们。”
上世纪90年代初期,从部队转业的霍岱珊发现,沙颍河面上经常漂着成片的死鱼。霍岱珊走访了淮河两岸的民众后,发现所谓的“淮河治污工程”全是弄虚作假。
霍岱珊拍下孩子们为了抵御臭气的侵袭,戴着口罩上课,以及,大片死鱼等照片,逐级反映,但多遭到嘲讽和白眼。而村中患癌的人数与日俱增。
霍敏浩:“长期饮用不安全、不健康的水,肯定会导致疾病的发生,这些在我们当地用现实验证了这一点,就是很多的癌症村,浅层地下水受污染的村庄他们的癌症发病率非常高,每年都死几十个人,主要表现在消化系统。 ”
据不完全统计,截至去年春天,中国大陆“癌症村”超过200个,遍布中国,涵盖了27个省份。而世界卫生组织(WHO),在今年2月4号“世界癌症日”发表的《世界癌症报告》中说,2012年,全球癌症新病例有一半发生在亚洲,其中大部分发生在中国大陆。
据了解,广东翁源县上坝村3000多人,有250名死于各种癌症。而网络热传的“中国癌症村地图”,“癌症村”主要集中在中国的中东部,靠近城市的经济发达地区,特别是水源污染地区。去年12月,中共国土资源部发布消息,中国约有5000万亩土地因污染严重无法耕种。
大陆“乐水行”项目发起人张峻峰,研究癌症多年。
大陆“乐水行”发起人张峻峰:“癌症这个问题,环境的物质变化,是一种诱因,而且这种诱因在最近的30年、40年左右,增长的速度是比较快的。最近的10到20年之内,农村的发病率非常高,工业污染、工厂造成水污染的情况之下,所带来的各种不同的癌症也非常的多。”
张峻峰说,目前生物界和医学界,对癌症的研究还具有局限性,应该从更宽的视角,来认识癌症产生的原因和治愈措施。

Half of World’s New Cancer Cases occur in China.
World Health Organization (WHO) recently released a report,
revealing all new cancer cases in China,
account for half the cases around the world.
China has the highest number of new cancer cases in the world.
Researchers point out, there have been more cancer cases
in China since implementing the policy of
reform and opening up.
In particular there are more than 200 “cancer villages"
in China, which ensues from destroying
the once healthy environment.
However, currently only non-governmental organizations (NGO’s)
are dedicated to the treatment of local environments
of these cancer villages.
“Huai River Guardians" founder Huo Daishan is from Shenqiu
County of Zhoukou City, Henan Province.
In 2003, Huo Daishan established the “Ecological Environment
Science Research Centre for Water System of Huai River".
He aims to attract more environment protection volunteers’
involvement in treating the pollution in Huai River.
Recently, Deutsche Welle (DW) showed a documentary
about Huo Daishan’s story.
Huo Daishan was a photographer. In 1998 he resigned from
his position. Through citizen survey he managed
to disclose the situation to the public.
Large-scale enterprises such as “Lotus Flower Gourmet
Powder Factory”, and numerous paper-making
enterprises located in Huai River watershed,
have been allegedly responsible for polluting the water
system, hence producing a dozen or so cancer
villages along the Huai River.
After disclose of information, Huo Daishan has experienced
first hand warnings and much oppression.
Two sons of Huo Daishan also resigned from their jobs in big
cities, becoming environmental protection
volunteers as “Huai River Guardians".
Huo Minhao is theyoungest of his sons who was a famous designer
in a local toy plant of Guangdong Province.
Huo Minhao: “We established an NGO (non governmental
organization), which has no connection to any
level of government, thus receives no official funds.
We’ve cooperate only with certain foundations in some projects
during these recent years.
Prior to this, we actually took out our own savings to fund
all our activities.
Occasionally we worked or set up small businesses
helping us to support & fund the NGO. It took most
of our own savings to run it."
There is a large aquatic box in Huai River, which contains
many deformed fish whose condition was
created due to pollution.
Huo Minhao: “We’ve found some fish types in the river
having a cacoplastic ( deformed )skeleton with
dysplasia quite a long time ago.
Some have fish scales without uniform size, some are without
eyes, some have one or two eyes,
most of them have deformed spines and skeletons.
So we started to collect them. Some are still alive. But many
have died due to abnormalities, these fish
occupy most of the space in our fridge.
This is not from any type of intentional collection.
This is mainly from local fishermen who have caught
such fish, yet could not sell them and then rang us."
In the early 1990s, Huo Daishan had just ended his military
service and started a new civil job.
He frequently found many dead fish floating in Shaying River.
Huo Daishan visited the local people living in Huai River areas
and discovered, the so-called “Huai River Pollution
Treatment Project" was a total fake.
Huo Daishan took photos of children with masks on
in the classroom for resisting the bad odor due to
large amounts of dead fish.
He then appealed to different levels of the government,
but most of the time he received ironic and contemptuous looks.
On the other hand, the people suffering from cancer
in the villages dramatically increased.
Huo Minhao: “To drink dirty and unhealthy water
undoubtedly leads to diseases, which have been confirmed
by local realistic experiments.
In many cancer villages with polluted
shallow-layer underground water,
the cancer incidences rose very high
with several tens ofdeath cases,
mainly due to the cancers
related to the digestive system."
In terms of an incomplete statistic, until Spring of last year’s ,
there are more than 200 cancer villages in 27 provinces
across Mainland China.
According to the World Cancer Report published by WHO
in the World Cancer Day on Feb. 4, 2013,
half of new cancer cases in the world are from Asia,
and most of them are from Mainland China.
It is reported that among 3,000 people of Shangba Village of
Wengyuan County of Guangdong Province,
250 villagers have died from a variety of cancers.
The hotly hit “China’s Cancer Village Map" on the Internet,
illustrates cancer villages are mainly distributed
in the middle and eastern land of China,
closely connected to developed cities,
especially the regions with the most polluted water sources.
Last December, the Chinese Authorities’
Land Resource Ministry,
published news that around 5000 mu of land is impossible
to cultivate due to serious pollution.
Mainland “Walk, Water, Wonderful" project sponsor
Zhang Junfeng, researched cancers for many years.
Zhang Junfeng: “The actual physical change occurring in our
local environment, is one key factor to the causes of cancer.
Such a hugefactor & trigger, has experienced a fast
development during these past three to four
decades in China.
In the last ten or twenty years,
the cancer incidences in rural areas is very high.
Given the circumstances of industrial pollution
and water pollution,
a variety of cancer cases can be seen."
Zhang Junfeng says, Currently the biology field and
the medical field, all have limitations on cancer
study and research.
They are expected to realize the causes of cancers
and the corresponding curing measures
from a much wider perspective.
