回复戈壁柳的评论:
Let me tell you more about how I felt after reading your story about C. I went to bed after posting my comment. All of a sudden, a scary thought flashed through my mind. I imagined myself in the cultural revolution time and made the comment about Mao. I would sure be shredded into pieces. I was siezed by fear, which is far less from the horror people really went through during that time. I remembered when I was young,years after 1976, my parents had the habbit of burning paper or letters. I was puzzled by their secretive behavior but now I can relate better.
I couldn't fall asleep and my thoughts went wild. Will the situation repeat itself in the US? I started to feel lucky that two parties took turns to be in power and Obama won at the critical juncture.

我刚进MIT时,因为英语差要上英语补习课。第一堂课老师就叫每个学生写一篇作文,题目是“My most emotional experience”。我就写了这一段去喀什的经历。下面是老师写的评语:
A fascinating story! I think we Americans are just beginning to understand what happened during the Caltural Revolution. There is one very good English book called "A death is Shanghai" by Nien Cheng, whose story was also frightening and terrible, but ended in happiness. Those of us who have lived in constant comfort can perhaps never understand fully.
很抱歉给你带来了这么沉重的感受。我们把自己的经历写下来,希望这样的年代再不要重现,希望年轻人生活幸福美满。现在国内情况虽然还不尽人意,还是有很大进步。
看来我把这篇贴完后,还是要贴一点轻松一些的文章。

赞同戈壁柳的看法。我们这些草民把自己的经历记录下来,其实也是书写历史。
谢谢你的建议。
你能独立思考是很好的。我写的是自己真实的经历,但能不能代表多数人的经历就不知道了。我们这一代能做的就是把自己的真实经历,真实想法留下来。希望后人能从这些民间记录中去伪存真,去粗取精,得出正确的结论。
这次事件中,我们师的有关领导是有责任的。文革后这一类糊涂账很多,不少就不了了之了。不过南疆军分区的领导在这次事件中表现还不错。如果不是军分区及时阻止,我早成革命烈士了。
谢谢鼓励,阿C后面还有故事。
另最近看新闻.海岩(作家)向三家出版社出售其作品大纲.
它们是作家出版社,群众出版社和人民文学出版社. 这三家想必还挺活跃的. 您若想投稿仅供参考
