As debate in the externally-based opposition press and Libya\'s small indigenous elite swirls around proposed wealth distribution, government re-structuring, possible adoption of a constitution and the ostensible withdrawal from politics by presumed heir-apparent Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi, ordinary Libyans have largely eschewed politics and remained primarily focused on improving their daily standard of living. Khaled Nayyed (strictly protect), son of a prominent businessman and a successful importer of furniture in his own right, recently told P/E Chief that ordinary Libyans had been frustrated by years of sanctions-imposed privations and, more recently, by the disparity between increased availability of consumer goods and their stagnant salaries. Exhausted by years of largely failed political adventurism under the auspices of Muammar al-Qadhafi\'s al-Fateh Revolution and the Jamahiriya (state of the masses), most Libyans do not really care about politics or political reform. \"Do not give us free speech, parties, a constitution or elections - give us the ability to make and freely spend money\", he said.

朝鲜:一个充满欺骗的国家!!!(转自网易论坛) 来源: 刘小少的日志

      我们这代人也从中学时的课本上就知道:朝鲜是一个真正的、欣欣向荣的社会主义国家,农业实现集体化、水利化;医疗、教育、住房都是免费的,全由国家负担。中国改革开放后,国人可以跨出国门去朝鲜旅游了。然而,我周围去过的人回来后,对朝鲜却是截然不同的描绘。这使我产生了极大的怀疑,一直以千里马精神著称的朝鲜劳动党,在他们伟大领袖金日成、金正日父子“英明”的领导下,究竟把国家建设得如何?人民的生活又怎样?我很想亲眼去看看。
      在朋友的帮助下,我通过沈阳海外联络部去了朝鲜。和我同行的有:沈阳外事局一位官员的太太和她在厦门大学读书的儿子小唐;带着老爱人和秘书的某省城已退休的张市长;再有一对是朝鲜族退休的高级知识份子。这是一对有趣的夫妻,男的姓韩原是吉林某医院中医主任,曾是汉城人,韩战时逃难到中国;女的姓金是妇科主任,原是朝鲜人,1964年因饥荒逃到中国延边,兄妹六个,除了带她一起逃出的二哥外,其他亲属都还在朝鲜。金医生是我们这次朝鲜之行的真实的导游和真相揭密者,因为她在二十一岁前一直生活在朝鲜,以后也一直与亲属有联系,所以对那里情况可谓知根知底。


      社会主义的航空之旅


      第一次乘朝鲜高丽航空公司的客机,真不敢恭维--一架破旧的高丽js155.刚上机坐下,美丽的空姐就发给每人一把纸扇子,开始还以为是纪念品,但看看不像,因为做工太粗糙。不久,我发觉大家拚命在扇风,原来飞机上的空调坏了没冷气。这几年,我少说也乘了三十多个国家航空公司的上百次飞机,第一次遭遇到发扇子这样的怪事。飞机上没有电视,一切设施如座位、地毯、墙纸、厕所等,都是陈旧的淘汰货。最令人担心的是头顶上的行李箱,没有门,敞开着,万一飞机在高空遇到气流颠簸怎么办?就连座位上的安全带也是旧得根本收不紧,等于虚设。飞机起动时麦克风里传来中朝两国语言: “敬祝我们伟大领袖金正日父亲万寿无疆!”
      颤抖的飞机升空后,空姐端来四种饮料--咖啡、雪碧、啤酒、矿泉水,我们的航班是十一点半起飞却不提供午餐。出国前沈阳海外旅行社有关领导不断叮嘱我们:“不准带手机、不准带一切出版物;到朝鲜不要乱拍照、听他们指挥;那里食品缺乏,最好多带一些吃的。”当时大家都在沈阳机场寄存手机,购买食品。作为手机大国的中国人现在还真离不开它,大家也都不能理解北朝鲜为什么严禁带手机。究竟是什么原因?是国家安全问题还是封锁隔离的需要?或者是根本没有这种购买力?后来,听导游说:“朝鲜没有人用手机,包括有权有势的人”。一些中国丹东市做朝鲜外贸生意的商人把手机带进朝鲜,在靠近中国边界的新义州做边贸时偷偷摸摸地用,但用时总要躲藏在无人发觉的地方。因为我腿不便,食品也带不动,结果在飞机上看到人家都在吃带来的食品,真有点后悔,只好饿着肚子硬挺,旁边的金医生一定要我吃她带的食品。好在时间短,我翻着飞机上二本中文朝鲜画报消磨时光。画报内容全是歌颂金日成父子俩人的丰功伟绩,我看了一篇又一篇文章:“在金正日主席的怀抱里生活幸福无边”、“打败美帝国主义五十三周年成立大会”、“伟大领袖金正日的主体思想是必胜的宝剑”、“庆祝发射第一颗人造卫星‘光明星’一号成功”、“金正日送给寿星朴金玉一百岁的寿宴,老人激动地说:”遇到好世道,我能活到一百岁,享这么大的福 ‘“、”6月25日反美斗争日(1950年)平壤十万人誓师大会“……。我感觉还没有踏入朝鲜,时光已经倒转,仿佛又回到了四十年前自己曾走过的那个愚昧封闭的年代。
 
      “在伟大领袖金正日领导下我们平安到达平壤!”
 
      飞机进入朝鲜国土,我们向窗外张望,下面都是群山,绿茵茵一片,可是山上树木不茂盛,田地很少,农庄房屋也很少。飞机降落时,在触跑道的瞬间颤抖得很厉害,肯定是跑道不平整。大家紧紧抱着摇晃的座位惊慌未定时,耳朵边已传来麦克风的声音:“在伟大领袖金正日领导下我们已平安到达平壤!”
      我第一次看到如此简陋的机场:起飞降落都是在同一条跑道上,地面到处有修补的痕迹,跑道两旁几乎没有安全先进的设施,只有高低不平的玉米地。整个机场停了不超过五架小型飞机,候机厅也小得可怜,规模还不及中国一个大城市里的长途汽车站。下机后大家总算松了口气,排队进入安检。在这里,我发觉工作人员、警察几乎与乘客一样多,除了中国人,很少有其他外国人。这时一个奇特现象出现在我的眼前:所有朝鲜人胸前都佩戴了一个精致的金正日头像,就像四十年前文革中所有中国人都带毛泽东像章一样。安检很严,我的一根伸缩手杖就被安检人员研究了半天,结果被拉坏他也不道歉。大学生小唐不识相地在厅内拍照,照相机当场就被警察收走,幸亏老韩用朝鲜话不断解释才算脱险。
      出口处有一群接机人,不知什么原因没有一个举着牌子,害得大家像无头苍蝇团团转,一个个问过去,好不容易才找到接我们的朝方人员。在他们带领下,我们坐上一辆旧的十二人面包车。接我们八人的除了司机还有二个朝方工作人员,导游姓徐,另一位姓蒋,据说是派来负责安全的,实际是国安局人员。我是蒋同志帮忙拿行李先上车的,互相介绍后我唐突地问他:“你是否国安局的?”他脸色非常尴尬,支吾着说:“对友谊的中国人不会派。” 老韩拿着摄像机在机场门口摄影被蒋同志严肃叫回来,开车前,蒋同志宣布我们要注意的事项:必须交出护照、回程机票,由他们统一保管;不准议论有损朝鲜的政治性语言;不准擅自离队个人活动;不准随便拍照、更不允许拍不友好场景,特别是军事的人与物;不准接触无关人员等等--蒋同志还加了一句带威胁性的话: “出了事、后果你们自负。”尽管来朝鲜前大家有思想准备,但听了这些话后,中国人习惯性地小心谨慎起来。还没开始参观,朝方就过分严肃,给了大家一个下马威。为了打破车上沉闷气氛,徐导叫我们一起跟他朗诵:“敬祝伟大领袖金正日同志万寿无疆”之类的语录,还说些欢迎我们友好的中国人光临他们祖国的客气话。车开动后他开始介绍起朝鲜历史,当然主要是他们伟大领袖金日成父子的伟业和抗日、抗美的英勇经历,有趣的是他十句话里必有二句是伟大领袖的教导,跟中国文革年代一模一样。
      半小时不到我们就驶进平壤市中心,按中国游客的习惯大家迫不及待想拍照,张市长坐在司机旁边几次想拍照都被二位导游阻止,说到了指定景点会给我们充分时间照相。我们都觉得莫名其妙,连拍照都受限制,大家纷纷提出交涉。最终还是张市长有水准,跟二位朝鲜人说:“这么美丽漂亮的平壤为什么不让友好的中国人拍照?回国后我们还要宣传朝鲜社会主义制度的优越和伟大呢!”两位导游听了笑眯眯地妥协下来,要我们自觉不拍丑陋的场景,如在等公车的长蛇似的人群,挤满人的破旧的有轨电车,走不动沿街坐在地上休息的老人小孩,以及穿着破旧衣服、背着沉重行李和拖着简陋小轮车运输的人等景观。说实话,可能是司机开的路线刻意安排好的,出现在大家眼中的平壤,从外表看称得上“美丽”二字,因为它的市容和建筑与未进平壤市时沿路的其他地方相比差距确实很大。


      下榻五星级宾馆


      到平壤第一天,我们被安排住进涉外一级(中国五星级)西山宾馆,导游告诉我们前四天我们都住这里,最后一天住特级(特星级)羊角岛宾馆。大家心里一阵激动:友好的朝鲜人如此善待普通的中国游客,出这点费用居然让我们享受中国高级官员的待遇。下车后看到环山围绕的宾馆,风景相当美,说心里话,上海所有五星级宾馆都没有这样美丽的外部环境,在二位导游进大堂办手续时,大家还恋恋不舍地在外面欣赏西山宾馆的黄昏美景。这时,金医生就向我们泼冷水:朝鲜的涉外星级宾馆都设在无居民居住的山坡绿化丛林中,从宾馆向外走很久才能看到行人,原因很简单是要把我们彻底与朝鲜老百姓隔离开来。整个情况就像中国文革年代的上海一样,少数能到中国来的外国人只能住在锦江宾馆、华侨饭店,购物则进华侨商店。伴随外宾的只能是外事旅游局人员、公安人员,普通中国人是不允许进入这些场所和接触到外国人(包括华侨)的。
 
      而后的事实诚如金医生所说,我们高兴得太早了。

      走进三十多层高的豪华宾馆,里面静悄悄的,甚至有些死气沉沉,宽大华丽的大堂内空无一人,外宾食品部门还没到下班时间就已关门,外面的停车场也只有五辆旧车。导游说:饭厅人员要下班,我们得抓紧时间先吃晚饭,领我们进了二楼宽大的餐厅,大家眼睛也为之一亮,如此富丽堂皇!绝对不比国内五星级餐厅差。伴随着雄壮的迎宾曲,大家受宠若惊,兴致极高地抢拍餐厅的设施,并邀请穿着艳丽民族服装的漂亮女招待一起合影。我们坐下喝茶时,观察到诺大餐厅的四十多张大圆桌,只有三张有客人,二桌中国人、一桌伊朗人。电视大荧幕在播放着大型团体操《阿里郎》;金正日同志的名言语录一条条在朗读着;一会儿,荧幕中有个女兵用激昂的歌喉唱《我们的将军天下第一》,歌词结尾是“最高司令官金正日将军,第一呀!第一呀!啊!天下第一!”随后又有男女军人歌舞画面,老韩夫妻为我们翻译画面的文字:“先军文化、先军时代是实现新变革的创新时代”、“以金正日同志为主体的先军思想是社会主义建设的总方针”。我对先军思想理解不透,请教张市长,他说,这是金正日的所谓创新马列主义,打破了传统的共产主义理论,把军人排在工农前面,金正日认为,朝鲜与其他社会主义国家不同,军队不仅夺取了政权、保卫了政权,还建设了政权,朝鲜的社会主义制度和建设应以军人为主导,所以叫先军思想。在接受了半小时的政治教育后,大家都饥肠辘辘地等待着享受一顿丰盛的晚宴。服务员开始上菜了,令人遗憾的是菜与环境完全无法相比,上来三种朝鲜泡菜,一盆碎肥肉、一盆油炸鱼块、一大碗没有多少米的薄稀粥、十几只掺苞米粉的馒头。“变修”的中国人已不习惯艰苦奋斗,几位有所准备的队员拿出国内带来的食品充饥,而我只有半饥半饱地退席。真是一顿刹风景的晚餐。
      吃完饭大家回房间,电梯慢吞吞地爬,在电梯里,我们碰到了几个广东口音的中国人,但他们都很紧张,也不跟我们打招呼迳自回房。进了客房,我仔细研究起房内的设施来:床上没有席梦思,硬邦邦的;电视机、空调都是中国八十年代制造;房内一只旧的大衣厨,门都拉不开;冰箱空荡荡没有一点食品与饮料;连起码的介绍旅馆的手册都没有,没有笔、没有纸;卫生间最不敢恭维的是卫生纸---卷发黑的卷筒草纸;二块发绿的再生小肥皂-- 怎么也搓不出泡沫。几个队员不断来敲门,互相打听导游住哪里。因为不是这间电视机打不开,就是那间空调开不出,而我的卫生间热水始终调不高。找不到导游,也联系不上服务台,大家只能扫兴回房。我盖着又硬又旧的被子,一夜没睡好,想看电视解闷,荒谬绝伦的是这个国家只有一个朝鲜语国家电视台,翻来覆去播放宣传一个内容:伟大的领导金家父子的丰碑;老金是再生父亲、小金是二十一世纪的太阳等等。
  
      遇到晨练的广东同胞
  
      第二天早晨,我睡不着起得很早,天刚亮我就偷偷走出大堂,因为我迫切希望碰到一些在这里生活的中国人,想更深入地了解这个国家的一些详细情况。
      幸运的是在宾馆外大花园里,我碰到了昨晚在电梯上遇见的几位广东同胞,他们正在晨练。交谈后才知道:他们是受广州外贸局派遣来援建制糖厂的,住在西山宾馆,已有一年了。在朝鲜这样一个封闭的国家,能见到自己的同胞,真是“老乡见老乡,两眼泪汪汪”,他们警惕地向四周观察,发现没有人才与我交谈起来。从他们嘴里我知道了这是一个什么样的国家,几个人齐声告诉我六个字:“封闭、静止、愚昧。”虽然他们住在星级宾馆,但吃得很差,更没有自由,心里实在想家、想回国。可是有二年劳务合同,又不愿放弃国内发的较高工资,每天只能在这里像木偶一样耗着。他们比喻自己过着软禁一样的生活,没有手机,想与国内亲人通话都很困难。每天工地宾馆两点一线,陪同他们的翻译和朝方安全局人员几乎寸步不离,只有晨练一小时是最自由的,因为二位跟屁虫还在睡懒觉。他们告诉我:昨天在电梯里陪同我们的姓蒋的也是安全局的人,因为他也曾经跟随过他们。这涉外西山饭店的工作人员大多是国家安全局派来监督外国人的,我们每人房间都设有监视器、窃听机。我听了吓一跳,问为什么这样?他们说:“不放心呗!你文革总经历过吧?这里所有一切都是学文革一套,是翻版,并有过之而无不及。文革中我们人人戴毛泽东像,他们佩金家父子像;文革中我们天天读语录,他们也读金氏名言;我们把毛泽东比红太阳,他们把金正日比作二十一世纪的太阳;我们爹亲娘亲不如毛主席亲,他们管金日成叫爷爷,管金正日叫我们的父亲;我们有八个样板戏,朝鲜也有八个样板戏《血海》、《卖花姑娘》、《党的好女儿》、《金刚山之歌》等;总之什么都一样。这里有钱买不到东西,所有食品日用品都跟中国文革时一样,配额定量供应,我们看到当地人排队领各种配给的东西,油、鸡蛋、肥皂……。”广东人还说,朝鲜人民一直坚持每日每周的学习制度,各单位都设有“主体思想学习室”。在工地上他们看到朝鲜工人上班前都要集中在“学习室”,由书记带领高唱《金日成将军之歌》,随后是半小时的主体思想学习,向领袖表忠心。下班后还要集中到学习室,总结汇报一天的工作和思想情况,每个月还要写出书面总结汇报,就像中国文革的“早请示晚汇报”。包括他们现在出门离开平壤都要有朝鲜有关部门开的路条证明,并由安全局人员陪同。因为现在西方人极少来这个国家,所以他们把中国人当老外。朝鲜人会像我们文革时陪外宾一样,带你们去看最好的、粉刷过的、包装过的东西和场所,但不会让你接触任何朝鲜老百姓,除了他们指派的。广东人还叮嘱我:“你记牢,导游的话十句中一半是假话、谎言,特别不要买他们带你去的所谓涉外专卖店的东西,砍中国人的刀很厉害的。”这些他们都经历过。大约一个小时后,他们很快走进宾馆,因为朝方工作人员都要起床了,当时我听其中一个广东人指着鞋子说:“倒楣,今天又踩地雷了。”我低头一看,他的鞋底好像踩上了大粪。
      这次谈话对我触动不少,看来我从朝鲜旅游回国的朋友及金医生嘴里听到的话与广东人所说的一模一样,为了证实所有这一切是否真实,我多了个心眼,准备继续细心观察。
      早餐时,大家纷纷述说这倒楣的一晚上,声讨这五星级宾馆的一切设施。最后还是金医生的话安定了大家的情绪,因为她曾是朝鲜人,最有发言权,她说:“朝鲜整个经济发展已基本静止、物资奇缺。这类涉外宾馆平时根本就没有多少客人住,这里一切都是公家的,没有客人,宾馆哪里有钱维修与添置新设备?大家将就些,不要奢望贪心,我们现在享受到的已经是朝鲜人梦寐以求的生活了。来这里就要有思想准备,多看、多想、少问、少说,好戏还在后头呢。”
  
      极权之都--平壤

      在我们第一次进出平壤时就被一个军事检查站拦截,看到许多当地人与车辆在等候检查,大家既好奇又有点紧张,拚命向窗外张望。只见徐导下车出示自己证件和一张外宾特殊通行证,军警没有上车检查,就让我们的车子很快顺利通过,许多人向我们投来好奇和羡慕的眼光,估计路边排队的车辆已经等了很久了。这使我们好奇地向导游打听原因。原来朝鲜人是不能随便进出平壤的,因为这个国家长期处在半军事化状态。熟知这里情况的金医生悄悄告诉我,能在平壤居住、生活是朝鲜人的荣耀,这里都是衷心爱戴金日成父子的模范百姓;而那些出身不好的,类似中国文革时的四类分子及家属,是没有资格在平壤居住和出入的。金医生还告诉我一件荒唐的事:她弟弟有个女儿,三岁得了小儿麻痹症,一条腿走路,却只能把女儿养在靠平壤的郊区农村。根据朝鲜劳动党政策:残疾人不能居住在革命首都平壤市,在平壤市区的中区、平川区和江区等中心区不允许有残疾人。据说这一“最高指示”是朝鲜人民伟大领袖金正日下达的,理由是不能给外国人留下不愉快的印象。当今世界善待残疾人、为残疾人提供各种社会服务和优惠政策已是衡量一个国家先进与文明的重要标志,而在这个自称为真正社会主义制度的“人民乐园”国家里,这个自称朝鲜人民“父亲”的所谓伟大领袖,竟然把残疾人当作“不应该出生的人”。
      第二天,我们参观平壤市主要景点,车驶在大街上,大家都在静静地观察。朝鲜男人服装基本上是四种颜色--黄色(军人服)、白色(衬衫)、黑色与灰色(全身),比我们文革时只有黄与蓝二种颜色好些。大街上到处能见到军人,漂亮建筑的站岗人也是军人、城市进出口公路检查站都是军人。导游一路上不断宣传朝鲜劳动党的伟大事业,是社会主义制度的天堂。说朝鲜的义务教育很早开始,1975年起全面实施十一年制义务教育,保证新一代起码能掌握中等以上的知识;朝鲜是一个实行全民免费医疗的国家,看什么样的病都不要钱;朝鲜的住宅也是国家免费提供的,人民根本不需要做“房奴”。我们听了都羡慕得不得了,不少人笑盈盈地向二位导游申请:争取移民到朝鲜来。因为现在教育、医疗、住房这三座大山正压得中国人喘不过气来,既然兄弟邻邦没有三座大山,中国人当然乐意来。我们还调侃金医生傻瓜,天堂生活不过,却逃到中国来受三座大山的压迫。导游还说朝鲜没有任何私有制,一切都是公的,在农村,土地、生产资料、包括住房都是公的,他们的合作社等于我们过去的人民公社,作业班等于生产队,事实上朝鲜很多体制和制度就是沿袭过去苏联与中国的一套。大学生小唐听后嘲笑地说:朝鲜人民始终如一,“一切为革命”,而中国如今是“为钱疯狂”,大家笑了起来。
      说平壤漂亮,主要还是绿化地带、马路整洁干净,几乎没有一点垃圾。所有街面不细心看好像没有一间商店,因为商店都没有招牌和门面广告。朝鲜是配给制社会,合作社商店规模极小,一切生活资料都是按配额的,所以更没有什么超市,除少数涉外商店,整个社会商业活动是静止的。平壤市交通畅通无阻,因为公共车辆极少,特别是货运车与计程车,即便有一些小汽车也都是政府机构和大中型国有单位的。自行车也很少,公车站上排着很长的队伍,大多数居民是步行上班,行人习惯性地乱穿马路。美丽的模特女交警是平壤的一道靓丽的风景线,也是所有外宾抢着拍照的物件。市内到处是绿化,蓝天白云,没有环境污染,空气特好,与中国大城市呈明显的反差。整个平壤看上去就像一道装饰配置得很完美的布景。当我们住了五天后,又发现平壤治安特好,没有乞丐,不用担心小偷、骗子,这些方面在中国随便哪个城市都是无法相比的。当然,随着我们旅游的深入,所有这一切漂亮的摆设也逐渐揭开谜底,这些都是朝鲜广大人民以丧失巨大的人权和自由的代价换来的。
      平壤最高建筑是柳京饭店,这是个不伦不类停工的废建筑,高105层,是与法国人合作的大项目。1989年建造,现在巨大的建筑残骸在平壤市中心静止地躺着,据朝鲜人说是因为美国的挑拨打压,促使法国人破坏并停止了这项工程。在我看来,这是一个象征性的事例,表示这个国家与它一样,静止地躺着。
      金日成体育场前大马路中央是凯旋门,建于1982年4月,高60米、正面宽50.1米、侧面宽36.2米,是一座雄伟的石砌纪念碑,正面背面都刻满了金日成的丰功伟绩,据说比巴黎的凯旋门还高大。
      在平壤市的一条江上停了一艘美国军舰,导游指着它自傲地说:“这是我们人民军缴获到的美国间谍船!”然后夸大其词地说了朝鲜人民军十八名战士俘虏了美军八十人的故事。
       
      “主体思想”的统治
       
      我们的车经过金日成体育场时,导游告诉我们,这里可接纳十万人,早二十天来就能看到世界规模第一的团体操《阿里郎》,参赛者达到十万至二十万人。据说《阿里郎》称得上一部吉尼斯记录的大杰作,是溶朝鲜名曲、优美的民族舞蹈、艺术体操、杂技、迷人的背景美术、现代化的装置和照明手段于一体的大型艺术体操。导游说,排演朝鲜革命样板戏和大型团体操是每个青少年的荣耀,每个表演者都经过严格挑选,并要长时期不断排练。从 1961年开始,朝鲜就不断创作出大型团体操《劳动党的时代》、《千里马朝鲜》、《跟着党的旗帜前进》、《人民歌颂领袖》,演出的同时,还有上万人组成的人工背景,在统一指挥下打出各种衬托的画幕,整齐划一,令人惊叹.在全世界的艺术家们追求独具个性的创作的同时,朝鲜的少年儿童却在一代接一代地、日复一日地重复练习着这些团体操。
      大门广场上,有几百男女学生兵在操练,导游告诉我们:这些是刚从学校出来服役的学生在集训。在朝鲜每个男孩16岁、女17岁,必须服兵役,除非残疾人。兵役期男十年,女五年,考上大学的人毕业后服三年,服兵役往往离开家乡南北对调。大学生小唐听了吓一跳,说:“十年?一个人的青春不是全泡在军队里了吗?”可导游却说:“当兵可是朝鲜青年人的荣耀。”导游又向我们介绍:在朝鲜离婚需要组织上批准,并且只有一种理由容易批准--生不出孩子。朝鲜女青年找男人的标准也是“三高”:个子高、工资高、学历高;还有二个重要政治标准:劳动党员、当过兵。在朝鲜,革命军人是社会主义建设的主力军,国家的水利、铁路、公路、农村大面积坪地、重大工程、军事设施、金家父子的各种丰碑、巨型纪念馆都是人民子弟兵的血汗凝结的。入党是每个朝鲜人的一生追求和荣耀,但比较难,年轻人都是通过十年兵役磨练、参加各种突击队,速度突击队、生死突击队之类的考验后才能入党。导游告诉我们,朝鲜每个青年都要继承白头山(金日成革命基地)精神。
      巍然屹立在平壤中心的大型烽火塔叫主体思想塔,据说它比美国华盛顿纪念碑还高一米,导游说,它象征着以人为中心的政治哲学--主体思想的伟大和永垂不朽。它是1982年4月为金日成70寿辰而建立的,也是迎接创立主体思想而建。导游还对我们说:“这是世界上惟一象征思想的一种塔,世人瞩目,我们要献花鞠躬。”
      参观金日成故居时,我们看到一大群少先队员双膝跪在柏油马路上,我奇怪地问:“孩子们干什么?”导游说:在打扫卫生。其实这条路非常干净,再走近孩子,我看到令人吃惊的一幕,十几个人一排,共有四排孩子在用手绢或小刷子,趴在地上慢慢地一寸一寸细腻地擦刷地面,他们真正做到了一尘不染。导游看到我们大惊小怪的神情,告诉我们:这是少先队员向金爷爷表达由衷的爱戴之心,每天都有学校组织孩子来为爷爷打扫故居。大家心里在问:“有这必要吗?肉麻又夸张!”我想起文化大革命的拜神运动,组织人民向伟大领袖“早请示、晚报告”、“跳忠字舞”,一千多万佩戴红袖章的红卫兵先后多次,在天安门广场朝圣毛泽东,挥舞着语录,发疯似的狂呼“万岁!万万岁!爹亲娘亲不如毛主席亲!”的场面。三十年后今天,朝鲜还在维持着这种愚昧无知的做法。
      1994年7月8日凌晨两点,朝鲜的太阳神,世界上在位时间最长(50年)的领袖金日成因病去世,噩耗有如晴天霹雳,这天朝鲜人号啕恸哭。金日成去世后,金正日这孝子,按中国二十四孝的故事,“奇异地”度过了三年守孝期,那三年正是全国饥荒肆虐,几百万人饿死的情况下,而朝鲜国家元首却处于空白状态,西方称为“二十世纪末的谜”。我想:如果在西方任何一个国家,人民早让他卷起铺盖滚出总统府了,而这个号称社会主义的朝鲜民主主义人民共和国,竟然上演了一幕中世纪的父业子传的荒唐戏。金正日孝顺地把父亲的尸骨做成木乃伊永久保存,以供朝鲜人瞻仰,把父亲的出生年定为 “主体元年”,改西元为主体年,把父亲的生日定为“太阳节”,在朝鲜建造大大小小数不清的“永生塔”供人民拜祭,宣布父亲是朝鲜“永远的国家主席”。他还强迫每个朝鲜人每年要过二个节,父亲的“太阳节”与他的“亲爱领袖节”。他告诉朝鲜人民万物生长靠太阳,在朝鲜的天空有三颗太阳,一颗是靠核聚变发光发热的太阳,另两颗是靠脑子里不断冒出来的“主体思想”发光发热的金家大小太阳。金正日公开执政后,发展了父亲的主体思想,创造军事为先的政治方式。而盲目个人崇拜的朝鲜人说:无论是东方还是西方,都一致公认他们的伟大领袖金正日为二十一世纪的领导者和太阳。金正日是世界上杰出的思想家、伟大的政治家、所向无敌的统帅、科技大师、文艺天才,是当代无与伦比的伟人,而金日成是伟人中的伟人。
      在平壤市中心、主要景观地虽然没有看板,但都有太阳像,永生塔。据说每个城市、街道、合作社、大企业、大单位都有永生塔,就像每个朝鲜人都带领袖像章,每个家庭都挂金家父子像一样,因为时时刻刻要朝拜。我们在朝鲜到一些主要宣传金家父子丰碑的纪念地,都被要求掏钱买鲜花。大约朝鲜人知道现在中国人有钱,一把花卖30元人民币,在朝鲜我们先后被迫五次买花祭拜。我问平壤百姓平均月收入多少?导游说自己200多人民币;金医生告诉我平壤人月工资不超过60元人民币;生活在平壤的广东人说只有30元人民币。
       
      有价鸡汤和无价像章
       
      晚上,导游带我们去一家涉外朝鲜族餐厅,并极力怂恿我们自费加菜吃特色朝鲜鸡。结算时,大家都吓一跳,一只朝鲜鸡抵当地人几个月工资!大家问导游为什么这么贵?导游说是用高丽参煲的汤。饭后上车我们看到服务员塞了一包东西给导游,他就坐我边上,我看到是三条烟二瓶酒。我想起广东人的忠告,看来朝鲜导游拿的回扣是实物。本来我们还想买一些朝鲜土特产带回国送人,特别是有名的高丽参。通过鸡汤一事,大家警惕起来,开始怀疑起这个号称世界上最纯洁的社会主义国家也是有受贿和腐败的。导游又积极地带我们去一家家涉外购物商店,店内看不到一个朝鲜人,导游与营业员十分卖力地向我们推销货真价实的朝鲜土特产。但我们团内的沈阳人,特别是老韩夫妻,一看就摇头说,在沈阳的朝鲜族市场,同样的东西价格只有这里三分之一,吓得大家降低了采购热情,二位导游很失望。
      在各处卖纪念品的涉外商店,始终看不到金家父子像章,我们很奇怪,因为文革时毛的各种各样像章在中国到处都有卖,所以有些人也想买回去收藏,想不到在朝鲜领袖像章是不能卖的。导游说:“它是无价之宝,是每个单位组织发的,从少先队员开始每个朝鲜人必须戴的,不能送人、也不能卖。”我好奇地问导游:“在文革时期,中国有成千上万人因为不小心弄坏领袖的像章宝书,被打成反革命坐牢吃官司,你们这里有吗?”小徐僵硬的脸上一时反应不过来,支吾着说:“很少有的”。小徐又马上告诉我,每个朝鲜人都把领袖像章当成心脏一样看待,当生命一样爱护。他们对领袖的爱戴是从小养成的,孩子出生第一个认和喊的不是父母,而父母都会自觉地指着墙上领袖像,告诉刚呀呀学语的孩子:“这是我们的大金爷爷、小金爸爸”。
       
      社会主义国家的“气节”和“尊严”
       
      一路上我们发觉朝鲜人都很瘦,面有菜色,很少看到肥胖人。我问导游原因,他避而不答。我心想朝鲜地理位置不在热带,气温又不高,也没强烈紫外线,不应该像柬埔寨人一样瘦,唯一的原因只能是吃不饱,缺营养。我们开车从朝鲜北面妙香山一直到南面开城三八线,沿途公路旁主要的庄稼是玉米,都长得很矮、而且每块玉米地都有一个破烂的长脚草棚了望哨。凡经历过三年自然灾害的中国人都知道,当时中国农村田里都有这种防偷窃的草棚。我又一次故意问导游:这是什么?他都不回答。还是金医生悄悄咬耳告诉我:“饥荒,防偷玉米的。”农田里除了牛,几乎看不到类似拖拉机的农机具。金医生还说农民缺化肥,我相信这点。因为我仔细观察五天,我们每天在这条朝鲜南北主要公路上往返几个小时,没有看到一辆类似国内的大型集装箱运输车,也极少看到运货物的卡车。沿途也只看到几家水泥厂,没有见到化工厂,更看不到类似中国的工业开发区,这二点足以说明朝鲜经济与贸易几乎静止。
       
      以前的朝鲜很有“骨气”,遇水灾旱灾地震均拒绝国际援助,像当年毛泽东对待唐山大地震一样,完全靠自力更生、革命加拚命的精神。甚至1994年大饥荒时,朝鲜饿殍遍野、几百万人饿死时,仍打肿脸充胖子拒绝国际援助,特别是拒绝“美帝国主义”和日本、兄弟韩国等资本主义国家的援助。金医生告诉我1997年是朝鲜饥荒最厉害的一年,尽管消息封锁得很紧,但从家乡逃出来的“北脱者”处打听到,最严重的灾民区甚至发生人吃人的事与没有足够棺材盛死人的惨状,那时她日夜为自己父母与兄妹担忧。当年2月,朝鲜劳动党中央书记、党的首席理论家和自给自足哲学总设计师黄长烨,途经北京叛逃投奔韩国后向全世界透露:那个“欣欣向荣”的国家这几年饥荒饿死了三百多万人,震惊了世界。诺贝尔经济学奖获得者、印度人阿马蒂亚??森的研究表明: “回顾世界上可怕的饥馑史,任何一个独立、民主、拥有相对的新闻自由的国家,从来没有发生过重大的饥馑”。说民主制度下无饥荒,一个重要的原因就是:资讯的公开传播,使饥荒在短时间内成为全人类共同面对的问题。这就大大降低了饥荒的程度,资讯的传播还会引来众多的国际援助。而朝鲜与中国的三年自然灾害之所以造成上百万上千万人的死亡,恰恰是国家的专制和资讯封锁造成的。
      半个世纪静止的经济,使得走投无路的朝鲜如今被迫改变了态度,在最近发生的几次灾难中,如2004年4月22日平安北道龙川郡发生的严重火车大爆炸事故和今年的大水灾,无奈的朝鲜开始接受国际援助。据说中国是朝鲜的最大援助国家,具体有些至今还是保密的。我从这次同团出访的辽宁一家专门与朝鲜搞贸易的公司人员嘴里了解到,1994年,因朝鲜的自然灾害,中朝边贸开始起步,中国丹东的民间边贸是朝鲜的生命线,尽管多次政治事件造成边贸中断,无赖的朝鲜方拖欠中方大量贷款,使中国不少贸易公司与私营商人无法追回货款而导致破产,但边贸却一直没有停止过。朝鲜国内许多官员内部供应的奢侈品,特别是燃料和食品绝大多是靠中国官方与民间悄悄送去的,如果没有中国与他的兄弟韩国的帮助,朝鲜的日子将更艰难。听说在中国出口商品交易会上,专门注明一段话提醒商家,对朝鲜贸易“一定要注意收汇安全,以防上当受骗,切勿同朝政府机构发生贸易关系,严防对方擅自扣押、拖欠货款、追不回债务”等。
      苏联解体后不再大笔援助朝鲜,这个“欣欣向荣”的国家拖欠了俄罗斯近60亿美金外债,一直赖着不还。2002年害得普京总统亲自到太阳国去讨债,结果还是颗粒无收,当时小太阳对普京双手一摊说:建议两国把过去的旧账一笔勾销,从头再来吧。吓得别人再也不敢与这个无德无信的无赖国家打交道了。上个世纪90年代初,东欧社会主义各国市场崩溃,前社会主义国家要求朝鲜以美元进行回债结算,1992年美国银行停止了对朝鲜的美元结算,又通过香港、日本、澳门、捷克银行冻结了大量朝鲜外汇。美国对朝鲜实行的经济制裁,其范围、内容、手段和方法给朝鲜带来致命一击,所以朝鲜对美国恨得咬牙切齿,朝鲜政府一直说它的自然灾害是被美帝国主义封锁出来的。事实上,它的三个邻国,中国、俄罗斯、韩国都没有封锁它,甚至一直悄悄的无偿援助它。中国援助朝鲜世人皆知,在“抗美援朝”时几乎倾尽国家所有去支援它,高达600亿美元,战争结束后为了维持这个政权,又源源不断的提供各种援助,每年最少几十亿,这种状况一直持续了五十年。直到现在中国仍然援助它,每年50万吨粮食、100万吨石油、250万吨焦碳。
      我们很想了解真相,想去一个普通朝鲜人家做客,看看他们吃什么,生活情况到底是怎样的。可是五天中,我们连自己三位司机导游吃什么都看不到,只知道他们偷偷摸摸地与我们隔开吃饭,而我们吃剩下的啤酒之类的东西也被女服务员偷偷打包塞给他们。我们无可奈何,接触不到一个普通朝鲜老百姓,就是在地铁、各旅游风景点,旁边站着朝鲜人也无法交谈。他们不敢与不戴领袖像章的外国人讲话,而我们身边又有国安局人员盯着。于是,双方你看我,我看你。他们的眼神迷惘、无神、恐惧,他们能估计出我们是中国人。从我们稀奇百怪漂亮的穿戴上;从我们手中拿着的各种进口像机、从我们手上带的名表、金戒指和脖子挂的金项链上;从我们红光满面肥胖体态与一副趾高气扬的富裕旅游派头上。他们一定会想:昔日一同抗美的志愿军老大哥,今天怎么会变得这么富裕?怎么学美国佬一套,贪图享受、花花绿绿的?难道中国人不想革命了?不想解放全人类了吗?还成什么兄弟的社会主义国家?赤裸裸的修正主义!而我们内心也在想:四十年前我们与朝鲜人一模一样,闭塞而愚昧无知。可他们怎么至今还不醒悟过来?难道他们真以为自己是真正的社会主义国家吗?自己能肩负解放全人类的重任吗?还能够与美国再打一仗吗?还梦想中国人民志愿军高唱着:“雄赳赳、气昂昂、跨过鸭绿江”来再帮他们一起打败美国野心狼吗?
       
      公路边没有一个厕所
       
      我们去开城和妙香山,在公路上开一小时经常碰不到一辆车。我们还搞不懂,为什么每天外出上百公里远,哪怕再晚当天也一定要赶回平壤住原来宾馆?为什么不能住沿途的宾馆呢?这完全是在浪费时间嘛。经金医生点拨才明白,平壤宾馆隔离条件最好,朝鲜人不讲经济效益,只讲政治安全。看来草木皆兵的朝鲜高层领导对谁都不放心,连友好的中国人也要隔离、监督、保护。使我们更惊讶的是,沿途公路没有加油站、没有长途车站、没有商店甚至没有一间路边房屋;公路没有收费站,却有军事检查站。两旁绿化同样非常好,我们经常看到带红袖标的女人沿着漫长公路边打扫卫生。两边树林基本上把一切隔离,树林后隐约能看到农村男女百姓背着沉重的东西在辛苦地奔波。在朝鲜,只有军人有胆子在公路上拦截过路车。有次我看到一个军人弄伤了腿撑着手杖坐在公路中央,二个战友拚命挥手拦我们车,我们车却飞驰而过理都不理。我忍不住问导游:“我们有空位子,为什么不让受伤军人搭车?”小徐说:“我们是外宾车,严格规定不能搭人。”公路上来往汽车实在稀少,估计有车的都是有来头的,所以老百姓不敢搭。一路上至少有七八次军人拦车,可我们的车很牛,从不减速飞驰而过。
      去开城要三个小时,因为早晨喝了不少稀饭,加上可能泡菜不卫生,害得一半人想拉肚子或小便,车上几个年纪大的都憋不住,拚命叫司机找路边厕所。导游支吾了半天说“公路上没有厕所”,劝我们在公路边方便。我们不信会有这种事,他们说:“不相信的话,你们找,找到马上停车”。谁知开了一个小时仍见不到公厕,我们纳闷,公路上怎么会没厕所?总会有加油站、小超市之类的建筑吧,导游与司机是不是故意在为难我们?车上有点身份的人,特别是女同胞都拒绝在公路旁、光天化日之下大小便,只有老韩夫妻主动下车去方便,我们心里还笑这对知识份子。结果大家忍受着又开了一个小时,还是见不到厕所,真见鬼了!实在憋不住了,我们只能彻底屈服了,因为路边确实连一间房子都没有,更不要说厕所。大家只有求司机靠边停车,让我们方便,否则真要出洋相。我们一群男女老少抢着下车各自找隐蔽的地方,当然也顾不得羞耻了,上车时只见三个朝鲜人与老韩夫妻偷偷笑我们的狼狈不堪样。上车后我们很生气,但又搞不懂一路上怎么会没有厕所?我突然想到广东人说踩地雷的事,才恍然大悟。我好奇地问朝鲜人:“你们平时大小便也这样随便?”他们大笑“当然”。自从这件事后我们所有人开始注意公共厕所,注意朝鲜人是否随便大小便。细心观察后吓一跳,就是在平壤市都很少有公共厕所,更不要说出城市了,平壤茂密的树木丛草中经常有过路人在大小便。第五天早晨,在我们的车转弯经过女新兵训练的体育场灌木林时,看到令人信服的一幕,四个年轻的女兵都在那里方便。怪不得老韩夫妻这对知识份子能第一个下车随便大小便,早就了解朝鲜人的这一陋习。
       
      奢华的金日成礼品馆

      使人匪夷所思的是,去妙香山风景区时,怕我们接触到普通老百姓,特别是怕我们看到山里穷苦人家的情况,导游不安排我们爬山看风景,却安排我们去参观朝鲜人民引以为豪的金日成礼品馆,在那里泡了大半天,大家提出抗议也无用。导游说,这是领导和朝鲜政府安排的红色革命教育之旅,也要外国人敬仰爱戴他们的伟大领袖。据说每天有一万六千人来参观,全是从全国各地轮流组织的合作社农民、国家工人、学校学生、机关干部,外宾不到百人。每个参观者都要穿戴整齐,朝鲜妇女都穿着漂亮的民族服装。一条主大道两旁整齐排着一队队男女老少,清一色的胸章,怀着虔诚的瞻仰心情,鸦雀无声。在富丽堂皇用黄金装饰的紧闭大门前,导游给了我一个荣誉,叫我双手去拉开门,妈哟!沉重的门不知什么材料铸成,拚命拉也只微微动开点,还是张市长上来帮忙才把门拉开。我们一队进去后工作人员马上关门,每人换上鞋套,迎面见到一座黄金铸造的金日成领袖像,参观者都要列队鞠躬,外国人也不例外。女讲解员含着泪花,用动听的普通话说:“今天在这里我们要向伟大领袖鞠躬,衷心感谢金日成爷爷,愿他永生;感谢金正日父亲,愿他永远健康。”我们看到前后一队队朝鲜人都含着泪花,拚命向他们的领袖鞠躬再鞠躬。说实在我流不出泪水,反而汗毛根根竖立,看到这些愚昧痴呆的朝鲜人,我从内心为他们流泪。小唐说,一路进来还没有正式参观,已鞠了三次躬,里面不知还要鞠多少次?


      作者在金日成礼品馆前,身后即是沉重无比的大门。

      此馆巨大无比,富丽堂皇,讲解员说,共有二百多个展厅,如果以平均每分钟看一件珍品,需要一年时间才能看完。每个厅的大门三米多高,门用贵重的木料,门把都是黄金包装,每条长廊四百米,气势宏大。讲解员告诉我们:“共有179个国家在五十年中,送给我们伟大的领袖二十二万三百六十五件珍贵文物和稀罕的宝藏。所有这些宝贝要论价的话,我们的领袖金日成是世界上最富有的人,但是我们的伟大领袖爱人民,把这些宝藏无私奉献给朝鲜人民观赏,门票只有25元。”由于时间原因,女讲解先带我们进入中国馆,我看到满屋子金、银、象牙雕琢的珍品,景德镇名贵的瓷器,齐白石、徐悲鸿的画,还有各种祝金家父子万寿无疆的鹤、松、龙、寿、福等名家书画,都是从毛泽东周恩来到中国各省市的领导每年送来的礼品。综合厅里有非洲利比亚卡扎菲送的黄金腰刀、古巴卡斯楚送的纯金盒装特级雪茄烟、伊拉克萨达姆送的用金子打出来的阿拉伯文金日成主体思想拼成的头像、柬埔寨西哈努克送的象牙宝塔、越南胡志明送的用一百只鹤精细拼成的寿字、罗马尼亚齐奥塞斯库送的翡翠钻石,更少不了从史达林开始前苏联历届领导人送来的珍稀珠宝。使朝鲜人更自傲的是“美帝国主义”、“日本强盗”、“美国走狗”、南朝鲜的领导人,也纷纷向他们的领袖送各种大礼。朝鲜导游自豪地说:“这说明我们的金爷爷是伟人中的伟人。”所有国家领导人从金日成执政(1946-1997年)五十年间,几乎每年祝寿都送礼给他,难怪礼品堆积如山,远比外国人进贡给中国西太后(在位47年)的礼品多得多。我心想,金家父子难道是皇上?是一对收礼品的痴迷狂?光中国人送的礼品足足几十大厅,我们上海市每届领导人都有礼品送到这里。最令人作呕的是郭沫若赠送的一幅幅诗词,写的内容就像文革当年送林彪江青的肉麻赞扬诗词一样,把中国知识份子的脸都丢光了。看了礼品馆,我心想:金家父子跟中国皇帝有什么两样?满屋子贡品,如果他俩真的心疼人民,早应该拿出去变钱粮,去救济在九十年代初大饥荒中饿死的上百万朝鲜人。可是正恰恰相反,也就在那时,他们花了几百万建了这座比皇宫还豪华的个人崇拜的神堂,不光强迫每个朝鲜人来顶礼膜拜,还叫每个到朝鲜来参观的外国人也来颂扬他,金家父子真以为外国人也像他的子民一样愚昧无知?真是可笑极了。


      揭开抗美援朝真相

      导游又带我们参观了“朝鲜志愿军纪念馆”,讲解员指着着二本精致的名册说:“这里有中国志愿军在朝牺牲的几万人全部名册。”我发觉这个女解讲员说谎竟一点不脸红?--中国官方统计志愿军就死了四十万。像册里面醒目处有毛泽东的长子毛岸英的画像,讲解员又讲了毛岸英的故事,把毛岸英在指挥部被轰炸机炸死编造成英勇救同事牺牲,张市长连声应说:“可惜!可惜!”我听了忍不住问:“老张,难道你也不知道毛岸英怎样死的吗?” 老韩马上插上一句:“如果毛岸英活到今天,中国会怎样?”张市长支吾了一下说:“可能像朝鲜。”金医生马上说:“怎么可能?!百分之百是朝鲜!”我心想真是老天有眼,给中国人一条活路,否则中国就像朝鲜人一样,继续生活在“二十一世纪的太阳里”。
      参观朝鲜战争纪念馆,听朝鲜讲解员的话就知道这是一个充满谎言的纪念馆。我曾去过不少当时参加朝鲜战争的国家,如英国、澳大利亚等等,从这些参战国家的战争纪念馆里多少了解了一些事实,一些真相,更不用说主要参战的美、韩纪念馆,但唯有在这里充满夸大和谎言。最主要的是捏造事实:说自己是进行了一场反美帝国主义侵略的战争,又说朝鲜人民军与中国志愿军消灭了美韩一百六十多万侵略者,直接打死美国强盗四十多万,击落飞机一万二千多架,打沉军舰五百六十艘、击毁坦克三千三百辆等等一长串数字。我问讲解员:中国志愿军死伤多少?她说几万人,我们听了都笑起来。我又问,朝鲜人民军死多少?她不回答了。连参加过抗美援朝的张市长都忍不住说“一派胡言”。
      尽管我在南、北朝鲜的双方军事参观室内听到讲解播放的战争历史原因截然不同,特别是朝鲜战争第一枪究竟是谁先打的问题。但我仍相信韩国说的是真话,朝鲜在撒谎。因为我自从踏上朝鲜这块土地,看到的、听到的、细致观察到的都是谎言,这个国家的人民完全生活在被欺骗和谎言之中。像我这样经历文革磨难的过来人,太熟悉这一套铁幕背后的秘密了!小时我就听参加过“抗美援朝”的二哥说过,志愿军在朝鲜是和联合国交战,他告诉我这是一场实力悬殊的较量,中朝死伤远超过联合国军。停战结束朝鲜很惨,男女比例达到一比四,连参加建设的男人都缺乏。在金日成的要求下,大批志愿军在停战后留下帮助朝鲜建设社会主义,时间长达三年之久,所以我二哥就在朝鲜又待了二年。朝鲜许多基础建设,特别平壤的建设都有中国志愿军的足迹和功劳。另一方面,为了彻底搞清朝鲜战争的来龙去脉,我曾走访过美国华盛顿“朝韩战争纪念馆”(露天雕像群),亲眼目睹联合国立在那里的大理石碑,上面清楚刻着参战的十六个国家。为了进一步考证事情的来龙去脉,我在纽约联合国开放式的资料馆又亲眼看到如下记载:
      1950年6月25日(星期天)朝鲜共产党领导人金日成在没有发出任何警告、也没有宣战的情形下,乘机越过三八线进犯毫无准备的南韩。南韩军队虽然英勇抵抗,但是事实证明12万韩军不是配备各种苏式重型武器和俄制t-3型坦克的20万北朝军队的对手。金日成偷袭成功了,到8月初就攻占了90%的韩国领土,并长驱直入一直打到大邱附近的洛东江才被暂时控制住。大韩民国向联合国发出呼吁,联合国通过三项决议,谴责朝鲜共产党的侵略行为,要求北朝军队撤回三八线,并呼吁联合国所有会员国给大韩民国以军事支援。美国军队首先抵达,随后共有21个国家组成的联合国军参战,其中派战斗部队的有16个国家,支援医疗及设备的有5个国家。联合国军在麦克亚瑟将军指挥下,在仁川出其不意成功登陆,形成大包围一直把朝共军队赶出了南韩,拿下平壤,并把朝鲜军队打得溃不成军,退到中国边境。
      最近,在英籍华人学者张戎与英国历史学家乔。哈利戴伉俪所著的新书《毛泽东:鲜为人知的故事》中,他们根据新解密的前苏联国家档案,也揭示了朝鲜战争的内幕与真相。1950年1月19日,苏联驻平壤大使甚特科夫就电告史达林,“金日成请求史达林允许他发动进攻,解放南韩”。30日史达林回电答应“可以帮助他,但必须依靠毛泽东,有北京支援”。当时史达林最希望中国与朝鲜能消灭并牵制大量美国军队,使世界权力平衡倒向对苏联有利一边。那时史达林的全球梦包括在德国、西班牙、意大利等存在共产党的国家。甚至在联合国安理会表决派联合国军队支持南朝鲜时,苏联驻联合国代表马利克本可以行使否决权,否定这一决议。但是史达林指示他“缺席不要去”,让决议通过。苏联拒绝行使否决权的举动,曾让世界大惑不解,都说苏联错过了阻止西方出兵的机会。实际上史达林是有自己的如意算盘,故意让联合国决议通过,好让毛泽东与金日成去拚死拖牢美国,他可以坐山观虎斗,并腾出手来解决西欧问题。但料想不到的战情是:以美国为首的联合国军仁川登陆,打得朝鲜军一败涂地。10月,在史达林的一再催促和金成日十万火急的求援下,毛泽东不管中共中央高层内部多数人的反对,悍然决定出兵朝鲜。当时反对呼声最高的是林彪,他在反对无效的情况下,装病拒绝出任中国赴朝志愿军司令一职。他认为新中国刚解放,军队应整休恢复,而且当时美军具有完全的制空权,大炮优势是四十比一,如参战志愿军会有大量伤亡,并且美国可能轰炸中国大城市及工业基地,甚至可能朝中国扔原子弹和不利于解放台湾等等。尽管毛泽东事后说:“抗美援朝出兵在中央最高层最初表决结果只有‘一人半’(半人指周恩来)支持出兵”,但在史达林一再的压力下,10月10日周恩来率领中共政府代表团在史达林的黑海畔别墅谈判出兵事项,史达林承诺大批援助中国军事工业建设计划,及马上提供飞机、大炮、坦克等先进苏联武器装备,并派空军协防东北等,而且史达林还把中国军队定名为“中国人民志愿军”。在这样条件下,毛泽东最后决定“出兵”,并在中国掀起了声势浩大的“抗美援朝,保家卫国”的动员和战时准备,投入巨大兵力物力。随后彭德怀受命带领志愿军迅速开入朝鲜,当时毛泽东不敢告诉中国人民是与联合国开战,只能对人民说:出兵是抗击“美帝国主义侵略朝鲜”,是为了“保家卫国”。朝鲜战争历时三年,导致数百万人死亡,不计其数的人伤残。据今天中国官方透露,赴朝参战人数达三百万,死亡四十万;苏联官方档认为中国死亡人数为一百万(这些牺牲不知朝鲜是否感谢中国?)。国际统计,美国死亡人数三万七千人,英联邦各国一千二百六十三人、其他国家一千八百人。在这场战争中,南韩估计包括平民在内的死亡人数大约有一百万,而朝鲜高达二百五十万人,导致战后北朝鲜男女比例为一比四。
      在纪念馆的各个展览馆里,放了不少羞辱美军的战利品,所有文字讲解充满好战的英雄气概,仿佛明天又准备再打一场似的,而美帝真像毛泽东所说的仿佛是一只纸老虎。整个展览馆和我们在朝鲜其他地方看到的有关战争的展示,及三八线上的经历,都仿佛在制造一种恐怖,大有战争一触即发的气氛。我从心里佩服金正日的战备意识和宣传气氛,就像文革中林彪的一号通令强迫疏散城市四类分子,和毛泽东深挖洞广积粮、时刻准备打大战打核战一样的气氛。说白了这就是每个独裁者惯用的伎俩,想藉此来转移国内的矛盾,转移人民对其政权不满的视线。
      在军事展览馆里,解讲员还向我们介绍金正日的先军理论。毫无疑问,每个朝鲜男女通过十年或五年的洗脑,灌输崇拜领袖的愚昧教育,用先军思想彻底塑造出一个个忠于领袖、没有杂念、愚昧无知、类似机器的朝鲜人。封闭隔离使朝鲜老百姓根本不了解世界,根本不了解他们的同胞兄弟韩国人如何生活。在愚民政策下他们认为自己是世界上最幸福的人,整个世界受美国控制,并且对他们不公,只有他们是真正的社会主义,他们紧跟领袖肩负着世界革命的重任,完全是中国文革时的调子与模式。


      与女军事解讲员合影


      我们还去了另一个朝鲜战争的纪念馆--开城三八线板门店。
      在去开城三八线时,越往南,越接近韩国,战备气氛就越浓,人和建筑越来越少,钻的山洞越来越多、越来越长,军事岗哨越来越密、越来越严。公路两边巨大钢筋水泥柱也越来越多,开始不理解派什么用,导游告诉我们:这是战备闸门,只要一开战,一爆炸公路全切断。我们的二位导游毕竟是军人,他们告诉我们:朝鲜人不怕与美国再打仗,我们有核武器、有原子弹、有导弹。他们好战且充满勇气,但我从心底里为他们的愚昧无知而可笑,他们以为还能像当年朝鲜战争一样,到时苏联出钱、中国出人帮他们。我想如果今天他们敢与美国再次较量,可以说是鸡蛋碰石头,大不自量力了,而俄罗斯与中国人民也绝对不会再出钱与出人了。
      在进三八线板门店参观时,我们受到了严格的检查,等了将近半小时,在宣布纪律时更是制造紧张气氛,“绝对不准拍照,除非经同意;双方哨兵手中的枪都有上了膛的子弹,如行动越轨可能造成死伤。”大家听后吓了一跳。据说朝鲜人一般是不允许进入此地的,想到四个月前我同样从韩国首尔去韩方三八线,韩国人根本没有这种战备意识和设施,我真为韩国人担心。因为金正日“穷兵黩武”政策太强烈,太好战了,他要转移国内矛盾太容易了。我在三八线上站了很久,同样四个月前我在对面韩国的地界上也站了很久,通过了望台高倍望远镜看到朝鲜几公里以外的情况。当时我心想:1989年德国柏林墙推倒的时候,二天里有七十五万社会主义东德公民逃到资本主义的西德;如果明天朝鲜这条封锁线被推倒,将会有多少朝鲜人越过这条三八线呢?我想只会多不会少,因为历史一次次证明靠欺骗愚弄百姓是无用的。曾经是“脱北者”的金医生悄悄地告诉我,这几年有上万“脱北者”逃亡到中国东北、俄罗斯远东、南韩等地。尽管“慈父”下令抓到“脱北者”一律要在锁骨上穿上铁丝枪毙,但丝毫没有减弱那些高唱“全世界羡慕我们”的人们逃亡的决心。今天这些“脱北者”利用各种管道纷纷将外界的讯息传递给仍在朝鲜的亲人。
      在参观时我又发现一个有力的证据,在朝方板门店停战纪念室中,有二张签约桌子,分别插了二面旗子,朝鲜国旗与联合国国旗,还有双方代表签约的记录副本。朝方解讲员说,这是当时双方停战代表美国与朝鲜、中国签约的桌面。我忍不住打断朝鲜解说员的话:“你说朝鲜与中国人民是跟美国打了一场反侵略战争,但为什么这里停战签约的不是美国人而是联合国代表?”讲解员完全没料到一个中国游客会提出这样一个棘手的问题,他支吾了半天说:“当时联合国受美国控制。”我又问他:“那么当时苏联与众多东欧社会主义国家为什么不反对,却让联合国来签字?”我的中国队员都拉我,叫我不要再问了。事实大家心里都清楚,全世界人都知道这场战争是什么性质,是谁与谁在打,唯有朝鲜人与中国人相信金日成与毛泽东的谎话。

      红色之旅的压台戏--大型少年歌舞表演

      我们走访朝鲜正是一次“红色之旅”、“接受政治宣传之旅”。最后一天,导游先安排我们参观平壤地铁,它是当年苏联帮助建设的,当时从战备考虑,深挖到地下近一百米。它可以说是平壤最值得骄傲和宣传的、也是决不会错过让外宾参观的地方。我们提出要乘一下,开始两位导游不肯,怕我们与朝鲜人接触太近。后来才算勉强同意,但立了一条纪律,不准离开团队一步,不准与陌生人交谈,而且只乘一站。尽管条件苛刻,但我们总算体验了一下近距离接触朝鲜的老百姓。平壤由于交通工具稀少、奇缺,所以乘地铁的人很多,特别在上下班时。我们尽管与朝鲜人长得相似,但凭右胸没有金正日像章,就明显区分出是外国人。挤在人群中,他们都用奇异的眼光盯着我们,僵硬的脸上没有丝毫表情,我们向他们友好示意,也没有反应,而是尽量与我们保持距离。呆滞的目光向我们投射过来,脸上是一种隔阂、惧怕的神情,因为他们一定知道我们身旁有国安局人在监视着。
      从地铁站上来,导游安排我们去参观了万景台平壤市学生少年宫,其建筑面积为12万平方米,它的规模和装饰绝对比中国任何省市少年宫大而华丽。在一个十四岁美丽迎宾少女带领下,我们参观了一间又一间少年儿童的活动室,一群群少先队员在老师指导下学习刺绣、书法、绘画等。从他们看着我们那天真无邪的眼神里,我实在看不懂他们算是幸福的一代,还是被糟蹋的一代。金医生咬着我耳朵悄悄说,这些孩子都是干部子女,他兄弟(中层干部)一个女儿也在这里。最后一项节目是观看少年儿童大型歌舞乐曲表演,二千多座位,我们外宾被安排在中央,每个团队都有一个代表买了鲜花准备闭幕时上台献花,把我们隔离开的四周坐满了组织好的学校少先队员。接下来是一场天衣无缝、十全十美的精彩演出:感人的场面、激动的掌声、此起彼伏的闪光灯、外宾与天真无邪、美丽的小演员亲吻拥抱献花。可以说,在这些训练有素的天才小演员面前,走访朝鲜最后的落幕肯定会给每个外国人留下美好印象。早就听朋友介绍这节目是压台戏,往往给人留下最美好最深刻最感动的印象,舞台投影落幕的背景是金正日面对山呼海啸般呼喊着万岁的千万人群。
      回顾我们这次朝鲜之旅,完全是一次“红色革命游”、“政治宣传游”、“金家父子丰碑游”,一路上到处给我们看的都是金家父子的“永生塔”、“纪念碑”、“丰功伟绩厅”。但是朝鲜当权者错了,大多数上了年纪的中国人都经历过这种封闭、静止、愚昧的文革年代,很容易识别真伪,有良知的中国人都痛恨这些遮羞布,因为我们这一代人对这种愚弄欺骗老百姓的宣传已经深恶痛绝,中国人没有西方老外那么天真好骗。今天金正日父子的巨型画像可以代替一切广告,他控制着朝鲜实行半军事化治国,他可以用先军主体思想清洗每个朝鲜人的头脑,就像文革用毛。泽东思想清洗每个中国人一样,但他的整个国家制度已经严重阻碍了朝鲜的经济建设和发展。他把朝鲜人民禁锢在铁洞里,他可以加紧对人民推行封闭的愚民政策,但他不可能万岁!一旦铁幕被打开,其结果必然是适得其反,纵观整个世界历史演变过程,难道这种教训还不够吗?
      在回国去机场的路上,导游还心不死,拉我们去涉外商店,想扫光我们的钱袋,拿足回扣的香烟和酒。我没进去,一转身看见身边又有一座金日成永生碑,我站在这些用谎言重复一千遍变成真理的丰碑前,心想:金家父子没有拿破仑式的扩展疆土或统一祖国的伟业丰碑值得树立,独裁者的本质是玩弄全体人民于股掌之中树其血腥的丰碑,这在今天的朝鲜是最大的,最典型的。而真正让人悲哀的是:人为地把一个民族一分为二,使亲人长期不能团圆。人为制造分隔分离的独裁者是罪恶的,注定要遭到谴责的。我真担心有一天当人民醒悟过来、感觉上当受骗时,朝鲜人民又会怎样对待这些美丽丰碑的主人呢?姓金的二代人愚弄摧残朝鲜人民的感情,竟执政达半个多世纪,而且至今还在延续着,真不可思议!

      之所以标题没有取“XX实习日记3”,是因为在奥运的特殊时期,我怕自己在博客中会无意泄露一些东西,所谓外事无小事,特殊时期更应该悠着点(搞撒,好像自己掌握什么绝密情报什么的,切= =)。事实上,作为外办的小小HR,我每天的工作是很规律的,就是翻阅干部档案,并把相关信息输入电脑。你可以说,这活儿很没有技术性、很无聊啊。你也可以说,这活儿惬意呀,大热天的坐在洋楼里,吹吹空调翻翻人事档案,看看每个干部的成长历程。你也可以这么说,靠,这活儿怎么能让实习生干,一个月下来领导干部的老底不都被你知道吗?
      确实,以上三种说法很好地概括了我工作的特点。说到无聊,对着电脑要不停地输入若干串数字和年份,还有其他信息。因为每份人事档案都比较厚,所以往往只能一只手打字,另一只手要翻住档案,挺累的。说到有趣,因为档案里包含了人生每个重要时期的点点滴滴,你可以看到一个亭亭玉立的小姑娘如何成为一个成熟稳重、阅历丰富的女强人,你也可以看到一个骁勇善战的部队军官如何成为一个温文尔雅的外事干部。此外,还有许多有趣的公文,因为涉及隐私和机密,不一一枚举。事实上,到现在我也学到了不少东西,比如职务、职级与职称之间的区别联系,又比如一些公文的写作规范,此外还见识到了各种各样的图章,种类之多,用途之泛让我或多或少地了解了各级机关的职责范围。
      我觉得,要总结人的一生,区区一叠纸就够了,但是要概括人的一生,一叠纸是远远不够的。我透过这些纸,看到了不同时代下的不同的人生,精彩也好,无奈也罢,各自的点滴汇都成了那个时代的艰辛和峥嵘。
      人老了,那叠纸或许会变厚,人死了,那叠纸也就封存起来了。那叠纸本身没什么,比那些纸震撼的多的是每个人背后酸甜苦辣的人生历程。
