    为问青山绿水,能禁几度兴亡

    卧听钟声报夜深,海天残梦渺难寻。
    舵楼欹仄风仍恶,灯塔微茫半月阴。
    良友渐随千劫尽,神州重见百年沉。
    凄然不作零丁叹,检点生平未尽心。

     

    不晓得为什么坐在从 KEY WEST去 Dry Tortugas National Park 船上突然想起汪精卫来,可能是零丁洋的缘故吧. 


    汪人品清高,不近女色,酒量极好,且文采斐然. 胡适说自己是女人,一定死心塌地的爱他,是男子也爱他!徐志摩说,汪的眼睛,圆活而有异光,灵敏而有侠气。


    替汪翻案没有意义,就像替Pétain平反,其事虽然可以讨论,但大节有亏,事实皆在。 更何况成王败寇, CDG 虽有梁任公所指“远距离革命家”之嫌,终成民族英雄. 汪兆铭空有"慷慨歌燕市,从容作楚囚。引刀成一快,不负少年头” 的革命英雄主义气概, 惜乎命大, 若使当时"即流血于菜市街头,犹张目以望革命军之入都门",以其人品地位,当不下黄花岗七十二烈士, 为后世所称道. 


    汪善诗文,中山先生的很多文章乃至著名的遗嘱皆出其手.  汪曾在致胡适的信中道, 宁为袁崇焕,不作哥舒翰. 言其只求守一隅而存其民,不求战全局而亡其国也. Pétain 在VICHY时当亦作如是想. 法人并不诬其卖国求荣,但责其战略上的愚蠢,然这一点,却终究是立足于同盟获胜的既成事实之上.

     
    城楼百尺倚空苍,雁背正低翔;满地萧萧落叶,黄花留住斜阳。栏杆拍遍,心头块垒,眼底风光;为问青山绿水,能禁几度兴亡。

    重庆中央党部,蒋总统,暨中央执监委员诸同志均鉴:

    今年4月,临时全国代表大会宣言,说明此次抗战之原因,曰:“自塘沽协定以来,吾人所以忍辱负重与日本周旋,无非欲停止军事行动,采用和平方法,先谋北方各省之保全,再进而谋东北四省问题之合理解决,在政治上以保持主权及行政之完整为最低限度。在经济上以互惠平等为合作原则。”自去岁7月芦沟桥事变突发,中国认为此种希望不能实现,始迫而出于抗战。顷读日本政府本月22日关于调整中日邦交根本方针的阐明:第一点,为善邻友好。并郑重声明日本对于中国无领土之要求,无赔偿军费之要求,日本不但尊重中国之主权,且将仿明治维新前例,以允许内地营业之自由为条件,交还租界,废除治外法权,俾中国能完成其独立。日本政府既有此郑重声明,则吾人依于和平方法,不但北方各省可以保全,即抗战以来沦陷各地亦可收复,而主权及行政之独立完整,亦得以保持,如此则吾人遵照宣言东北四省问题之合理解决,实为应有之决心与步骤。第二点,为共同防共。前此数年,日本政府屡曾提议,吾人顾虑以此之故,干涉及吾国之军事及内政。今日本政府既已阐明,当以日德意防共协定之精神缔结中日防共协定,则此种顾虑,可以消除。防共目的在防止共产国际之扰乱与阴谋,对苏邦交不生影响。中国共产党人既声明愿为三民主义之实现而奋斗,则应即彻底抛弃其组织及宣传,并取消其边区政府及军队之特殊组织,完全遵守中华民国之法律制度。三民主义为中华民国之最高原则,一切违背此最高原则之组织与宣传,吾人必自动的积极的加以制裁,以尽其维护中华民国之责任。第三点,为经济提携。此亦数年以来,日本政府屡曾提议者,吾人以政治纠纷尚未解决,则经济提携无从说起。今者日本政府既已郑重阐明尊重中国之主权及行政之独立完整,并阐明非欲在中国实行经济上之独占,亦非欲要求中国限制第三国之利益,惟欲按照中日平等之原则,以谋经济提携之实现,则对此主张应在原则上予以赞同,并应本此原则,以商订各种具体方案。以上三点,兆铭经熟虑之后,以为国民政府应即以此为根据,与日本政府交换诚意,以期恢复 和平。日本政府11月3日之声明,已改变1月16日声明之态度,如国民政府根 据以上三点,为和平之谈判,则交涉之途径已开。中国抗战之目的,在求国家之生存独立,抗战年余,创巨痛深,倘犹能以合于正义之和平而结束战事,则国家之生存独立可保,即抗战之目的已达。以上三点,为和平之原则,至其条例,不可不悉 心商榷,求其适当。其尤要者,日本军队全部由中国撤去,必须普遍而迅速,所谓在防共协定期间内,在特定地点允许驻兵,至多以内蒙附近之地点为限,此为中国主权及行政之独立完整所关,必须如此,中国始能努力于战后之休养,努力于现代国家之建设。中日两国壤地相接,善邻友好有其自然与必要,历年以来,所以背道而驰,不可不深求其故,而各自明了其责任。今后中国固应以善邻友好为教育方针,日本尤应令其国民放弃其侵华侮华之传统思想,而在教育上确立亲华之方针,以奠定两国永久和平之基础,此为吾人对于东亚幸福应有之努力。同时吾人对于太平之安宁秩序及世界之和平保障,亦必须与关系各国一致努力,以维持增进其友谊及共同利益也。谨引提议,伏祈采纳!汪兆铭,艳。

    Spring and Autumn

    Hua has never been an organized person.  He is often proud of having a clear and organized mind, but never has felt shameful for not having a clean bedroom.  But as old Chinese saying goes, How could one clean up the world, without cleaning up his bedroom first?  So Hua started to think of cleaning up a little bit his MSN Space, by categorizing the blogs.  Of course Hua had to find propre names for each category he created.  Some of them are self-explainary, while some category titles need more explaination. 
     
    Spring and Autumn, in Chinese, is the synonym of History.  The reasoning behind it is: Spring and Autumn --> Years --> Annals --> History.  The Spring and Autumn Period represented an era in Chinese history between 722 BC and 481 BC, one of the best era in Chinese history, and one of the most important.  It's during this period that China genuinely developed its rich culture foundation.  The period takes its name from the Spring and Autumn Annals, which was the chronicle of the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period.  Traditionally attributed to Confucius as writer or at least editor, it covers not only annual events of Lu itself but also of the major states of Qi, Jin, Qin and Chu that dominated the politics of these three centuries. The naming of this article reflected some characteristics of agricultural society, as only first three seasons were useful to the peasants - sowing in spring and harvest in autumn. Winter was basically a resting season.  Winter is nor a season of war in cold-weapon-era.  Very few battles were taken in winter, esp. in the northern China.  (OK, this is not always true, for you critical guys.  Zhou Yu burned Cao Cao's 830,000 troop at Chibi in winter; Tuoba Gui's North Wei horsemen defeated Murong Chui's West Yan acrossing iced Yellow river in winter.) 国之大事,唯祀与戎.  Since winter has nothing to do with neither worshiping (the Heaven and the Earth) and nor war, it was not counted into a year.
     
    The book, along with YiJing, the Classic of Changes, ShiJing, the Book of Odes, LiJi, the Classic of Rites, ShuJing, the Classic of History(Early Zhou and before),  is considered as the Chinese Five Classics (Wujing), which is a corpus of five ancient Chinese books used by Confucianism as the basis of studies.  According to tradition, they were compilated or edited by Confucius himself.  The Classic of Music (YueJing) is sometime referred to as the sixth classic, but is lost by the time of the Han dynasty.
     
    Besides his interest in History, Hua also created the following categories to accommodate the other aspects of his interests and thoughts in this Blog space:
     
    Bouquinerie:  a place where Hua recommands his favorite books to his friends.
    Eureka:  it's all about Science and technology, the experimentalist facade of Hua.
    Que sera, sera:  thoughts on the Ideal life, the dreamer facade of Hua.
    The importance of loafing:  a place to relax yourself.  let's talk about litterature, leisure, and the enjoyment of life.
    Tour du Monde:  traveling experiences that Hua wants to share with his friends.
    7th art:  Movies!
