【新唐人2011年3月4日讯】3月2号是前苏联共产党末代总书记戈尔巴乔夫的80岁生日。他在职时期的政策导致了冷战的结束，促成和平解体苏共、解体苏联，并为此于1990年获得诺贝尔和平奖。多国政要向戈尔巴乔夫祝贺他80岁生日，俄罗斯民间团体发起「感谢戈尔巴乔夫」运动，他的不朽功绩已载入史册。
2号当天，俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫专程前往祝贺戈尔巴乔夫生日，并向他颁发了国家最高荣誉勋章，以表彰他的杰出贡献。梅德韦杰夫表示，戈尔巴乔夫领导国家渡过了最艰难的时期。
俄罗斯总理普京也在祝贺生日的书信中赞扬戈尔巴乔夫。美国前总统老布什、德国总理默克尔等多国政要，向他表达了生日祝福；前美国驻俄大使马特洛克赞扬他「为造福全人类而改变了世界」。
戈尔巴乔夫与亲友一同庆祝自己的生日。之后，在伦敦还将举行戈尔巴乔夫生日庆祝大会，和以他的基金设立的「改变世界者」奖项首次颁奖仪式。
俄罗斯人用各种形式对戈尔巴乔夫结束了苏联共产党的独裁统治表达感谢。一些居民区贴出了很多写有「感谢戈尔巴乔夫」等大幅广告。叶卡捷琳堡市的「列宁大街」，被改名为「戈尔巴乔夫大街」。
戈尔巴乔夫2号出席他的照片展，他回顾当年的变革说：「我们的变革给了俄罗斯人敢于说出自己的想法的自由，而在此前，苏联人生活在恐怖之中，只能在厨房里，在收音机的音乐声和吸尘器的噪音中才敢谈论自己的看法。」
二战结束后，以苏联为首的东欧共产阵营，与美国和西欧的民主阵营，展开了长达40多年的冷战对峙。1985年，曾被西方视为强硬派的戈尔巴乔夫出任苏共最年轻的总书记，他试图通过改革和开放，来挽救苏联共产主义的失败。
自由亚洲电台特约评论员史东说：「戈尔巴乔夫于1985年上任之后不久，就实行了两项重大的措施：一是政治体制改革，二是开放言论出版自由，也就是公开化。可是，在苏共内部一大批基层选举上来的人民代表纷纷脱党、退党，最后连莫斯科市长和市委书记叶利钦也脱党，与共产党唱对台戏。」
1988年，戈尔巴乔夫宣布苏联放弃勃列日涅夫主义，减少对东欧国家内政的干涉，这个政策导致1989年的「东欧剧变」，结束了冷战格局。
旅居德国的极权主义问题专家仲维光说：「生活在89年以前的人都是认为，共产党政权是很难动摇的。但是1989年11月9号柏林墙的倒塌，一下子整个东欧共产党国家都崩溃了，这个崩溃就给了人民一个很强的信念，这个信念就是让人们看到共产党一定会灭亡。」
1991年8月19号，苏共保守派发动政变，将戈尔巴乔夫软禁了三天，并派出坦克镇压民众的抗议。当时任俄罗斯联邦总统的叶利钦，站在议会大厦前的坦克上发表演说，劝说军队不要对民众开枪。
保守派政变失败后，叶利钦宣布解散苏联共产党，戈尔巴乔夫也宣布苏共「自动解散」，并辞去总书记和苏联总统职务。
《纽约时报》3月1号指出，戈尔巴乔夫被评为上个世纪最伟大的「失去政权」的政治家，他没有与国民对抗到底，没有把自己的祖国变成「血海」，而是干净利落地交出了权力，血腥屠杀示威国民的中共和卡扎菲应向他学习。
戈尔巴乔夫曾呼吁建立博物馆，以纪念在斯大林统治的共产党时期的数百万遇害者，让共产党政权的最残忍暴行不会被人遗忘。
2月21号，戈尔巴乔夫在莫斯科召开记者会，强烈批评俄总理普京和总统背离民主原则。他还表示：列宁遗体应当被从红场列宁墓迁出。他并对埃及、突尼斯等中东、北非反独裁浪潮表示支持。
2008年，77岁的戈尔巴乔夫宣布，他将在辞去苏联领导人职务17年后再度進入政坛。此前2002年，戈尔巴乔夫当选为俄罗斯社会民主党领袖。2007年，他当选社会民主党人联盟主席。
今年1月4号，广州《南方人物周刊》刊出对戈尔巴乔夫的专访，中共媒体直接对戈氏专访并大篇幅报导相当罕见，引起外界关注和网民热议。
文章赞扬戈尔巴乔夫20年前顺应民意，「开启了苏联走向民主之门」。戈尔巴乔夫在专访中强调，政治改革首要的是政党改革，放弃一党专制。文章的开篇引用毛泽东的话：「苏联的今天，就是中共的明天。」
在苏联共产党和平解体20周年之际，中共也与当年苏共一样，面临解体崩溃的危机。目前，在大纪元退党网站上公开声明退出中共党、团、队组织的人数已超过9千万。
全球退党服务中心指出，中共独裁专制暴政正在走到尽头，退党大潮将确保中共在不久的将来也能和平解体，开创中国政治体制转型的变革之路。

Hailed for Peaceful Disintegration of USSR, Gorbachev Turns 80
Mar. 2 is the 80th birthday of Gorbachev, former Soviet president, whose policies led to the end of the cold war and the demise of USSR. For this, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. World leaders are congratulating his 80th birthday. Russians are launching a grassroots movement called “Tribute to Gorbachev.” His insuperable merits have gone down in history.
On Mar. 2, Russian President Medvedev paid a visit to congratulate Gorbachev on his birthday and confer him the highest honor, the Order of St. Andrew for his outstanding contributions, commenting that Gorbachev led Russia in a "very complex, dramatic period".
Russian PM Putin also wrote to praise Gorbachev. Foreign dignitaries, including ex-U.S. President George Bush and German Chancellor Merkel congratulated him. Ex- U.S. ambassador to Russia, Jack Matlock, Jr. said, he “for the benefit of all mankind, changed the world."
After Gorbachev celebrates his birthday with friends, there will be a grand celebration in London. A ceremony to confer 1st “Man Who Changed the World" awards by his foundation will also take place.
Russians thanked Gorbachev for ending ex-USSR's dictatorial rule in many different ways, including erecting many large “Thank you, Gorbachev” billboards. Yekaterinburg's Lenin Ave was renamed Gorbachev Ave.
Gorbachev attended his photo exhibition on Mar. 2. Reflecting on the changes, he said, “Our changes gave Russians freedom to speak out their minds. Before that time, Russians lived in fear. They could only talk about their thoughts in the kitchen, in the music of radio or in the noise of a vacuum cleaner.”
After WWII, the Communist bloc led by former USSR and the democracies engaged in a 40-year cold war. In 1985, Gorbachev, once regarded as a hardliner, became the youngest USSR leader. He attempted to prevent the demise of Soviet Communism through reforms and opening up.
Shi Dong, a commentator at Radio Free Asia: Not long after Gorbachev assumed office in 1985, he implemented two major policies: political reforms and freedom of speech and publication. However, many elected representatives quit the Party. Eventually, Moscow Mayor and Party Secretary Boris Yeltsin joined the opposition and left the Party.
In 1988, Gorbachev announced that USSR gave up the Brezhnev Doctrine and reduce its interferences with the internal affairs of Eastern European countries. This policy led to the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in 1989 and put an end to the cold war.
German-based expert on totalitarianism issues, Zhong Weiguang: “Before 1989, people all thought the communist regimes were unshakable, but after the Berlin wall collapsed on Nov. 9, 1989, the entire Eastern European communist bloc collapsed, which gave people a strong belief, that is, the communist parties are bound to perish.
On Aug. 19, 1991, the Soviet hardliners staged a coup. They put Gorbachev under house arrest for 3 days and sent out tanks to suppress people's protests. Then-Russian President Boris Yeltsin, stood on a tank in front of the parliament building and made a speech, persuading the military to refrain from firing at people.
After failed coup of the hardliners, Yeltsin announced to dissolve the Communist Party. Gorbachev also announced self-dissolution of Soviet Communist Party and resigned from his position as the General Secretary of the USSR.
New York Times reported on Mar. 1, Gorbachev is the greatest politician in the 20th century. He didn't fight against the people to the end and bloodshed his motherland. Instead, he surrendered his power gracefully. The CCP and Gadhafi, who slaughter the protesters, should learn from Gorbachev.
Gorbachev once advocated the establishment of a museum to commemorate Stalin's millions of victims so the brutal atrocities by the Communist regime will not be forgotten by people.
On Feb. 21, at a press conference in Moscow, Gorbachev harshly criticized Russian President and PM for deviating from democratic principles. He also said the embalmed body of Lenin should be removed from its mausoleum in Red Square. He supported the anti-dictatorship waves in Egypt,
Tunisia and other Middle Eastern countries.
In 2008, Gorbachev announced to re-enter politics after he resigned as a Soviet leader 17 years ago. In 2002, he was elected as leader of the Russian Social Democratic Party. In 2007, he was elected as chairman of the League of Social Democrats.
On Jan. 4, 2011, Southern People Weekly published an interview of Gorbachev. It is rare that CCP's media published any interview with Gorbachev in fanfare. This attracted a lot of attention and heated discussions.
The article commended Gorbachev for conforming to the public opinion 20 years ago, and opening up the democratic gate for the USSR. Gorbachev stressed the key for political reforms is the reform of the parties, i.e., give up one-party rule. Mao was quoted: “USSR's today is CCP's tomorrow.”
20 years after the demise of Soviet Communist Party, the CCP is also facing the same crisis of collapse. To date, there have been over 90 million people quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Global Quitting the CCP Service Center said, the CCP's tyranny is coming to an end, and the CCP's quitting waves would ensure a peaceful disintegration of CCP in the near future, opening up a path for the political transition of China.

与记者吵架, 王府井成焦点 Supressing Foreign Journalists at Wang Fu Jing (W/ English Sub)
(VIDEO IN CHINESE, WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0lmOlphUMI)
【新唐人2011年3月4日讯】在北京酝酿发起的“民主抗议”集会没有成功，却引发记者被警方强制驱离的「王府井事件」。事后，中共外交部发言人在记者会上，与记者「吵架」的形象，成为外国媒体报导的「笑谈」。不过，外交部网站在刊出的记者会实录中，删除了所有有关「王府井事件」的内容。
受中东「茉莉花革命」影响，大陆网民也效法，透过网路号召各地公民去指定地点聚会。2月27号，在北京王府井的聚会，吸引了大批外国媒体关注，不过，这些记者什么也没采到，就被警方强制驱离。
而中共外交部发言人姜瑜在1号的记者会上，与数十家境外记者一来一往的激烈交锋，成为媒体「笑谈」。姜瑜指责记者是制造事端者。
而人权组织《人权观察》的索非理查森说：「这次中国（共）政府对记者的「镇压」，是对付驻华外国媒体惯用手段的最新表现。」
她说：「海外记者到那里進行中国法律允许的采访工作，而现场的保安人员数量却大得不成比例。」
日本各大媒体，连续两天报导姜瑜在对外记者会上的新闻。包括日本官方电视台NHK在内，大部分日本传媒报导说，中国（共）外交部发言人与驻华外国记者「吵架」近1个半小时。
而台湾《联合报》的报导说：「30多名境外记者以几近抗议方式的发问，质问外交部发言人，为何便衣警察可以任意殴打记者、可以任意带走媒体。」
《世界日报》说：「这次记者会创下了多个记录，包括时间最长、单一问题询问最多。逼得姜瑜数度要求记者不要再提 '王府井事件' 。」
'王府井事件'，也在3月1号外交部发言人例行记者会的问答实录中消失，在「实录」的13个问答中，只有最后一个问题涉及「民主抗议」，但提问的显然不是外国记者。
据「驻华外国记者协会」的统计，上周日有16家新闻媒体记者在北京采访时受到警方严重干扰。
《彭博》通讯社的一名记者遭剧烈殴打，另有两人受伤。有9家新闻媒体的记者被拘留，时间从30分钟到4个小时不等。他们拍摄的照片、录像和录音资料，大都被警方删除。
《德国二台》记者韩诚表示，星期天，他们一出门就受到一辆黑色轿车的跟踪，到达王府井后，就受到一群便衣包围。最后，德国记者被带到王府井建设委员会，在那里，警察让他们写道歉信，但被拒绝了。几个小时后警方删除了他们的录影后才放他们走。
这些便衣都是些什么人？有哪些权力？哪条法律才是有效的？他们竟然可以制止记者拍摄，要求记者提出采访许可。韩诚对《美国之音》说，他感到很困惑。
「保护记者委员会」的马德琳．厄普认为，星期天的镇压充分显示出中共领导人的恐惧。
美国驻华大使洪博培和欧盟驻华代表团也都发表声明表示关切，并敦促中国(共)当局尊重外国新闻工作者的报导自由权利，确保记者工作期间的人身安全。
「记者无国界」组织也谴责警方的行为。

《一个报人的反思》没有说话自由 Reflections of a Chinese Journalist (W/ English Sub)
(VIDEO IN CHINESE, WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)

【新唐人2011年3月4日讯】最近，原《南方都市报》主编的程益中在香港大学发表演讲，题目是《一个报人的反思》。他演讲时，大陆网友从《新浪》等微博上为他直播。但是，中共官方却明确要求所有媒体、网站，对他的这篇演讲遮罩封杀。程益中到底讲了什么？他又是一个什么样的人，让当局如此防范？
最近，原《南方都市报》主编的程益中在香港大学发表演讲，题目是《一个报人的反思》。他演讲时，大陆网友从《新浪》等微博上为他直播。但是，中共官方却明确要求所有媒体、网站，对他的这篇演讲遮罩封杀。程益中到底讲了什么？他又是一个什么样的人，让当局如此防范？
1965年出生于安徽的程益中是中国当代著名的「报人」，2005年他曾荣获「联合国教科文组织」颁发的“吉列尔莫．卡诺世界新闻自由奖”。
程益中曾参与《南方都市报》的创刊，以及《新京报》的主编。2月20号，程益中在香港大学的演讲中，披露了自己对报纸终极价值的理解，那就是“监督掌权者、制衡公权力、落实知情权。”他一针见血的指出，“客观、真实、独到、独立、公正、公开，这就是报纸的价值。”
在大陆上百家媒体中，1997年创刊的《南方都市报》后来居上，创造了一百四十万份的每日发行量、十亿元的每年广告收入。程益中正是主要的幕后推手。而“南都”赢得读者的喜爱来自它的办报原则。
在演讲中，程益中 说：“都二十一世纪了，嘴巴只有吃饭的自由，没有说话的自由，但这却是我国大陆的现实。”在这种体制中，程益中恰好看到了报纸的定位和潜在的商机。他说， “只要你办的报纸，坚持独立公正客观的立场，不参与制造和宣传谎言，不助纣为虐，不愚弄公众，不掩盖真相，你的报纸就一定是大陆最好、最成功的报纸！”
2003 年，“南都”率先报导了大陆「萨斯」的疫情；同一年，“南都”又报导大学生孙志刚遭收容被殴打致死的案件，促成大陆废除侵犯人权的「收容法」。《南方都市报》真实敢言的办报风格，使大陆读者达到了不去上访、不去法院，而是跪在报社门口喊冤的地步。
然而，程益中也成为当局的眼中钉。2004 年3月，他被当局以“贪污罪”的名义逮捕，但是他坚持不认罪。五个多月以后，广州检察院以“证据不足”将他无罪释放。据香港媒体2005年对程益中“南都”同事的采访，他被指控贪污的10万元，是报社的奖金，属于合法收入。
程益中在无罪释放后，还是被迫离开了《南方都市报》和《新京报》，现在他是「现代传播集团」公司的副总监，和《东方企业家》的执行总监。程益中在香港大学的演讲中，深有感触的说道，“一个人要干多少坏事、要做多少恶、要处在多么不义的立场，才敏感至此！脆弱至此！”
和程益中有相似经历的前《中新社》资深记者、著名媒体人高瑜女士，在1997年也曾获得联合国的这项“世界新闻自由奖”。高瑜在89六四前夕，被当局绑架并关押了17个月。
高瑜：“直到现在中国也没有新闻法，新闻自由没有保障，他为什么现在不立法呢？就是它要限制新闻自由，一定要作为党向人民专政的一个工具。这里边就很荒唐，因为新闻是要报导客观发生的事情。
至今，程益中对自己的选择毫不后悔，他表示，“为什么那些荒诞的、反智的、无良的、伤天害理的新闻禁令，还会得到贯彻执行，还有人买帐呢？我们应该团结起来，反抗！”

"Reflections of a Journalist" Didn't Speak Freely
Ex-editor-in-chief of Southern Metropolis Daily, Cheng Yizhong, at University of Hong Kong, made a speech titled "Reflections of a Journalist”. Chinese netizens broadcast it live on micro-blogs.
However, the Chinese authorities have required all media and websites to block his speech.
What was Cheng's speech about?
Why are the authorities so afraid?
Born in 1965 in Anhui Province, Cheng Yizhong is a well-known Chinese Journalist. In 2005, he was awarded the UNESCO World Press Freedom Prize.
Cheng participated in the founding of Southern Metropolis Daily.He also served as editor-in-chief of Beijing News. On Feb 20, in a speech at University of Hong Kong, he mentioned his idea of newspaper's value: "Monitoring those in power, balancing public authority, and implementing the right to information”.
He said incisively: "objective, factual, original,independent, impartial, open – that's the value of newspaper".
Founded in 1997, Southern Metropolis Daily surpassed hundreds of other Chinese media with a daily circulation of 1.4 million copies and annual ad revenue of 1 billion yuan. Cheng was the main driving force of the achievement. Southern Metropolis wins over readers with its principles.
In his speech, Cheng said: "It is already 21st century. Chinese people's mouth can eat freely, but not speak freely. That's the reality in China.”
In this situation, Cheng saw the newspaper's position and its potential business opportunities. He said, "as long as your newspaper insists on having an independent, impartial, and objective position, not making and spreading lies, doing no evil for the authorities, not fooling the public,
and not covering up the truth, it will be the best and most successful newspaper in China!”
In 2003, Southern Metropolis was the first to report SARS in China. It also reported the case of Sun Zhigang, the student beaten to death by the police in a detention center for not carrying his ID. The case led to the abolishment of inhumane Custody Law. Southern Metropolis Daily's bold style has led to readers presenting their cases to its office.
Consequently, Cheng became the authorities' eyesore. In March 2004, he was arrest for "corruption", but Cheng insisted on his innocence. Five months later, he was acquitted due to "insufficient evidence". According to Hong Kong media, Cheng was accused of embezzling 100,000 yuan. It turned out to be his legitimate bonus.
Cheng was later forced to leave his newspapers. He is now the deputy director of Modern Media Group and the executive director of Asian Business Leaders. In his speech at University of Hong Kong, Cheng said, "How much evil deeds and injustice one must have committed to become so sensitive and vulnerable!”
China News senior journalist Gao Yu also received World Press Freedom Prize in 1997. Shortly before the Tiananmen massacre in 1989,she was detained by the authorities for 17 months.
Gao: "Until now, China doesn't have a press law. Freedom of press is not guaranteed. Why not legislate? Because it wants to limit the press freedom. CCP wants the media to be a tool for its dictatorship. This is absurd, as news should be reported objectively.
Cheng has absolutely no regrets over his choices.
He said, "Why do those absurd, anti-intellectual, unscrupulous and murderous press bans get implemented? We should unite and resist!”

Five months later, he was acquitted due to "insufficient evidence". According to Hong Kong media, Cheng was accused of embezzling 100,000 yuan. It turned out to be his legitimate bonus.
Cheng was later forced to leave his newspapers. He is now the deputy director of Modern Media Group and the executive director of Asian Business Leaders. In his speech at University of Hong Kong, Cheng said, "How much evil deeds and injustice one must have committed to become so sensitive and vulnerable!”
China News senior journalist Gao Yu also received World Press Freedom Prize in 1997. Shortly before the Tiananmen massacre in 1989,she was detained by the authorities for 17 months.
Gao: "Until now, China doesn't have a press law. Freedom of press is not guaranteed. Why not legislate? Because it wants to limit the press freedom. CCP wants the media to be a tool for its dictatorship. This is absurd, as news should be reported objectively.
Cheng has absolutely no regrets over his choices.
He said, "Why do those absurd, anti-intellectual, unscrupulous and murderous press bans get implemented? We should unite and resist!”
