【新唐人2011年9月30日讯】毛泽东对知识份子历来不抱好感，把他们比作“臭老九”。仅57年“反右运动”就祸及中国近三分之一的知识份子，紧接着，“横扫一切牛鬼蛇神”的“无产阶级文化大革命”，没受冲击的寥寥无几。学者认为，毛敌视知识份子，与他在当年“北大”受鄙视有关，也与他帝王思想下不能容忍有思想的人有关。
毛泽东把秦始皇简单消灭肉体的“坑儒”，变成全国规模的“群众运动”，由群众来检举、揭发、批判、斗争，造成人人自危的态势。从1942年的延安“整风运动”到“文化大革命”，几乎每年一次。
毛泽东为什么如此仇恨知识份子？
四川作家、右派维权代言人铁流认为，毛泽东仇恨知识份子，与他“北大”经历有关。铁流表示，当初毛当图书馆管理员，一个月才8银元，而胡适、李大钊等教授一个月400多块银元。有一次他抄图书，因字迹太潦草受到批评，令他愤然离开北大。从此，他对知识份子结下了仇恨。
铁流:“如果当时他也一个月拿一百多块钱，他就不会上井冈山。如果当初他拿到400块钱的话，他就一辈子教书了，一辈子当大学教授了，也许中国有另外一个局面了。历史就是千差万错，结果从此结下了仇恨，所以他就愤然离开了北京大学图书馆。”
铁流还从党史专家李锐那里了解到，毛泽东对自然科学非常反感，甚至仇恨科学。
铁流：“57年反右一句话把他阻路了，罗隆基有句话：小知识份子跑来领导我们大知识份子。他听了很气。就这一句话，从而他仇视科学，仇视知识份子。他一生就是要整知识份子，非常霸道，非常霸气。”
不过，著名经济学家茅于轼认为，毛泽东鄙视知识份子，因为他认为他比任何知识份子高明。
茅于轼：“毛泽东对自然科学一窍不通，他不能完全理解现代科学对人类进步的作用，他认为他的想法超过任何人，甚至那些想法都没有必要。对理科的知识份子，他认为只要发动群众，世界上任何问题都能解决，用不着科学技术。”
历史学家王来棣认为，毛泽东仇视知识份子，还来自他无产阶级专政的帝王思想。他指出，接受过科学训练和民主精神熏陶的知识份子，不愿意盲目服从，并且追求民主自由，反对专制独裁，他们继承“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”的传统，关心国家命运，对国家大事好发议论，对政府领导人的行为评头论足。毛泽东自然无法容忍这些不听话的人。
翻译家罗稷南曾向毛泽东提出一个大胆的问题，他说：要是鲁迅今天还活着，他会怎么样?毛泽东回答：“鲁迅──要嘛被关在牢里继续写他的，要嘛一句话也不说。”
反右运动大获全胜后的1958年，毛泽东更是得意忘形的号称自己是“马克思加秦始皇”，并自夸比秦始皇坑儒多一百倍！而且在坑儒的手法上他远比秦始皇高超。
为此，铁流认为，毛泽东把整个中华民族全埋葬了，把这个民族全毁了，而这个人要不批，不把他的影响彻底清除，中华民族就没有前进的动力。

Mao’s “Stinking 9” Hatred
Mao Zedong hated intellectuals and called them ‘Stinking 9’.
In 1957, ‘anti-rightist movement’ harmed nearly 1/3 of them.
Later on, after ‘sweeping all the spirit’ and the proletarian
Cultural Revolution, very few intellectuals were left unhurt.
Scholars believe that Mao’s hostility towad intellectuals
is related to his experience at Peking University,
as well as to his dictatorship, which does not allow
people to have own thinking and actions.
Emperor Qin was just killing intellectuals, but Mao
made of it a ‘mass movement’ on a nationwide scale.
The reporting, exposing, criticizing, fighting, etc.,
resulted in people feeling insecure.
From Yan’an ‘rectification movement’ in ‘42 to the Cultural
Revolution, a mass movement happened almost every year.
Why did Mao hate intellectuals so much?
Tieliu, a Sichuan writer and a right wing activists’ spokesman,
believes that Mao’s hostility towards intellectuals,
is related to his experience at Peking University. Tieliu said,
when Mao was a librarian, he earned 8 silver dollars a month,
but professors like Hu Shi and Li Dazhao,
earned over 400 silver dollars a month.
When he copied books, he was criticized for scratchy writing,
so he angrily left university and since then hated intellectuals.
Tieliu: “If he earned over 100 silver dollars a month,
he would not go to Jinggangshan.
If he could earn 400 silver dollars a month,
he would have taught for a lifetime at Peking University.
Maybe China would’ve been in a different situation.
History is full of mistakes.
Mao started hating intellectuals,
as he left Peking University in anger.”
Tieliu also learned from the history expert Li Rui,
that Mao found natural sciences disgusting and hated science.
Tieliu: “In 1957, one sentence irritated him
during the anti-rightist movement then.
Lo Lung-chi said: ‘A small intellectual came
to lead great intellectuals.’ Mao was angered by it.
He hated science and intellectuals ever since,
and persecuted intellectuals all his life.
Mao was very overbearing and very domineering."
A renowned economist Mao Yushi believes, Mao despised
intellectuals because he felt wiser than them.
Mao Yushi: “Mao knew nothing about science, and couldn’t
understand the role of modern science in human progress.
He thought his ideas were the best,
others ideas are unnecessary.
He thought as long as you could mobilize the masses,
every problem can be solved,
and there was no need of science and technology."
Historian Wang Laodi believes that Mao hated intellectuals,
also because of his dictatorship of the proletariat.
He pointed out, intellectuals with scientific training
would not obey aimlessly. They would pursue democracy
and freedom, and go against dictatorship. They’d follow
the tradition ‘Everyone is responsible for the nations’ safety’,
concerned for the fate of the country. They like to comment
on important issues and can be critical of the politicians.
Mao Zedong perceived this as a disobedience
and did not tolerate such type of people.
Translator Luo Jinan once asked Mao a bold question,
“If Lu Xun was alive today, what will happen to him?”
Mao replied: “Lu Xun would either be in prison
and continue to write, or be silent."
After the ‘victory’ of the anti-rightist campaign in 1958,
Mao Zedong called himself “mix of Marx and Emperor Qin,"
and boasted to kill a hundred times more intellectuals
than Emperor Qin.
His methods of killing intellectuals
exceeded those of Emperor Qin too.
Tieliu believes, Mao buried the Chinese Han ethnic group,
and this ethnic group was completely destroyed.
If we do not criticize Mao and eliminate his influence,
the Chinese cannot move forward, is the expert’ prediction.
