【新唐人2013年12月18日讯】围绕上世纪60年代初的中国“大饥荒”，市面上已经出版了许多相关的书籍。已知四川省是“大饥荒”饿死人数最多的省分，约1200万人。其中荥经县又是四川之冠，9万人中约有5万人饿死！当时人吃人、吃尸体的现象非常普遍，完全是一个人间地狱。这样严重的事件，中共当局至今没有一个交代。
大陆博客作家石丰纲，在四川省荥经县大饥荒的调查采访过程中，陆续揭发了让人心惊肉跳的死亡数据。
最近，他在《参与》新闻网站中发表文章，讲述他在走访四川雅安市天全县始阳镇，与68岁的胡庆生老人谈话过程，胡庆生本人回忆了当时中国大饥荒所发生的种种惨不忍睹的事实。
胡庆生描述，成立“人民公社”时他14岁，完全懂事了。当时他家属于“始阳人民公社劳动管理区第六食堂”。开始时食堂还有粮吃，59年下半年之后，食堂里吃的东西越来越少，饿死的人太多了。
他印象最深的是61年下半年，邻居把他爱人杀死了，然后他在船上喊：“永别了！”一头栽到水里淹死了。
胡庆生表示，当时，雅安地区的重灾区并非天全县，而是荥经县和芦山县。其中荥经县又是四川之冠，9万人中约有5万人饿死。胡庆生说，根据调查事实，可以驳斥那些新、老极左人士所谓“全川没有饿死一个人，全国死亡不足100万人”的谬论。
胡庆生认为，随着岁月流逝，“三年大饥荒”离我们越来越远。幸存者们有的作古，有的高龄，又因种种原因而少有著述，因此社会对事件的记忆愈来愈淡漠。然而，“前事不忘，后世之师”，作为事件的亲历者和幸存者，他有责任把所经历的苦难如实的记录下来并告诉后人。
于是，他收集了那三年管理区死者的姓名，统计出了“天全县始阳人民公社劳动管理区第六食堂”，也就是现在始阳镇兴中村5、6、7三个村民组的死亡人员名单。
大陆作家、“老右派”铁流，在接受《新唐人》采访时表示，中国大饥荒期间，他人在劳教所。
中国作家铁流：“当时一个县大概饿死了一半人，留下的大概是50%，0152当时我在劳教，沙田(音)农场吧，我的体重下降到，我原来的体重大约是120多斤吧，下降到8、90来斤，饿死人时 ，开始时还是一个人一个坑，最后没有坑，就挖了一个大坑，十几个人葬在一起，我有一个朋友在那里埋死人，他一天埋十几个，被饿死的，都有的。”
荷兰历史学者、香港大学历史系教授冯克出版的《毛泽东的大饥荒：1958∼1962年的中国浩劫史》，揭示了在毛泽东的指令下，共有4500万人在这场饥荒中死亡。这部巨著使他成为了2011年“英国广播公司”“撒母耳．詹森奖”文学组别的得主。
紧接着，他的助手，70年代出生在四川的周逊，也出版了另一本英文专著《中国大饥荒，1958∼1962》（The Great Famine in China,1958-1962），由《耶鲁大学出版社》出版，书中公布了她从96年到2000年期间，在数十个省级和县级的档案馆所搜集到的多份真实史料，包括人吃人惨案的真实案例。
但中国的“大饥荒”至今仍然是中共的禁区。目前无论是官方的沉默或者掩盖，甚至民间，都不愿意重提这段历史，很多家中曾经发生饿死人或人吃人的家庭，也普遍选择沉默。
然而周逊认为，“为什么全世界都知道犹太大屠杀，没有几个人知道中国的大饥荒？我觉得作为一个搞历史的人，这是非常重要，是我的一个职责，让全世界都知道当时中国发生了什么事。”
虽然中共当局不愿承认“三年大饥荒”饿死多少万万的人民，但胡庆生这一份死亡名单告诉我们，他们确实曾经来过这个世界，又无声无息的死去。希望当代的中国人都能诚实、勇敢的面对历史，并愿死者安息！

A Death List: China’s Three Year Great Famine
Many books about China’s Great Famine of the 1960s
have been published.
Sichuan has reportedly ranked the province
with the most fatalities.
12 million people died in the Great Famine.
In Xingjing County, 50,000 out of a population of 90,000
died of starvation.
At the time, people ate people.
Cannibalism was a common phenomenon.
It was like a hell in the human world.
However, such a serious incident in China’s history has never
been reported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
China-based blog writer Shi Fenggang has done research
in Xingjing County about the Great Famine.
Shi gradually revealed the shocking death figures.
Recently, Shi published articles on canyu.org
about a conversation with a 68-year-old Hu Qingsheng
in Shiyang Township, Tianquan County, Ya’an City.
Hu recalled appalling facts about the Great Famine.
Hu said that he was 14 years old and completely mature
when the “people’s commune” launched.
His family belonged to the “Sixth Canteen of Shiyang
Commune Labor Management District.”
At the beginning, there was food in the Canteen.
In late 1959, the food diminished more and more
and many people starved to death.
What left the deepest impression on him was when,
in late 1961 his neighbor killed his spouse and ate her.
Then on a boat his neighbor shouted, “Good-bye forever!”
and plunged into the river, drowning himself to death.
Hu says, at the time, the most severe area was not in Tianquan
County, but in Xingjing County and Lushan County.
Xingjing County was the worst.
50,000 out of a population of 90,000 died of starvation.
Hu says that according to his investigation,
he can refute the propaganda which says, “No people died
of starvation in Sichuan, and less than 1 million people died
in the entire country.”
Hu believes that, with the passage of time memories
of the three year Great Famine recede into the distance.
Some of the survivors have passed away, some were aging
but rarely did any publicize the facts.
Thus society gradually forgot the incident.
However, as witness and survivor, he takes responsibility
to tell young generations about his experiences of hardship.
Hu collected names of the deceased in the Sixth Canteen
during the three year Great Famine.
The list is a collection of names from the fifth, sixth
and seventh villages in Shiyang Township.
Tie Liu, China-based writer and a “Senior rightist” told NTD
that he was held in a labor camp during the Great Famine.
Tie Liu: “At that time, half the population
in the whole county died.
50% of people survived.
I was in a labor camp at Shatian farm.
My weight went from 60 kilograms to 40-45 kilograms.
In the beginning, one corpse had one designated hole
to be buried in.
Later, a dozen people were buried in one hole.
A friend of mine’s job was to bury corpses,
and he buried a dozen people a day.
Some people died of starvation,
it was a common phenomenon.”
Frank Dikotter, a Dutch historian and professor
at the University of Hong Kong published a book entitled,
“Mao’s Great Famine: The History of China’s Most
Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962.”
The book reveals that 45 million Chinese people died
during the famine years caused by Mao Zedong.
The book won the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2012
Soon, his assistant Zhou Xun, who was born in the 1970s
in Sichuan, wrote another book “The Great Famine in China,
1958-1962.”
The book was published by Yale University Press.
During Zhous research between 1996 and 2000,
he collected real data from tens of provincial-level
and county-level archive museums.
The data includes the cannibalism tragedy.
The great Chinese famine is still taboo amongst the CCP.
At present, officials are silent or even attempt to cover it up,
and even civilians are reluctant to mention this history.
Many families choose to remain silent although
their members died in the great famine.
Zhou Xun wonders, “Why do the world’s people know about
the Holocaust, but few people know about the great famine?
Being a historian, it is my duty, it is very important
to let people in the world know what happened in China.”
Although the CCP doesn’t want to admit how many millions
of people starved to death during the three year great famine,
Hu Qingsheng’s list told us that those people really
had been here in this world, but they died quietly.
Hu hopes the modern Chinese people can be honest
and bravely face history.
He hopes the victims can rest in peace.
