地震瘋人院:2008.5.12,四川大地震記事

Rate this book
2008年5月12日,四川大地震發生,廖亦武開始逐日撰寫《大地震記事》,在《民主中國》連載,數家中文網站轉載,影響廣泛。他先後去都江堰、聚源鎮、紫坪鋪、映秀、安縣、北川等地震重災區實地採訪,這是一個地震中的底層社會,老天爺讓他必須給後人留下記錄。對他在地震期間的行蹤和文字,美國《巴黎評論》、《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》、《芝加哥評論》,法國《世界報》、《解放報》,英國BBC,日本《朝日新聞》、《產經新聞》等均做了報導和翻譯轉載。

這是一部將四川地震災期中的衆生相活生生保留下來的圖文實錄,很欽佩卡普辛斯基的廖亦武雖不具備那位波蘭官派記者的歷史意識和全球視野,但卻以他敢吃腐肉的胃口和翻遍垃圾堆的毅力。他的日記和攝影為我們保留了從映秀鎮到北川那奧蘭城(見卡繆《鼠疫》)一般封閉的絕望和死亡,那馬奎斯《愛在瘟疫蔓延時》一樣裸露的恐懼和焦慮,在央視節目廣而告之的溫總理流眼淚和胡書記發慰問之類救災花絮的鏡頭外,廖亦武這部書的確為我們搶救出了被官方自始至終以造假、虛飾和種種救災表演作掩蓋而活埋掉的大地瘡痍和人間潰瘍。

廖亦武的大地震紀實把我們的閲讀引向多次潛入災區搶拍實況的歷險記,以及一路上如何蒙混闖關的緊張行程。三年大飢荒和唐山大地震被禁絕了這樣的搶救,因而無數的真實都被官方像埋掉屍首一樣永遠地隱瞞滅跡了。三千萬或二十四萬的死亡數字畢竟只是數字,缺少了現場和實情的記錄,自然就削弱了對中共罪行的見證。但在去年的四川地震救災過程中,中共當局的封鎖與掩蓋已明顯地捉襟見肘了。四面八方的人員都進入了災區,都展開了各自搶救實況的工作,有很多很多有心人,都做了類似廖亦武和他的同伴所做的事情。你讀了廖亦武這部新書,即可窺一斑而知全豹,以你個人的知曉完成了對真實的搶救。
