去附近的“步瑞祺电脑城”,正在柜台看耳机时,有人拍了拍我的肩膀。我一看,是个陌生的30多岁的穿着休闲服的人。他问“ 老管吗?”我说“是”。他说“借一步说话。”我有些诧异,又有些想笑,心想:这人还比较文明。我问道“你认识我吗?”他说“你不是管党生吗?”我说“是 ”,他扶着我胳膊说“没有找错”。然后把我带到门口,说“我是市公安局的,想找你了解些事情,请配合一下”,并掏出来“人民警察证”给我看了一下,里面名 字还没有看清楚,他就收了起来。说实话,我当时的第一个念头就是想跑。但是,一方面他强“扶”着我胳膊,一方面感觉跑也没有什么意思,何况以前也有过类似 的事情。
I was there in the computer store looking for a set of earphones. Some patted on my shoulder. I turned around and found a 30-year-old man in sportswear. He asked, “Mr. Guan?” “Yes,” I replied. “May we go out for a talk?” asked he. I got surprised, while feeling funny meanwhile, thinking, “he is a well-mannered guy.”…. he carried my shoulder, saying “you are who I want”, and then took me to the gate.
“I am from the city Public Security department”, he said, “I just want to make sure of something, please work with me.”…..honestly, the first idea came to me is to escape. But first, he clutched my shoulder, and second, I don't think running would be of any help. Moreover, this is not unfamiliar to me.
The author was then taken outside the door, and invited to a guest box in a restaurant. A talk, apparently friendly but actually tit-for-tat and strained, followed.
“我们开门见山吧。最近你比较活跃啊。”
“哪些方面?”
“最近签名比较多啊”
沉默……
“零八宪章看过没有?还有那个《营救刘晓波博士告全国人民书》?”
“看过”
“签名了没有?”
“签名了”
“好,谁让你签名的?”
“自己”
“在哪里看见的?”
“网上”
“哪个网?”
“到处都有”
“你知不知道问题很严重?”
“不知道”
“你怎么和刘晓波搞到一起去了?怎么认识他的?”
“我没有和刘晓波搞到一起去,也基本不认识他。”
“那为什么要声援营救他?”
“Let’s make it open. You are active recently.”
“In what way?”
“Make a lot of signatures.”
I remained silent.
“Have you seen the 08 Charter? And the Letter to People on Rescuing Liu Xiaobo?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Signed them?”
“Yes.”
“Who made you to do so?”
“Myself.”
“When did you find the Charter?”
“On the internet.”
“Which website?”
“Everywhere. “
“Do you know it is a big problem?”
“No.”
“How did you get connected with Liu Xiaobo?”
“I didn’t. I don’t know him a lot.”
“So why support him?”
The author gave a long reply this time,
“因为从80年代起我就喜欢他的文章,还有我认为零八宪章只是表达当代民主政治的基本原则和价值追求,对促进中国民主法治有很大促进作用,代表着很大一部分人的政治理想,为这个抓人是没有道理的。从法律上讲,宪法明确规定保障每个人的言论自由权利”
“你怎么知道抓他是因为零八宪章的?”
“那是因为什么?
Since 1980s I have been fond of his essays. Also, I think Charter 08 is just advocating some basic principles and pursuit of certain values of democracy. It will facilitate the progress of the Chinese legal system. The charter speaks for the political ideal of many of us. To arrest people for its sake makes no sense. The constitution guarantees our freedom of speech.
“How do you know that Liu was detained for the 08 Charter?”
“Then for what?”
He was silent this time.
Finally, after making sure that the author knew little about who are running the movement and how it was done, the detective let him go. The author commented at the end of the blog entry:
出来以后,我想中国的公安有时工作效率还是比较高的。譬如对“零八宪章”。如果把这效率用在反腐败上多么好。
也许是杞人忧天。为了防止我突然“消失”,我还是把今天的事情写了出来。
现在外面是晴天,还是老话:我坚信乌云遮不住太阳。
Coming out, I have been thinking how efficient the Chinese police could be. If such efficiency could be used for anti-corruption, what a wonderful world will it be.
Maybe it is a needless worry, but in fear that I suddenly “disappear”, I write down what happened to me today.
It is sunny outside. And it goes as the old saying tells: I believe the cloud can never block out sunlight.
