【禁闻】《南都》悼汶川死难者 致敬艾未未

【新唐人2011年5月14日讯】《南方都市报》在5月12号发表社论，纪念5．12四川大地
震三周年。文章在悼念逝者的同时，也向发起调查死难学生名单的艺术家艾未未致敬。
虽然文章没有直接提到艾未未的名字，但是很快遭到删除，不过，社论也被大量转
载，支持者还把文章制成短片上网。

《南方都市报》的这篇社论题为《躺在时间的河流上怀念他们》，中山大学中文系教授
艾晓明将这篇文章朗诵后，加上音乐人左小祖咒的配乐，制成短片放到网上。

「我们答应过要念念不忘，要生生不息。我们做了很多，又做得太少。迷途不返的
人，你们在哪里？我们点燃的光能否照亮你们的路？我们无法做得更多，只好摆上铁做
的十二生肖，敬上瓷做的瓜子，像征且祭奠你们凝固了的生命。」

《南都》这篇社论见报后，网路版社论被大量转载。因为没有直接提到艺术家艾未未的
名字，只提到「铁做的十二生肖」和「瓷做的瓜子」，社论刊出后并没有被封杀，但是
中午过后这篇文章被删除了。

复制「圆明园十二生肖兽首」以及「陶瓷葵瓜子」都是艾未未的艺术作品。目前这两件
作品都在英国展出。

据艾未未工作室不完全统计，在四川大地震中，有五千多名学生因为豆腐渣工程校舍坍
塌而失去生命。

《念念不忘》是艾未未去年5．12期间发起的纪念活动。他公布死难学生名单，邀请网
友读出与自己同姓的学生名字。艾未未曾坚持两年，在每一天的凌晨零点，在他的推特
帐号上，发布当天生日的死难学生名字，并祝他们「生日快乐」。

艾未未工作室志愿者刘艳萍向《新唐人》表示，艾未未的名字已经和5．12受难学生紧
紧连在一起。

刘艳萍：「我觉得（《南都》）写作的『十二生肖'和『瓷瓜子'，比较明显的应该是指
艾未未吧。因为一提起5．12，很多人都会想起艾未未。他近几年做的这些公民调
查，调查学生的名单。所以艾未未这个名字其实是和5．12连在一起的。」

尽管艾未未被抓，工作室人员仍然合力完成了一部记录片（5．12三周年家长访谈
），记录遇难学生家长上访的历程。许多�京上访的家长慕名来到艾未未工作室，讲述
他们的辛酸经历。

刘艳萍：「因为艾老师长期在做学生名单，所以有一些家长知道他，而且现在为学生说
话，为家长说话的人真的不多，所以他们来一次北京也非常不容易，然后我们就会对他
们做一个采访，把他们这几年的经历讲一讲，然后我们就会把他拍摄下来，然后在
5．12三周年之前我们也把这个视频传到网上，希望能有更多人看到。」

汶川地震后，当局不愿公布死难学生数字和名单。没有任何一个建造豆腐渣工程的责任
人被追究，没有任何一座坍塌校舍建筑的调查报告被公开，甚至根本没有做鉴定。艾未
未因此发起公民调查，派志愿者深入灾区调查死难学生名单、学校和班级。

但是调查行动遭到警方阻挠和打压。参与调查者之一的四川环保人士谭作人去年被抓判
刑。艾未未如今也身陷囹圄。

Southern Metropolis Daily mourns earthquake victims and honors Ai Weiwei

Southern Metropolis Daily published an editorial onMay 12 for the 3-year
anniversary of Sichuan earthquake.The editorial mourned for the victims and
paid tribute toAi Weiwei, who investigated on student casualties.Though the
editorial did not mention Ai Weiwei's name,it was deleted soon, it is
already circulated widely.Supporters even made it into an online video.

This editorial from Southern Metropolis Daily is titled"To remember them
while lying on the river of time."Ai Xiaoming, a professor from Zhongshan
Universityread this article and made it into an online videowith the music
from a musician 'Zuoxiaozuzhou.'

"We promise not to forget. We want to prosper also.We have done much, but
still too little.Those who have been lost, where are you now?Can our light
illuminate your path? We could do nothingbut bring the iron zodiac and
ceramic sunflower seedsto symbolize and mourn your solidified life."

After this editorial from Southern Metropolis Dailywas published, its
online vision was widely reprinted.Because the editorial didn't mention Ai
Weiweibut only the "iron zodiac" and "ceramicsunflower seeds", it was not
deleted until afternoon.

The replica of "Yuanmingyuan's twelve zodiac heads"and "ceramic sunflower
seeds" are Ai Weiwei'sart pieces which are now displayed in the UK.

According to Ai Weiwei Studio's incomplete statistics,over 5,000 students
died in the Sichuan Earthquakebecause of the collapse of shabby school
buildings.

"Never forget" is an activity started by Ai on May 12last year. He
published the list of students killed inthe earthquake and invited netizens
to read thosenames. For two years, every morning at 12 AM,Ai published the
names of the dead who are onbirthday that day and wished them "happy
birthday."

Liu Yanping, a volunteer in Ai Weiwei Studio,told New Tang Dynasty TV that
the name ofAi Weiwei is tightly connected tothe students killed in the
earthquake.

Liu Yanping: "I think the 'twelve zodiac' and 'ceramicsunflower seeds' in
Southern Metropolis Daily'seditorial obviously refer to Ai Weiwei. Many
peoplewill think of Ai Weiwei when the 5.12 earthquake ismentioned, and
also his public investigations duringthese years and the list of students,
so Ai Weiwei'sname is connected with the 5.12 earthquake."

Although Ai Weiwei was arrested, people from hisstudio still managed to
complete a documentary"An interview with victims' parents on the
three-yearanniversary of 5.12", which recorded the bitternessof appealing
to the authorities. Many parents cameto the studio and talked about their
bitter experiences.

Liu Yanping: "Because Ai has been working on thestudent list, many parents
know about him.Now few people are willing to speak for the students.We
interviewed the parents considering theirhard trip to Beijing…Then we put
the video ontothe website before the three-year anniversary of5.12
earthquake and hope more people will see it."

After Wenchuan earthquake, the authorities refusedto publish the number or
list of students killed in theearthquake. Nobody was punished or blamed for
theshabby school buildings and no investigation reportson the collapsed
buildings were released.The authorities did not even attempt to
investigate.So, Ai Weiwei started the public investigation andsent
volunteers to the stricken regions to collectstudents' names, schools and
classes.

However, the investigation was interrupted by police.Tan Zuoren, a Sichuan
environmental activist whoparticipated in the investigation was jailed last
year.Now Ai Weiwei also disappeared.
