Reflections in Water and Mirrors Reversing the Tide of Destiny

評赫魯雪夫
A Critique of Nikita Kruschev

宣公上人講於舊金山金山聖寺1986年5月2日 Essay, verses, and commentary by Venerable Master Hua at Gold Mountain Monastery, May 2, 1986
編輯部 英譯 English Translation by Editorial Staff

蘇聯民風,粗暴狂野,淫欲成性。故政治人物,多數橫行無忌,一意孤行,膽大妄為,不計後果,於其故總理赫魯雪夫,可見一斑。赫魯雪夫妄為自用,與中國斷絕邦交,造成孤立後果,甚至勢成水火。屢犯邊疆(如珍寶島事件),垂翅敗歸,貽羞國際,識者笑之。尤其脫靴拍臺,大鬧聯合國,怒罵美利堅,言語粗俗,可見無知之至!乃至死後,受人鞭屍,悲夫!

註解
這是評論誰呢?評論以前的政治人物赫魯雪夫。這赫魯雪夫是蘇聯的人。蘇聯這個國家,國際間都稱它為北極熊;北極熊就是Bear,在北邊的熊。這熊是很厲害的,可是熊厲害是厲害,但是牠是很愚癡很笨的。怎麼個笨法呢?熊吃包米是牠拿了兩個,貪拿多一點,可是牠站起來用這個爪子把包米拿下,放在腋下;另一個爪子伸出去抓第二個包米,這第一個就掉了。又拿一個夾到一個腋下,本來夾在腋下的包米就掉了下來。牠就這樣邊摘邊丟,等從這個包穀的壟頭子外邊走到最後,腋下這地方就夾著兩個,牠也不知道,就是那麼愚癡。

蘇聯的民風很粗暴,不講禮貌,常常都發狂的。淫欲成性,性子都很不守規矩,到什麼地方男的都一定要找女人的。到了中國,你猜猜怎麼樣?到了一問:「馬達姆,馬達姆。」馬達姆就是女人的意思。那個女人就站到他的後面,他也看不見。他這麼一站,這個女人這邊一站;他動一下,這女人站在他後邊他也不知道。你看這笨不笨?可見他是比較遲鈍,很容易就可以把他騙了。那麼要是一個聰明人,後面有人怎麼樣也會知道的,他就不知道。其實人就可以把他騙了,他就這樣子,像熊吃包穀一樣的。

政治人物有好一點的,這個國家政治人物多數橫行無忌,不守規矩的。橫行,他願意怎麼做就怎麼做,誰講他,他也不聽,毫不忌憚,不顧一切一意孤行。他願意唯我獨尊,不聽旁人的話。一意孤行膽大妄為,他膽子很大,就像熊膽那麼大。熊是不怕人的,見了人,可以把人的面子的肉都吃了,人就沒有臉了。臉到哪兒去了?被黑瞎子舔去了。黑瞎子就是熊,舌頭上有刺,一舔人的臉,人的臉也就沒有了。膽大妄為,不計後果。他不想一想將來後果會怎麼樣。於其故總理赫魯雪夫可見一斑。怎麼說他呢?因為由他們的政治領袖,這個總理赫魯雪夫可見一斑。

赫魯雪夫妄為自用,狂妄得不得了,只知道有自己,不知道有旁人;很愚癡,他不聽旁人的話與中國斷絕邦交。他一意孤行和中國脫離關係沒有邦交,互相不作朋友成為敵人,造成孤立後果。那時候中國一直要打他,他也要打中國,互相兩面孤立。本來鄰邦應該要作朋友才對,他變成了敵人,所以互相孤立。他為什麼呢?他就以為中國沒有他就不行了。可是這也是中國的幸運。如果那時候不撤退,恐怕全中國都會便成了蘇聯的了,現在沒有中國啦!再說撤退了,中國才知道防備他,知道孤立後果。甚至勢成水火他和中國兩個像水火似的不能相容。

兩國斷交後,他屢次侵犯中國邊疆,常常來打仗。中國在珍寶島他的兵被中國兵抓了很多,也打敗了。後來他看不行了,這回打不贏。

The Russian people have a nature that is wild and rough, and they are given to promiscuity. The majority of their political leaders behave in a tyrannical and egotistic fashion, insisting on having their own way. Au- dacious and reckless, they have no regard for the consequences of their actions. The late Premier Nikita Kruschev is one such example. Incorrigible and bombastic, making decisions without consulting others, he severed relations with China, resulting in an alienation that made the two nations as incompatible as fire and water. On many occasions the Russian army encroached upon Chinese territory such as in the Treasure Island Incident. However, in the end Kruschev met with defeat and retreated to his own country, with his tail between his legs. He incurred shame and disgrace in international circles, and invited the scorn of sensible people. Once he made a scene in the the United Nations, during which he took off his shoe and banged it on the table, furiously slandering America. His vile ranting reflected the extent of his ignorance. After his death, his body was whipped-how tragic!

Commentary:
This is a short critique of the political leader Nikita Kruschev of the Soviet Union. In international circles, the Soviet Union is known as the polar bear. Although the polar bear is so fierce and strong that even tigers fear it, none- theless, it is quite dumb. For instance, in a corn field, the bear will try to grab one ear of corn with one of his paws and stick it underneath his other armpit. But by this time, the corn underneath the first armpit has fallen on the ground. The bear picks up the corn with one paw, but he loses the corn with the other. By the time he gets to the end of the cornfield, he is still in possession of only one ear of corn.

The Russian people have a nature that is wild and rough. They are rough and impolite. And they are given to promiscuity. They do not follow the rules or the moral precepts. The men look for women everywhere they go. When they were in China, they went everywhere asking for "Madam, madam," which means woman. A Russian man would not notice any woman standing behind him. He would still be oblivious even if he turned around. Would you say these Russian men are stupid or not? Basically if a young man had someone behind him, he would at least notice, but these Russian men would not, and so they are easily fooled.

The majority of their political leaders behave in a tyrannical and egotistic fashion. Most of them are unruly, disregarding the rules and acting in whatever way they want to. They refuse to listen to other people's advice, and behave in an uninhibited fashion, with no regard for anyone else. Insisting on having their own way. They behave like dictators, and are audacious and reckless. They have a lot of gall. Bears are like that too; they are very brave and not afraid of people. Bears can in fact devour the flesh on people's faces. This is because there are thorns on the bear's tongue. All they have to do is lick a person's face, and that person's face will be gone. These political lead- ers have no regard for the consequences of their actions. They do not consider the effects of their actions. The late premier Nikita Kruschev is one such example. He was a typical case.

Incorrigible and bombastic-the deceased former premier was wild and irrational to the extreme. He only knew about himself; he had no idea that there were other people. Although he was stupid, he refused to listen to other people. He severed relations with China. He cut off all relations with China-they were not going to be friends anymore, thus resulting in an alienation. This intensified into a situation where China wanted to go to war with Russia, and Russia wanted to go to war with China. Basically, as neighbors they should have been friends, but now they became enemies. This state of antagonism was all Kruschev's making. Why did he do this? He thought China would not be able to do anything without him. This, one could say, was the good fortune of China. Because if China had not backed off and recalled her troops at that time, it is to be feared that China would have fallen into the hands of the Russians, and there would not be any China right now. It was fortunate that China recalled her troops, and knew to take precautions. The two nations were pitted against each other and were incompatible as fire and water. Fire and water cannot exist side by side, and they could not tolerate each other.

On many occasions, the Russian army encroached upon the Chinese territory, such as the Treasure Island Incident. Soviettroops often attacked the Chinese border. For instance, in Treasure Island, many of the Soviet troops were captured by the Chinese. And later on they were defeated. Khruschev realized he was not going to win, so he stopped To be continued
