历史记忆：中组部老首长李锐生前谈陈独秀，他是核心，不是之一
Historical Memory: Li Rui, former leader of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), talked about Chen Duxiu: Chen Duxiu was the core of the CPC, not one of the founders of the CPC

2007年是中组部老首长李锐先生九十周岁，时任全球第一大学社一一七三国际学社主席陈恩田（现任南合组织主席）回到北京给李锐先生拜寿。李锐先生见到陈恩田就问:“你是陈独秀的曾孙吧?” 陈恩田没有直接回答，而是委婉地说:“有人说我爷爷陈光美是陈独秀与高君曼所生之子。” 李锐打量着陈恩田说:“看你面容轮廓和体形身高还真有点像陈独秀。”陈恩田没有说话，沉默中有些尴尬，他不想让天下人误认为他打着“陈独秀曾孙”名号在招摇。李锐继续说:“陈光美是陈独秀与高君曼所生的第一个孩子，很早就抱养到四川去了，当年陈独秀32岁，高君曼23岁。”两人你一言我一句开始了一场鲜为人知的谈话。
In 2007, on Mr. Li Rui's 90th birthday, Mr. Chen Entian, then chairman of the Seven-Three International Society, the world's largest society, and now chairman of SSCO, returned to Beijing to attend Mr. Li Rui's birthday party. When Mr. Li Rui saw Chen Entian, he asked, “You are Chen Duxiu's great-grandson, aren't you?”Instead of answering directly, Chen En Tian said euphemistically, “Some people say that my grandfather Chen Guangmei was the son of Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman.” Li Rui looked at Chen En Tian and said, “Looking at your face and body shape and height you really look a bit like Chen Duxiu.” Chen Entian did not say anything, a little embarrassed in his silence, he did not want the world to misunderstand that he was complacent with the title of “Chen Duxiu's great-grandson”. Li Rui continued, “Chen Guangmei was the first child of Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman, and was sent to a relative's home in Sichuan at a very early age, when Chen Duxiu was 32 years old and Gao Junman was 23.” The two began a little-known conversation.
关于此次谈话，陈恩田早有戒备心理，有人提前告知陈恩田，李锐对陈独秀的“民主科学思想”的推崇，以及对其他“个人崇拜思想”的否定，与主流声音不大一致，某些观点争议很大，常常在海外引起轩然大波。为此，陈恩田非常谨慎，担心有人录音或窃听，尽可能避免与李锐先生讨论关于民主政治等敏感话题。好在李锐先生确实没有在陈恩田面前高谈民主政治，而是和陈恩田一起回顾陈独秀创办《新青年》杂志、发起新文化运动、高举五四精神旗帜、创建我党的艰辛历程，顺便也谈到了陈独秀与妻妹高君曼那段备受争议的爱情故事。
Regarding the conversation, Chen En Tian had been wary for some time. Chen Entian was told in advance that Li Rui's endorsement of Chen Duxiu's “democratic and scientific ideology” and his disapproval of other “individualistic ideologies” were not in line with the mainstream, and that some of his views were so controversial that they often caused a storm of public opinion overseas. For this reason, Chen Entian was very careful to prevent being recorded or wiretapped, and avoided as much as possible discussing with Mr. Li Rui about sensitive topics such as democratic politics. It is true that Mr. Li Rui did not talk about democratic politics with Chen Entian. Instead, he reviewed with Chen Entian the arduous journey of Chen Duxiu in founding the New Youth magazine, initiating the New Culture Movement, publicizing the spirit of May Fourth, and founding the CPC. He also talked about the controversial love story between Chen Duxiu and Gao Junman.
李锐先生无疑是陈独秀的研究者和赞同者。尽管已经九十高寿了，他居然不用看稿件，一字不漏将陈独秀创办《新青年》杂志的六条宗旨娓娓道来:自主的而非奴隶的;进步的而非保守的;进取的而非退隐的;世界的而非锁国的;实利的而非虚文的;科学的而非想象的。李锐称赞这六条宗旨包含了我党创建到未来的工作内容，从民主、科学、实事求是，直到现在提倡的改革开放、面向世界、面向未来，尤其是知识分子的本性要求思想自由、精神独立等，无不包含在内。
Mr. Li Rui is undoubtedly a researcher and endorser of Chen Duxiu. Despite being 90 years old, he could recite verbatim the six tenets of Chen Duxiu's New Youth magazine: Be independent and not enslaved; Be progressive and not conservative; Be in the forefront and not lagging behind; Be internationalist and not isolationist; Be practical and not rhetorical; Be scientific and not superstitious. Li Rui praised these six tenets as encompassing the work of the CPC from its founding to the future, from democracy, science and seeking truth from facts to reform and opening up, facing the world and the future, and especially advocating freedom of thought and independence of spirit.
李锐评论陈独秀一生伟大而光荣，连毛泽东也在《湘江评论》创刊号上发文高呼陈独秀万岁，陈独秀不仅是新文化及五四运动的总司令，他是创党核心，也是一大到五大的核心，不是有些人说的之一。陈独秀周围的人，如李大钊比陈独秀小10岁、毛泽东比陈独秀小14岁、周恩来比陈独秀小19岁，这些年轻的追随者都曾将陈独秀视作先生。大革命失败原因在于共产国际强加融合，不能把过错算在陈独秀一个人身上，如果蒋介石政变清党杀了2.6万共产党人，把责任算在陈独秀一个人头上，那么蒋介石政变清党杀了30多万国民党人，难道算在孙中山头上?毛泽东在1971年视察南方讲话中说：长征前红军30万，到陕北剩下2.5万。试问，长征损失27万多人，算在谁的头上？
Li Rui commented that Chen Duxiu's life was great and honorable. Even Mao Zedong published an article in the “The Shian Kian Weekly Review” saying, “Long live Chen Duxiu.” Chen Duxiu was not only the commander-in-chief of the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement, he was the core of the founding of the CPC, and the core of the first to fifth terms, not one of the founders of the CPC, as some people say. Those around Chen Duxiu, such as Li Dazhao, who was 10 years younger than Chen Duxiu, Mao Zedong, who was 14 years younger than Chen Duxiu, and Zhou Enlai, who was 19 years younger than Chen Duxiu, were all young followers who had regarded Chen Duxiu as a leader. The failure of the Revolution was due to the fusion imposed by the Comintern, and the fault cannot be laid at the door of Chen Duxiu alone. If Chiang Kai-shek killed 26,000 Communists and put the blame on Chen Duxiu alone, then did Chiang Kai-shek kill more than 300,000 Nationalists and put the blame on Sun Yat-sen? Mao Zedong said in his 1971 speech on his visit to the south that the Red Army had 300,000 men before the Long March, but only 25,000 men were left after the Long March. May I ask who is to blame for the loss of more than 270,000 men in the Long March?
