My Declaration on the Hypocritical Apology Made by Song Binbin and Liu Jin
By Wang Jingyao
August 5, 1966 afternoon, the Red Guards of the Girls’ School of BNU (Currently renamed BNU Lab School) attackedphysically Comrade Bian Zhongyun in name of “subduing her arrogance”. The Red Guards cruelly beat her up with clubs prickled with nails and brass-buckled belts. The brutality of their torture made onlookers’ hair stand on end!
Around 3 PM in the afternoon that day, Comrade BianZhongyun lay unconsciously on the ground with cuts and wounds all over her body. Her coma had caused fecal leakage and dilated pupils. Evidently she was dying. The Red Guards threw her on top of a tricycle, covered with dirty large-character posters and a canvas raincoat which I have kept to this day. For as long as five hours, the Red Guards of the Girls’ School refused to save her life (the Postal Services Ministry Hospital was just across the street). Not till 8 o’clock in the evening did they begin to move her to the hospital. By then it was impossible to revive her.
On August 18, 1966, thirteen days after the murder of Bian Zhongyun, Mao Zedong received representatives of Red Guards. Song Binbin, one of the leaders of Girls’ School of BNU, went up to the top of Tiananmen Pass. She put a Red Guard armband around Mao’s arm in honor of her school’s Red Guards. The armband was stained with the blood of Comrade Bian Zhongyun. Mao nevertheless told Song Binbin to be “militant”.
Since the day (8/18/1966), there were in Beijing 1,772 morepeople whom Red Guards beat to death, including many school teachers and principals.
48 years have passed since the murder of Bian. However, the culprits and perpetrators are still at large. The truth about “August 5 Incident” has been purposely covered.
On 1/12/2014, Song Binbin and Liu Jin made a hypocritical apology to the school leaders and their families, using as excuses their “inability to stop (beating)”, “inability to protect well (the victims)”, and “lack of knowledge about the Constitution and lack of legal consciousness” to rid themselvesof their responsibility for “August 5 Incident”.
Hereby, as widower, and comrade-in-arms of Comrade BianZhongyun, I solemnly declare:
1.
The Red Guards of Girls’ School of BNU are the perpetrators in murder of Comrade Bian Zhongyun!
2.
The Red Guards of Girls’ School of BNU have never tried to rescue Comrade Bian Zhongyun!
3.
I will never accept any hypocritical apologies made by the Red Guards of Girls’ School till the truth comes out about August 5 Incident!
The declaration is intended to make the point.
