中國最重要的攝影師李振盛先生，於美國紐約去世，享年79歲。
It is with a heavy heart that Contact Press Images announces the passing of our friend and colleague Li Zhensheng, the foremost chronicler of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. No single photographer covered the Revolution more thoroughly and completely than Li. His 2003 book “Red Color News Soldier (Phaidon) was translated into six languages and last year finally into modern Chinese when it was was published in Hong Kong. A year after publication the Overseas Press Club awarded the Olivier Rebbot Award (for books) to this book for extraordinary reporting from abroad.
Li secreted his “negative negatives” - the most damning evidence of the violent repression and denunciation of the revolution - under the floorboards of his home and methodically, after his children emigrated to the states and Li had a reason to visit them, he moved his negs, in several trips.
Li died in early June after a brief illness. He leaves an inestimable photographic legacy. More to come. He will be sorely missed.

「不記錄不存在！」李先生在極權天朝以一己之力，冒巨大生命風險，拍攝、留存兩萬多張文革照片，為瘋狂歷史留下個人見證，堪稱偉大。

「我為中國人民真實地記錄了文化大革命十年浩劫中具有獨特意義的影像，為全人類奉獻一批珍貴的歷史碎片。我為此感到欣慰。」

「忘記歷史，就沒法向前看。我們走過歷史，不能忘卻歷史，要反思歷史，才能走在更符合民意和民心的路上。記錄苦難，是為了苦難不再發生。記錄悲劇，是讓悲劇不再重演。」— 李振盛

「李振盛與7名「根紅苗正」的年輕人，成立「紅色青年戰鬥隊」，戴上「全國新聞界革命造反者總部」授予，印有毛澤東手筆的「紅色新聞兵」袖章，游走於批鬥會場，拍下許多文革「黑材料」。1968年秋天，他與妻子在住所的地板一角偷偷鋸開一個洞口，埋藏兩萬張菲林底片，直到1996年，他才陸續將照片底片帶到美國。」

「李振盛不朽的作品集是由大批判、處决、群眾的政治狂熱等照片構成的。儘管他無法完全理解當時發生的情况，卻用相機記錄下了一个個社會的崩潰、無理性的狂暴、瘋狂的崇拜和人性的淪喪。這些照片既有重要的歷史價值，又有很高的藝術價值。事實上，從某种意義上來說，李振盛是當今中國的英雄。」
——美國《紐約時報》（The New York Times）

攝影大師布列松曾經為李振盛的《紅色新聞兵》題詞：「我們都在用鏡頭為歷史留下見證，是記錄歷史的同路人。正是紀實攝影讓我們之間結下友誼，我以一名反暴力的無政府主義者的名義，向李振盛致以敬意！」

[愛國賊］

較早前我上載了昨晚在尖沙咀黑幫挑釁外國記者的影片，之後網友Max Goldman在城寨fb以英文留言，現翻譯為中文，供大家參考：

「親北京狂熱分子和網民形同一群頭腦發熱的「愛國者」，這群人不眠不休以歪曲，缺乏理據甚至劣質的論調譴責其他異見人士（或被視為非愛國者）。他們的腎上腺素容易曝升，怨憤隨時變成挑釁（肢體或網絡暴力；甚或兩者並行），有時甚至演變成盲目的暴力行為。但是，我懷疑被他們攻擊的外國人，是否真的說過任何辱華言論或作出抨擊中共的行為。

在香港，這羣偽愛國者是收到共產黨的指示，變成僱傭兵，與執法機關並肩作戰，有「真心膠」則認為，現在是雪恥「打鬼佬」的時候，他們沉迷在仇外情緒當中， 要真正了解他們，並不是聽其言，而是觀其行。

當一個滿手血腥的專制政權將暴政視為代表公義，繁榮穩定，慣用技倆就是靠所謂的經濟發展，吹噓所謂日益堅定的外交政策，捍衛國家主權和領土完整等，以此來自圓其説，並動輒以外國干涉內政等陰謀論作幌子，實情是大量的冷血共黨官僚侵吞國家資產，然後再轉移國外據為己有。

自1949中共執政以來，發動過無數暴力血腥的政治運動，這成為惡性循環，不單令共黨官僚徹底腐敗，更甚的是同時埋葬了整個國家的傳統文化、價值觀，公義和道德。」

Pro-Beijing zealots and netizens have somehow seemed as a horde of exhilarated "patriots" who would tirelessly harangue, and mostly rebuke, dissenters (or being regarded as non-patriots) with baseless, ill-founded and even ill-bred arguments. They always easily get adrenaline going and strive to turn a flurry of ire into (either physical, virtual or both) bullying and sometimes even mindless act of violence when they see any sort of denunciation of China in any degree. But I cast doubt on whether these foreigners had actually said or done anything to insult China or CCP.

In HK, some pseudo-patriots receive the party's decree, execute the orders alongside the law enforcement agencies and get paid, whereas others do truly and preposterously believe that it's time for them to pay foreign countries back for the century of humiliation despite some of their inner minds are obsessed with xenophilia in an extremely high degree - it's better to know the real temperament of a Chinese dude from what he does than what he says.

When a party with its roots in bloody history and autocratic regime has today to present itself as the bastion of justice, prosperity and stability, common tactics such as economic incentives, increasingly assertive foreign policies, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and conspiracy theories of foreign meddling are proved, at least temporarily, effectual for passing all bucks from their corrupted governance and for reining in an egotistic populace whose minds are utterly ingrained with inferiority complex and ruthlessness, as a replacement of traditional values and morality, over the course of many violent and self-inflicted sociopolitical movements ever since CCP came into power in 1949. In this vicious circle, not only are the regime and most officials perfectly corrupted but also a country's traditional cultural values, righteousness and morality are buried.
