Can we find a Way to forgive him as a sinful and coward Human being at a critical moment in history for speaking truth NOT?
It was at the beginning of 大躍進 -- 聽取意見 to make 決策 decision 的時候. When Chairman Mao consulted him 'whether 畝產萬斤 is possible', he actually answered 'Yes.'as a respectable and trustworthy scientist for both Chinese Leaders and Her People all over the entire country. His irresponsible corresponding might have directly caused (at least, encouraged) 大躍進的 Madness in 假,大,空,and thousands even by 10 thousands of Chinese People, especially farmers starved to death in consequent 三年饑荒。
他犯了 濫用abusing of 聲譽, 欺君, 殺人 之罪嗎?
這件事情上即使不會給他判個 '反革命罪', 也能給蓋上個 '害國,反(殺)人民罪'吧?
It has already made him 在公開場合(台麵上)耀武揚威,在私底下(人民家裏的桌麵上)卻為人不齒,即使沒有再繼續被怨恨著,象在更早(文革前後)的一些年裏了, no matter how much work he might have done for people & for the country, since one can only be saved by God's Grace not by Work Itself -- means, we can only be saved by the quality of our heart, how pure, how true and how close to God and Godly Love, not the quantity out of the things that we have done.
Although works may be winning people's praise for the time being at the moment, as we know, those works for 'good' words that people say, may hardly even last one or two generations before having been completely forgotten after all.
By asking for forgiveness on behalf of those 被草菅了的人命,和幾百萬的冤魂,may his family and friends live in peace instead of under his shadow from now on and many lives to come.
