Mr. Wen’s Quote (09) & (10)

Did I, Wen Qiang, ever take any bribery 30 years ago? They honored me as a hero. In fact, what I did was no more than hard working. Since they named me as a hero, I simply had to take it. Now they say that I am a criminal. How dare I not to assume the position of a criminal?

Officials at present are worse than those of the KMT Government. I am only one of them. What has turned me into someone like this is the Society, the System. The reason that I have said so much is not to put all the blame on others. I still should bear the major responsibility.

我文強30年前有沒有拿過一分錢的賄賂？當年他們說我是英雄，我其實隻是在賣力地工作而已，但他們叫我當英雄我就不能不當。現在他們又說我是罪犯，我敢不去當這個罪犯嗎？
現在的官員比國民黨還壞，我不過是其中一員罷了。把我變成這個樣子的是這個社會，這個製度。我說這麽多並不是要把所有責任都推給別人。我還是負主要責任的。
