On April 3,the Chinese authorities secretly nabbed the artist Ai Weiwei.Now,in the dark of night,they've taken away Confucius.
Last January,an imposing 31 foot-high statue of Confucius was erected with great fanfare right on Chang'an Avenue in the heart of Beijing.In a part of the capital where everything is highly symbolic,the statue stood right in front of the renovated National Museum (which used to be called The Museum of the Revolution) just across from Mao's portrait hanging over the gate to the Forbidden City and next to Mao's mausoleum.
On Friday,the statue was mysteriously seized and taken away,just like Ai Weiwei.
Protesting Ai Weiwei's kidnapping by the authorities,the "father" of China's democratic movement,Wei Jingsheng,wrote this last week:
Since this happened to one of China's most well-known cultural figures,it has prompted many to remember the opening shots of the Cultural Revolution,when the Maoist regime removed ideologically inconvenient artists,writers and intellectuals from the scene at will without even any pretense to legal procedures.
After the long march toward the rule of law China has been tentatively treading since the end of the Mao era,this return to outright lawlessness is shocking even to a hardened dissident like me.If the authorities can detain a figure of such stature arbitrarily and hold him incommunicado as long as they want with no access to family or legal counsel,then no one in China is safe from the whims and anxieties of those in power.
He is right.Not even Confucius is safe.
