阿纳德是美国独立战争初期的名将,曾在与英军作战时左腿受伤,但后来却因名利之争而一怒投降了英军,成了美国独立战争时期最大的叛徒。可美国人后来还是为他塑了像,纪念他在战争初期的英雄业绩。不过美国人只塑了他为国负伤的左腿!这倒让我想起近日网上关于施琅是民族英雄还是民族败类的争论。有评论者说,施琅的一生,没有忠义观念,先做明人,再做清将,又做明人,复做清将,反复小人一个,这样的人有什么资格作为民族英雄? Arnold was an early American star in the War of Independence. He was injured in the left leg when fighting with the British. However, he surrendered to the British in a furious wrangle between fame and fortune, becoming the biggest traitor to the American Revolutionary War. Americans can later still plastic like him, to commemorate his early heroic performance in the war. But Americans only molded his left leg that was wounded for the country! This reminds me of the recent controversy over whether Shi Lang is a national hero or a national scum. Some critics say Shi Lang’s life, there is no concept of loyalty, the first Ming people, and then do the generals, but also Ming people, to do the Qing general, repeatedly a villain, such a person what qualifications as a national hero?
