法庭上,张春桥为什么从头到尾一句话都不说?这个谜不但使许许多多的中国人感到困惑,也使许多的外国记者和朋友感到不解。一些国外的记者在评述时曾说,这是一个不愿回答任何问题和不愿为自己辩护的人。而我作为当年审判林彪、江青反革命集团案特别法庭审判员,却认为,这是一个在事实面前自认失败的人。其实,在开始时对他进行隔离审查初期,张春桥并不是这样,他还是张口说话的。对此,他曾写信给叶剑英元帅谈自己的思想。事情还得从头说起。 In court, why did not Zhang Chunqiao say anything from beginning to end? This mystery not only puzzled many Chinese, but also puzzled many foreign journalists and friends. In a review, some foreign journalists said that this is a person who is unwilling to answer any questions and is not willing to defend himself. As a judge of the Special Court for the trial of Lin Biao and Jiang Qing counterrevolutionary cliques in the same year, I thought that this was a man who failed to admit himself before the facts. In fact, Chang Chun-chiao did not do this at the beginning when he was isolated from the censors. He still spoke out. In this regard, he had written to Yeh Sun-cheng Marshal about their own ideas. Things have to start from scratch.
