你不看就会后悔的文章——处在转折点上的人类
王华祥
首先声明：我不是政治家，也不是政论家，更不是批评家。我也不是艺术家，我只是一个出于本能的担忧而关心人类命运的画家。关于冠状病毒的起源及各种说法，我认为我们都是看客，只有善良的愿望和吃瓜群众的大脑皮层反应，没有对错，也没有能力判断对错。但是从时间线索上看，美国制造和使用生化武器是有历史的，包括开了使用核武器的先例。从他全面遏制中国的角度来说，不择手段也是合理的，虽然我并不确定就是美国有意或者无意干的，或者是谁干的。其实具体事实本身不重要，我看重的是更宏观的事实。

被西方称为国家资本主义的中国，其巨大力量是私人资本主义无法抗衡的（对疫情的管控就是证明），他们的智库和一切党派都看到：再不摧毁中国就来不及了。事实也是，可能美式旧制度气数已尽，除非他们克制不惹脑中俄。虽然中国能否打赢不知道，但是不同于中东和前苏联的种族、信仰和意识形态之争，中美两方的精英知道：文化，信仰口号都是金钱和权力的工具，美中之战有如春秋战国时代的群雄争霸，美国发现霸主可能易位。所以，一切手段皆有可能。而小国，弱国最终都会选择观望，以备跟随新的霸主。也许，正如官媒所说：是美国把中国逼成了他的敌人，而这个有着百年伤痛记忆的国家已经决定冒死一战，而美国并不打算硬碰硬真打（打小国可以），因为那样大的代价不符合资本的天性。

打，可能，这是美国的宿命。也是中国的宿命。但是，也有一种好的可能，或者说是我希望有一种好的可能，那就是都觉得你死我活或者两败俱伤不值得，那么互相妥协互相谅解，商量竞争与合作的游戏规则，就像UFC世界搏击比赛，谁赢谁输都可以，出发点不是为了干死对方。如果中美两方有此大胸怀和大格局，真的把人类看成命运共同体，那就是人类的福气了。否则，中美，俄欧，中东，日韩，印巴都打起来，那就可能是人类气数已尽，人类的末日到了。我们应该阻止这种情况的发生。

Don’t Miss the Article — Humans at a Turning Point
First of all, I am not a politician, nor a political commentator, not even a critic. I am not an artist either. I''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''m just a painter who cares about the fate of human beings instinctively.
Regarding the origin and various claims of the coronavirus (novel coronavirus), I think we are all spectators, with our fingers crossed and the cerebral cortex response of rubberneck. There is no right or wrong, nor do we have the ability to judge true or false.
However, in terms of time clues, the United States has a history of manufacturing and using biochemical weapons, as well as setting a precedent for the use of nuclear weapons. From the perspective of this country’s overall containment of China, it is also reasonable for it to use all means, though I am not sure whether this epidemic was caused by the U.S., or any other force or group, either intentionally or unintentionally. The truth itself is not important. I pay attention to the more general facts. That is, China, known as the state capitalism in the West, has a huge power that is beyond the reach of private capitalism (the management and control of the epidemic is proof). Think tanks and all parties of the U.S. have seen that it is too late to destroy China.
Indeed, maybe the old American system is exhausted unless they refrain from offending China and Russia. While it is unknown whether China can win, but different from the Middle East and the former Soviet Union’s struggle in races, beliefs and ideologies, the elites of both China and the United States know that culture and slogans are tools of money and power. The battle between China and the United States is like the battles for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period*. The U.S. finds its hegemony may be replaced.
Therefore, all means are possible. Small and weak nations will eventually choose to wait and see in preparation for following the new hegemony. Perhaps, as the official media said: It was the United States that forced China to become its enemy. And this country with acentury of wounded memory has decided to take the fight, while the United States does not plan to confront the tough with toughness (except for facingsmall countries), because such a large price does not conform to the nature of capital.
Maybe there will be a war. This is the fate of the United States, as well as China’s destiny. However, there is also a positive possibility, a possibility that exists in my wishes. When both countries feel that it is not worth fighting internecine, they will compromise and understand each other, discussing the rules of competition and cooperation. Just like the UFC World Fighting Competition, both victories and defeats are acceptable. The players’ starting point is not to kill each other.
If China and the United States have such a big heart and a big pattern, truly regarding humanity as a community of destiny, then it can be the blessing of mankind. Otherwise, if there are wars between China, the United States, Russia, Europe, Middle East, Japan, Korea, India, and Pakistan, it may mean that we run out of our luck, and the end of humankind has come. We should prevent this from happening.
