蒋彦永,时代周刊年度风云人物

Post @ 23:49 in

蒋彦永获选时代周刊年度风云人物(Power Who Mattered 2003),同时获选的还有Arnold普金金正日等等。而今年时代周刊的年度人物给了美国大兵!对于时代周刊的Person of the Year我一直不太感冒,美国人经常以他自己意识形态以及立场判断强奸全世界的人民,而今年的封面人物反映得尤为强烈。为什么选美国大兵作为风云人物而不是受苦受难的伊拉克人民呢!不过作为Power who mattered 2003,看到蒋彦永先生名列其中,却有几分意外和欣慰。一个政府不但要维系政权,更重要的是维护人权!听说蒋先生自SARS事件后已被军方采取了某些措施。空穴来风,未必无音,希望对这位73岁老人能够人道些。向蒋彦永先生致敬!

When SARS hit China in 2002, the regime sought to squash the news. By April 2003, SARS may have infected thousands, but some hospitals emptied their SARS wards when U.N. health officials visited. Retired army doctor Jiang couldn't bear the cover-up and told TIME and other outlets the truth. Finally, the Health Ministry began an education campaign that helped contain the killer virus.

The Google guys也入选了2003年的年度风云人物榜. Google可以说是2003互联网上最闪亮的明星, IPO的发行将把它推入另一个高峰. 左起Larry Page, Eric Schmidt 和 Sergey Brin
