紫蓝弯刀

今年，是“六四”二十三周年。

目前的中國，暗潮涌动，势不可遏。愈平历史创伤，解开“六四”死结的契机，已经隐然呈现。其不可抗拒性，各个阶层、各种利益集团甚至中共高层本身，都意识到了。“六四”不获正义，亡魂不暝，国运不靖，国难未已；而拖欠愈久，代价愈大。事至今日，萬竅風生，是时候了。

然历史恩怨，盘根错节，纠结深广。如何解决六四问题，是庞博复杂的政治法律过程，是中国转型正义的枢纽。它需要参考世界历史在此类问题上的丰富经验教训，需要考察不同立场和原则、解决时机和步骤所带来的不同政治社会文化结果，权衡比较，折冲樽俎，高瞻远瞩。需要极高的智慧，集思广益，疏解人心，导正历史。其成败利钝，都将影响深远。

有鉴于此历史临界点所嘱托的责任，《议报》（公民力量）、《北京之春》和《纵览中国》三家杂志社决定联合公开有奖征文，希望各界人士从不同的角度和立场对如何解决“六四”问题发表看法，广拓空间，贡献睿见，以启迪思考。有奖征文活动于4月15日正式开始至8月15日结束。投稿一经接受将由《议报》、《中国之春》和《纵览中国》同时发表，获刊登文章将获得正常稿酬。三家杂志社将从发表的征文中评选出一、二、三等奖文章若干，分别发放1000美元、500美元、300美元的奖金。9月1日将公布获奖名单。

我们希望听到关于“如何解决六四问题”的建设性和创造性意见。期待您的参与，征文请发往：[email protected]

Tiananmen International Essay Contest
This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. The changes that have occurred in China over the past 23 years have brought both hope and crisis to Chinese politics and society. However, many fundamental issues of reform are inextricably linked with unsettled historical issues which make true reform hard to achieve. Among these historical issues, the Tiananmen Massacre is the most essential. To meaningfully move forward with fundamental economic and political reform, China needs a full and public reckoning of these tragic events in order to break through this political deadlock. 
The Chinese people, including the communist party leaders, know that the Tiananmen issue will be addressed sooner or later. But there is no clear path or consensus on how to achieve both political and social reconciliation on this subject. In fact, it is commonly recognized that solving the Tiananmen issue is a complicated political-legal process. Diverse views on the principles, timing and processes of such a reconciliation may result in different approaches that manifest different political, social and cultural outcomes. Finding an optimal solution and building a consensus around that solution is a crucial component for a peaceful political transition in China and will have a profound impact on the sustainable and stable development of Chinese society.
In order to encourage people from all parts of society to think constructively and creatively for solutions on the issue, Chinaeweekly (Initiatives for China), Beijing Spring, and China In Perspective are jointly launching a Tiananmen essay contest. The topic for the essay is “How to Solve the Tiananmen Problem.” 
The contest will begin on April 15th and end on August 15th. Admitted essays will simultaneously be published on Chinaeweekly, Beijing Spring, and China In Perspective. In addition to the standard remuneration for publication, the first, second and third-place winners will be awarded a prize of $1000, $500, and $300 respectively.
We look forward to receiving your submissions. Please send your essay (in Chinese and/or English) to: [email protected]
