国民性劣根不是现代化的关键,更不是传统文化的必然结果,国民性改造反而是现代化的结果之一。《丑陋的中国人》成了国民性批判最后一个高潮的绝唱。无可质疑的是,柏杨和他的时代皆已终结。但我们不能因此否认柏杨先生敏锐犀利的观察能力和强烈的社会责任感,他的思想永远是华人世界的宝贵财富,他在人文启蒙上的功绩永存。 The root cause of nationalism is not the key to modernization, nor is it the inevitable result of traditional culture. National transformation is instead one of the results of modernization. The “ugly Chinese” has become the farewell song of the final climax of the critique of the nation. Undoubtedly, Bo Yang and his era are over. However, we can not therefore deny Mr. Bo Yang’s sharp and sharp observation ability and strong sense of social responsibility. His thinking will always be a precious asset to the Chinese world, and his achievements in humanistic enlightenment will last forever.
