一百年前,80%的中国人是文盲,农民保守无知,他们不懂民主,甚至可能反感民主;一百年前,国破民贫,许多人连生存都关心不过来,更无暇关心政治;一百年前,中国是农业社会,市民阶层少,似乎难以形成自治社会……这些,我们可以从美国传教士明恩傅一百年前写的《中国人的素质》一书中管窥一斑。结论是,按照“中国人素质低”的论调,一百年前的中国根本不具备实行民主化改革的条件。
Hundreds of years ago, 80% of Chinese were illiterate, their peasants were conservative and ignorant, they did not understand democracy and may even be disgusted with democracy. A hundred years ago, the country broke the people’s poverty and many people were even concerned about their existence, leaving no time for caring about politics Hundreds of years ago, China was an agricultural society with few classes of the public. It seems that it is hard to form a self-governing society. From these, we can get a glimpse of the “quality of the Chinese people” written by American missionary Ming Hu a hundred years ago . The conclusion is that according to the argument of “low quality of Chinese people”, a hundred years ago China simply did not have the conditions to implement democratization reform.
