〈金門協議〉陳長文：人道超越政治 郝柏村：開啟和平交流

The 20th anniversary for the signing of Kinmen Agreement was held in Renai Guest House in Kinmen on September 21st. During a seminar, former Premier Hao, Bo-Cun (郝柏村) pointed out in a rather teasing (1) tone that when looking back at cross-strait relations in the last sixty years, he had been a warmonger (2) during the first thirty years of that time, and then a peacemaker the latter thirty years. It was the history's trend and destiny. Hao believed that only when the Chinese stop fighting against each other, can there be a bright future for the cross-strait relations. He commended the signing of the Kinmen Agreement by both sides as a historical beginning and emphasized it was significant for the revival of the Chinese civilization.
金門協議簽署二十週年紀念活動21日在金門「仁愛新莊」舉行。當年擔任行政院院長的郝柏村，在座談會中幽默地指出，回顧兩岸關係六十年來的發展，其中他當了三十年的戰場「打手」，後三十年兩岸停火之後，他也扮演締造兩岸和平、務實交流的決策者之一，這是歷史的宿命與潮流。他認為，只有中國人不打中國人，才有光輝遠大的前程。他也讚許兩岸紅會完成「金門協議」的簽訂，是一次歷史性的開端，對於將來中華民族復興歷史有非常重要的意義。

Former Premier Hao said that he had witnessed how the cross-strait relations changed dramatically from people engaging in war to living peacefully with each other. Such a change showed the wisdom and adroitness (3) of leaders from each side. Hao firmly believed as long as peace is maintained, both sides will enjoy prosperity, stability, and security, a great blessing for all Chinese.
　 郝柏村說，他見證了兩岸從互相交火到和平共處，這也充分顯示兩岸領導人的政治智慧。他深信只要堅持和平，必能為兩岸的共同發展帶來繁榮、和平、安定、安全，這也才是全民之福。
