From Anqing to Shaoxing: Ten Days of Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin安庆到绍兴——徐锡麟和秋瑾的十天
杭州西泠桥南堍，孤山西北麓，秋瑾墓。从断桥走过来十分钟，到杭州的人几乎都会路过。杭州风篁岭下，南天竺，浙江辛亥革命烈士墓群，里面躺着徐锡麟、陈伯平、马宗汉、陶成章，要专门去找才找得到。 - 恩铭为什么非死不可？他是那一年安徽新政办得最卖力的官员，而徐锡麟能接近他，靠的正是这些新机构。暗杀这门技术，会不会系统性地优先杀掉改革者？ - 公堂上有几种道德语言？徐锡麟、秋瑾和拒绝用刑的山阴县令李钟岳，三个人，三套彼此不能通约的语言。 - 暗杀是一种什么样的技术？它真正生产的东西不是政权更替，是符号。 - 一桩死亡要满足哪些条件，才配被铸成神话？ 关于1907年的那两次死亡，一百年来有过三种读法：崇高、冤屈，以及鲁迅的第三种——他们是被消费掉的。
At the southern end of Xiling Bridge in Hangzhou, at the northwestern foot of Solitary Hill, lies the tomb of Qiu Jin. It is a ten-minute walk from the Broken Bridge, and nearly everyone who visits Hangzhou passes it. Below Fenghuang Ridge in Hangzhou, at Southern Tianzhu, is the cemetery of the Zhejiang martyrs of the 1911 Revolution, where Xu Xilin, Chen Boping, Ma Zonghan and Tao Chengzhang lie buried; you have to go looking for it to find it. - Why did Enming have to die? He was the official who pushed the New Policies hardest in Anhui that year, and it was precisely through these new institutions that Xu Xilin was able to get close to him. Does assassination, as a technique, systematically kill reformers first? - How many moral languages were spoken in the courtroom? Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin, and Li Zhongyue, the magistrate of Shanyin who refused to use torture: three people, three mutually incommensurable languages. - What kind of technique is assassination? What it really produces is not a change of regime, but symbols. - What conditions must a death meet to be worthy of being forged into myth? Over the past hundred years there have been three readings of those two deaths in 1907: the sublime, the wronged, and Lu Xun's third reading, that they were consumed.
