96年前日本“范跑跑”的下场：编入教材遭世代辱骂
1912年4月15日，泰坦尼克号巨轮在首航中撞上了冰山。正如影片《泰坦尼克》中所表现的那样，在巨轮沉没之前船长决定：将有限的求生机会留给妇女和儿童。几乎所有的成年男子都既自愿又无奈地等待死神的到来。　　

但是，在那生死存亡的时刻，一个名叫细野正文的日本籍乘客男扮女装，冒着被水手们认出打死的危险，爬上了载满妇女和儿童的救生船。他混迹在一群妇孺羸弱者之中，侥幸捡回了一条性命。

然而，细野正文上岸后无法掩饰自己的性别和身份。他的丑陋嘴脸和名字，一夜之间出现在世界各大媒体上，自然也传到了日本。

细野正文回国后，他万万没有想到，自己简直成了整个民族的“耻辱”和“败类”。他先是接到了如雪片般飞来的充满愤怒与谴责的信件，接着又收到了他供职的运动厅的解雇信，然后是象征着男人地位的武士身份被取消。他逃生的卑鄙行径被编入了日本的教科书，成了教育下一代的反面典型。

从此，他陷入了万劫不复的深渊，在巨大的羞辱中苟延残喘地熬过了自己的后半生。他活得不正直，死得也不坦然。

在细野正文撒手人寰的时候，一位记者也发表了盖棺论定的评论：

“有的人活着他已经死了，有的人死了他还活着。死者若不埋在人们的心中，那就是真正死掉了。在泰坦尼克号巨轮上将求生机会留给妇女和儿童的那些男人，将永远活在人们的心中；而细野正文，则在人们的心目中早已死掉了。他耻辱地多活了些年，还不如当时勇敢地死去。”

细野正文是视弱者不顾抢夺生路，范美忠是丢下自己的学生不顾狂奔逃生且不以为耻反以为荣。

作为教师，在校园内，谁都有责任、有义务优先保护自己的学生；否则失职，这不是个纯粹的私德或个人意愿问题！

如果这位“范跑跑”宣布他是精神病人，从此住进精神病院，直到老死，保证不再出来害人。
我会原谅他的。

不好意思，我想问跑跑的校长。是不是最牛的校长？，为什么到现在还没反应呢？莫非和跑跑都是同道中人？

whoami

情况不一样。日本的那个人其实不应该骂的，他没有道德上的错，只是不够绅士，不伟大而已。如果他是船员，那才应该受到指责。

我们的这个范跑跑，如果不做教师，他跑多快也没问题。现在他违背了职业精神，而且在课堂上就跑了，可耻之极。

要让中国人知道：你做那行职业，就需要尽到本份。中国人太缺乏这种素质了。所以干什么都不专心，坑蒙拐骗。

从做人上讲，社会需要一种道德的力量，这是一种崇高的文明。哪个国家都要提倡这种文明。这不是强制性的，但反映了社会的文明程度。诚然发出批评的网民不一定能做到临危不乱，先别人后自己，但是通过这次事件，至少让社会知道什么叫公民的素质，什么叫崇高。
然后教育网民什么叫职业精神。

简单讲，你是一般人，跑不是你的错，但是如果你是教师，丢下学生一个人跑了，那就是你的错了，放到美国日本连工作都要丢了。

不好意思，我想问跑跑的校长。是不是最牛的校长？，为什么到现在还没反应呢？莫非和跑跑都是同道中人？ “跑跑”的这位校长认为“跑跑”很有才，很多事看的比较长远，所以“跑跑”是个“人才”啊！
无德有才，又有何用？
无德有才，何堪重用？

家风败坏！这个家庭能和眭吗？
政风失范！这个社会能和谐吗？
whoami

范跑跑最无耻的地方就是在跑了之后还洋洋得意。没有任何愧疚。一个在北大受了高等教育的文科生，一点人文修养和人性也没有。没有任何社会责任和职业操守。范跑跑，别看你满口自由公正，其实你肤浅得很。我是右派，我比你还提倡自由之人性自由之思想。你太差了。

凡心凡心凡心
跑了也就算了,没有人会计较他,可气的是他还有一套冠冕堂皇的逃生理论,这就有些不该了,如果他为他潜在的灵魂深处的龌龊感到羞耻或后悔那样,这还没有背离什么,而真正让人感到气愤的是他认为是正常反应,就有点背离道了,俗话说"得道多助,失道寡助"他的将来已经由他的现在造就的因缘定位.......

哈哈哈1
就应该让“范跑跑”永远钉在历史的耻辱柱上，再踏上一万只脚，让这种不知廉耻的人永远不得翻身！！

范跑跑真有那么多吗
可是昨天晚上的辩论会竟然大部分是支持范跑跑的

非常质疑一虎的公正性,辩论会主持人怎么能因同情而参与自己的个人感情

米兰加油
耻辱。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

真的应该把范跑跑送进精神病院了!!!!!!!!!!!

轩尼诗1969
可怕的是居然有相当一部分人认可这种行为.

轩尼诗1969
可怕的是居然相当一部分人认可这种可耻的行为．如果任由这种错误思想泛滥，大家都只想到自己的安危，那谁见义勇为谁就是傻瓜！这个社会还有何安全感？！我们生活在这样的社会环境里能安心吗？

这完全是两码事，一个是行动，一个是言论。本人虽然反对范跑跑的观点，但我佩服他求真的勇气！

直接开除出学校,取消他的教师资格,永远不得从事类似的职业! {{{Is self-preservation a firing offense? Posted by Joel Martinsen, June 1, 2008 11:47 PM

The most craven teacher in the world? On 12 May, Fan Meizhong was teaching literature to a class of high school students when the earthquake hit. He shouted, "Earthquake!" and then ran out of the classroom, down the stairs, and out onto the field, leaving his students behind.

Fan was pilloried online. Netizens called him "the most shameless teacher ever," partly for his cowardly abandonment of his students, but also for a post about the incident he put up on the Tianya BBS, which many critics saw as a pitiful attempt to justify a warped sense of morality. Fan confessed that his instinct for self-preservation meant that his daughter was the only person he'd ever think of sacrificing himself for — he'd even have left his mother behind.

Netizens called him "Runner Fan" (范跑跑), a nickname that even his boss used when talking to the media. Qing Guangya, principal of the privately-run Guangya School in Dujiangyan, is facing pressure to fire Fan for being a poor model for the students. Here is what he told the Yangtse Evening Post:

"In the earthquake, our school's classrooms were not harmed at all, and none of the 800-plus students and faculty was injured. But Fan Meizhong, mocked online as 'Runner Fan,' was an exception. His emotional injuries were self-inflicted."

"I don't know why he wrote those words on his blog that so enraged everyone. Actually, at the time he didn't say anything like that. When the earthquake hit, 'Runner Fan' just shouted 'Earthquake!' and was the first one out of the classroom and onto the field." Qing Guangya recalled that he staggered out of his office later, and after he reached the field, he discovered that students and teachers from every class were crouching on the ground. So he said, "Do a head-count." He remembers quite clearly that "Runner Fan" carefully counted the students who had been mocking him just then. After determining that there were no deaths or injuries, Qing organized the students and teachers to divert their attention and dispel their anxiety. The younger grades sang songs; classes that had been going on continued with review, reading, memorization, and discussions; upper levels continued their activities. During all of this, "Runner Fan" was just as cooperative.

This reporter noticed that Qing was obviously conflicted when discussing "Runner Fan." "Giving a shout and then running off when the earthquake hit: I think that's just a normal human reaction. But he really shouldn't have said those things afterward. The stuff he said was really out of line!"

The newspaper quotes a "knowledgeable source" who said that "everyone, including all levels of the state education administration, have been talking to Qing Guangya hoping that he will fire Fan Meizhong. On one occasion, Qing said candidly that 'Runner Fan' was mistaken in what he said, but his actions were not wrong..."

On 31 May, Changjiang Times printed an interview with Fan himself, in which he spoke about his actions and the online response:

Changjiang Times: Why did you post that article on the Internet? Fan Meizhong: I graduated from the history department of Peking University. After this major historic event, I wanted to record something in words, so I wrote that article online.

CT: Netizens say that it's OK that you ran, but you shouldn't be so boastful about it. What do you think about that? Fan: If I wasn't wrong to run, then what's the problem with writing about it? True, a teacher has a responsibility and duty to educate students, but the Education Law does not have any regulations saying that during an earthquake a teacher must save the students. My running off alone didn't violate national law. It only challenged the traditional ideas of education and morality that many people hold. They believe that a teacher ought to be a model of virtue for others, and in the face of disaster, students are the weaker group so a teacher should help them up.

But the fact is that at the instant of the earthquake, a teacher is weak, too. I had no experience; neither the state nor the school taught me live-saving or rescue techniques. I had no ability to save the entire class. If every teacher was like Mr. Tan [Tan Qianqiu, who used his body to shield four students from a collapsing roof], who gave his life for his students, then we'd have no more heroes. I admire heroes like Mr. Tan, but I can't do that myself. I love my life more.

CT: Netizens say that it's OK that you ran, but they ask why you didn't call to the students to run, too? Fan: (silent for a moment) I admit that I'm afraid of death. My life is more important to me than those of others. I was really scared right then, and my instinctive response was to run outside. I thought that if I yelled, "Earthquake!" then the students would run after me. When I got to the field, lots of students had run outside, but I didn't imagine that no one from my class would run.

On this point, my wife also says that I performed badly. The past few days I've been thinking things over — why didn't I shout to the students to follow me? If you must say that I'm wrong, then it's because I ran without telling the students to come, too.

CT: Do you feel guilty? Fan: I didn't intentionally do anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty? The earthquake happened and killed all those people, so I'm saddened, but I didn't create the earthquake, so there's no reason for me to feel guilty. And when I returned to the classroom afterward, the students were perfectly fine.

CT: What was the class like then? What did you say to your students? Fan: There were only two students under their desks. The rest were crouched on the floor with a look of panic on their faces.

CT: Why did you have to explain "I'd only save my daughter, not my mother" in your article? Netizens think that you are an unfilial son. Fan: Feelings-wise, it's hard to say whether my daughter or my mother is more important. But my daughter is only one year old, so saving her would have more chance of success. I brought up this example to explain the importance of one's own life in the face of a life-or-death situation, not to say that I don't love my mother. I know that saying this challenges China's traditional concept of morality; I've broken a taboo and brought the criticism on myself. But I anticipated it.

CT: What would you like to say to the netizens who've attacked you? Fan: I'd like to say that many netizens don't really understand me. Their demands on me come out of their own personal morality; they hope that other people will do better, little realizing that in the same situation, they'd be exactly like me.

They're not considering institutional and technological factors. If all the buildings were built to strict quality standards, would we have lost so many people? If the state and the school frequently instructed students in how to escape an earthquake, then they'd naturally run when an earthquake hit, and there'd be no need for me to shout.

Netizens can attack me and argue with me, but they'd do better to think about institutional and technological factors. If another earthquake comes, whether our houses are safe will determine whether we'll escape safely.

Fan appeals to the Education Law to deny any wrongdoing. In response, commentators have suggested that Fan's actions did indeed violate that law. Here's an excerpt from a Rednet post by Li Zhenzhong, titled "The 'Running teacher' was also 'tofu dregs' in the face of disaster":

The Compulsory Education Law does stipulate that "a teacher should be a model of virtue for others and should be devoted to the education of the people." To be a "model of virtue," to "undertake the duty stipulated in the law," to be "devoted to the education of the people": looking at the Compulsory Education Law, being concerned solely for one's own life and leaving students behind while fleeing violates the spirit of the law.

The Compulsory Education Law was revised in 2006; the 1986 version only commanded teachers to "show concern for their students and be devoted to their duties." But it's likely that the netizens who are attacking Runner Fan's morals would argue that simply shouting "Earthquake!" and then running outside doesn't really show concern for the students, either.

范美忠也许可以有自己的想法，但是作为一位人民教师，他的行为已无法去说服孩子也无法被原谅。——澳大利亚《悉尼时报》

国际先驱导报记者刘科发自北京(搜吧) 如果不是因为发生汶川大地震，或许很多外国人一辈子也不会知道汶川、北川、青川、什邡这些地名；如果不是因为莎朗·斯通在戛纳电影节一次无知的讲话，或许她的身影还会出现在6月15日的上海电影节上；而如果不是因为一篇发在天涯社区的帖子，范美忠这位普通中学教师，或许不会在海内外遭遇那么多人的讽刺、质疑、谩骂，甚至是人身威胁。
在这篇名为《那一刻地动山摇——汶川地震亲历记》的帖子中，范美忠记录了自己在地震当时以及震后的经历。6月4日的英国《卫报》也据此报道了他的“事迹”：“范美忠在都江堰的光亚高中教语文课。他高喊‘地震了’然后冲出教室，跑下楼梯，跑到操场上。范美忠后来在博客上表示，到操场以后，他发现没有一个学生在身旁。幸而，那些学生都没有受伤。学生问他为什么不尝试帮助他们逃生，他回答道：‘我从来不是一个勇于献身的人，只关心自己的生命。’”

而此后范美忠本人的解释无疑具有更大的杀伤力，“在这种生死抉择的瞬间，只有为了我的女儿我才可能考虑牺牲自我，其他的人，哪怕是我的母亲，在这种情况下我也不会管的。”

范美忠的此番洋洋洒洒的“坦白”立即引发了一片讨伐声浪。

一时间，范美忠从默默无闻的中学教师，变成海内外民众热议的焦点人物。

“丑陋的Runner Fan”

6月1日，“单位网（danwei）”站长南非人金玉米把此话题做成了英文专题，当即引发了众多国外媒体人士和网民的关注。

6月2日的英国《每日电讯报》发表题为“教师承认地震开始时自己率先逃跑！”的文章，率先披露此消息。而加拿大《埃德蒙顿报》在6月3日发表了题为“震后教师宣称：每个人都是自私的”的文章。同一天的《纽约太阳报》刊发了题为“中国教师在地震时抛弃他的学生逃跑”，披露了中国网民的愤怒情绪。

《俄罗斯今日报》认为，作为中国人的范美忠比莎朗·斯通更可耻。“因为他在关键时刻抛弃了责任，抛弃了良知，抛弃了自己的学生，同时也抛弃了人们对他的信任。”

因为国内网民怒称范美忠为“范跑跑”，国外网友甚至也对应地给他起了一个外国名。“我想以后英文里会出现一个新词组，那就是Runner Fan。”一位网友在美国论坛“freerepublic”留言说。

“逃跑门”事件的另类解读

这场发韧于网络的口水论战，无疑因为它触动人的道德底线吸引着民众的注意力，又因为传统媒体的持续跟进有了更大的讨论空间。6月7日香港凤凰卫视《一虎一席谈》节目邀请范美忠现场辩论，而同期在凤凰网进行的一项调查，似乎也暗示着多数中国人的态度。

这项名为“你怎样看待范美忠率先逃跑的行为”的调查共吸引了高达245888位网友的投票。其中有58.9% 的人认为范美忠“已经不适合继续做教师了”，有17.1%的人对范美忠“不管是言论还是行为都不赞成”，而赞成范美忠言行的仅占4.5%。

然而，在网络上对“逃跑门”事件几乎压倒一片的痛斥声中，英国《卫报》“标新立异”地提出了异议。

《卫报》认为“范美忠的坦率是罕见的”。“范美忠在中国引起愤怒。但这位教师表示，在地震发生的那一刹那，老师也是弱者。‘国家和学校没有教过我任何逃生、营救技能’。‘当时我也被吓坏了，本能反应就是往外跑’。”

此外，《卫报》发出了“范美忠真的是中国的头号懦夫吗？”这样的疑问：“历史上鲜有人愉快地记录自己因为害怕而逃跑。甚至‘历史上最懦弱的人’——那个抛下泰坦尼克号1500名乘客的白星航运公司常务董事伊斯梅，也从来没有尝试这样大胆地为自己的行为辩护。无论如何，懦弱是道德的迷惑：基于道德或宗教信仰原因不肯服兵役者要有多大的勇气？”

《卫报》认为范美忠坦率承认自己的行为并大胆辩护，“勇气可嘉”。“海明威会认为怯懦只是‘无法暂停想像力的运作。’但马克·吐温曾说，人类是懦弱的种族。因此，要真正承认懦弱，必须相当有勇气。”

美国明确教师的“地震责任”

当然，《卫报》的观点无法说服大多数的中国民众，亦非国际舆论的主流。正如《悉尼时报》指出的那样，范美忠也许可以有自己的想法，但是无法原谅他继续做一位人民教师。“范美忠的行为已无法去说服孩子。”

而在全球最大的中国入境旅游信息资讯平台travelchinaguide上，一位名为“spicyhotpot”的美国加州网友的留言又为观察提供了另一种视角。这位网友写道：“换了我，在当时可能也会逃跑。但在加州，从没有发生过教师在紧急事件时不顾学生先逃走的事件。”这是因为，美国在对待地震时老师们的表现有着严格的规定。

在地震较频繁的加州，由《民法》第3100条规定所有公职人员是灾难服务人员，“此公职人员包括教师，因此，当灾难发生时，美国教师有疏散学生的职责。”不论是火灾或地震，加州每个学校都有自己的疏散步骤，在演习时也会检视撤离所有人员需多久的时间，一旦灾难发生，所有人都应依照紧急步骤来避难。

Fan Meizhong, Runner Fan’s Earthquake Confessional “IN matters of life and death, it’s every man for himself,” says Chinese teacher, Fan Meizhong.

Earthquake!

“I ran towards the stairs so fast that I stumbled and fell as I went. When I reached the center of the football pitch, I found I was the first to escape. None of my pupils was with me,” said the Meizhong, known as ‘Runner Fan.’

Later, when some of his students who managed to escape asked him how he could have left them behind, he replied: “I have a very strong sense of self-preservation … I have never been a brave man and I’m only really concerned about myself.”

Notes the Telegraph: “While newspapers have largely followed instructions to concentrate on uplifting tales of rescue work since the earthquake, the internet has seen a wild variety of tales emerge.”

And the internet is where the Telegraph gets its news from.

“I didn’t cause the earthquake, so I have no reason to feel guilty,” he said in an interview. “When I got back to the classroom, the students were all fine.”

He’s in interview after the jump:

Changjiang Times: Why did you post that article on the Internet? Fan Meizhong: I graduated from the history department of Peking University. After this major historic event, I wanted to record something in words, so I wrote that article online.

CT: Netizens say that it’s OK that you ran, but you shouldn’t be so boastful about it. What do you think about that? Fan: If I wasn’t wrong to run, then what’s the problem with writing about it? True, a teacher has a responsibility and duty to educate students, but the Education Law does not have any regulations saying that during an earthquake a teacher must save the students. My running off alone didn’t violate national law. It only challenged the traditional ideas of education and morality that many people hold. They believe that a teacher ought to be a model of virtue for others, and in the face of disaster, students are the weaker group so a teacher should help them up.

But the fact is that at the instant of the earthquake, a teacher is weak, too. I had no experience; neither the state nor the school taught me live-saving or rescue techniques. I had no ability to save the entire class. If every teacher was like Mr. Tan [Tan Qianqiu, who used his body to shield four students from a collapsing roof], who gave his life for his students, then we’d have no more heroes. I admire heroes like Mr. Tan, but I can’t do that myself. I love my life more.

Running away before the shit storm hits, and writing about your adventures? Anyone heard that before..?

The Compulsory Education Law does stipulate that “a teacher should be a model of virtue for others and should be devoted to the education of the people.” To be a “model of virtue,” to “undertake the duty stipulated in the law,” to be “devoted to the education of the people”: looking at the Compulsory Education Law, being concerned solely for one’s own life and leaving students behind while fleeing violates the spirit of the law.
