Kim, in a sense, was the anti-Havel, lacking not only moral scruples, but even the usual dictatorial concern for how a country is managed. His death made me recall that of Mao Zedong, with all the mass hysteria – real and feigned – that accompanies the demise of a self-anointed god.
从某种程度上讲，金正日是反哈维尔的，他不仅在道德上肆意妄为，也不具备一般独裁者对如何治国的关心。金正日之死让我想起了毛泽东，在当时的中国，这个自封为神的人物的陨落引发了全体中国人的歇斯底里——不管是真是假。
