The purge China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has inflicted on the military elite was plain to see at a recent legislative meeting. A year earlier, state television footage showed around 40 generals in the room. This time, there were only a handful.
中國領導人習近平對軍隊精英進行的清洗（purge)，在最近的一次立法會議上顯露無遺。一年前，國家電視台的畫面顯示室內約有 40 名將軍；而這一次，僅剩下寥寥數人。
Yet Mr. Xi indicated that an upheaval that rivaled those of the Mao era was not over. Stony-faced, he warned the remaining officers to beware of disloyalty.
然而，習近平暗示這場足以與毛澤東時代相提並論的動盪（Upheaval）尚未結束。他面色冷峻地警告剩下的軍官，要提防「不忠」。
“The military,” he said, “must never have anyone who harbors a divided heart toward the party.”
他說：「軍隊中絕不能有任何對黨懷有『二心』（Divided heart）的人。」
It was a rare public reference by Mr. Xi to one of the worst political crises of his 13 years in power: He had lost faith in the military leadership that he had spent a decade remolding.
這是習近平執政 13 年來，罕見地公開提及最嚴重的政治危機之一：他對自己花了十年時間重塑（Remolding）的軍隊領導層失去了信心。
“When Xi uses the words ‘divided heart,’ they are heavy with meaning,” said Chien-wen Kou, a professor at National Chengchi University in Taiwan. The phrase is found in ancient Chinese treatises that counsel rulers against treacherous generals, including a volume Mr. Xi has kept on his bookshelf.
國立政治大學教授寇健文表示：「當習近平使用『二心』這個詞時，其含意非常深遠。」這個詞出現在中國古代論述中，告誡統治者要提防心懷叵測的將領，而習近平的書架上也收藏了相關書籍。
