Forum in the U.S. Capitol: 1911 Chinese Xinhai Revolution -- Review and Outlook

 

 

Thursday, October 6, 2011, 12 noon - 2:30 p.m.

Room HVC-215, the U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC

 

One hundred years ago in 1911, the Chinese people were faced with an historic choice. The ancient imperial system was out of step with the modern world, and the Chinese people were looking for a replacement for the imperial government.  The Xinhai Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1911, took place under this situation.  It overthrew the monarchy and established the first democratic republic in Asia.

 

Unfortunately, one century since the Xinhai Revolution, China's fate has been tumultuous and destructive.  After the Chinese Communist regime usurped power, the divine land of China and the Chinese people have suffered unprecedented catastrophes in its 62 years of tyrannical rule. Traditional Chinese culture and moral values were destroyed; collusions and corruption have been common practices within the Communist government; and the Chinese people do not have freedom and dignity under the tyranny.

 

Today, after one hundred years, history is again coming to a turning point.  Inside Mainland China, there has already been an outbreak of spiritual/conscience awakening and an ongoing massive resistance against the tyrannical rule of communism.  Will the Chinese people be able to get out from the Red Terror?  They are, once again, faced with an historic choice that will determine their future.  At this special occasion, it is appropriate to look back at history and look forward for a democratic future in China.  It is significant for us to seek the truth out of history and to carry our responsibility for the future.

 

This Forum of "The 1911 Chinese Xinhai Revolution - Review and Outlook" is co-organized by the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, Huang-Hua-Gang Magazine, the Epoch Times - Washington DC, Asia Democracy Alliance, the League of Chinese Victims, the National Committee for the Democratic Party of China, the Chinese Freedom and Democracy Party, etc.  Well-known scholars, activists, and specialists in the field will be speaking at this forum to elaborate on the topic.  It is open to the public; however, attendees need to register with the contact below.  Admission is free; seats are limited.

Mr. Jingsheng Wei, Chairman, Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition

Mr. Haonian Xin, Historian, Scholar on China Contemporary History

新闻通告

美国国会研讨会:《辛亥革命的回顾与前瞻》

 

 

时间:2011年10月6日(星期四)中午12点–2点半

地点:美国首都华盛顿美国国会主楼HVC-215房间

 

一百年前的1911年,中华民族面临着历史的抉择,旧的皇权制度已经不符合世界潮流,人们寻找着中华民族的出路。辛亥革命就是在这样的大背景下发生。它推翻了帝制,创建了亚洲第一个民主共和国。

 

遗憾的是,中国在辛亥革命以后的一个世纪中,命运并不顺遂。中华大地多灾多难。在中共暴政篡权后的62年中,百姓饱受蹂躏与摧残,传统文化﹑道德伦理遭到全面的破坏。如今,官商勾结;腐败泛滥;民生凋敝;暴政横行。

 

百年后的今天,历史再一次走向了转折点。能否从红色恐怖中走出来,中国人再次面临着抉择。中国大陆正在爆发精神觉醒的大潮,也不断发生着对暴政的反抗。值此辛亥百年的回顾与前瞻之时,有识之士们将一起找回历史的真相与公民的责任﹐意义十分重大。

 

中国民主运动海外联席会议、《黄花岗》杂志社、华府大纪元时报、亚洲民主联盟、西藏青年大会、中国民主党全委会、中国自由民主党、中国冤民大同盟等共同举办《辛亥革命的回顾与前瞻》研讨会,将邀请知名专家学者共同探寻历史的脉络﹐敬请关注参与。因座位有限及大楼安检﹐与会者需尽早向联络人登记。
