Wei
Jingsheng: the CCP Once Again Steps Up to Disintegrate Overseas Pro-democracy
Forces
Reported
by Shen Hua, Voice of America
June
2, 2013
WASHINGTON
-- On the eve of the 24th anniversary of the June 4 Massacre, overseas Chinese
democracy activists said that recently the Chinese Communist regime has tried
to intensify its differentiation and disintegration against the overseas
democracy movement. This trend
illustrates that the Communist regime still fears the presence of the overseas
democracy movement. However, they
say, it is a common phenomenon that the young people both overseas and inside
China know little about the history of June 4 Massacre.
Right
before June 4, on Saturday evening June 1, the Independent Federation of
Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) held commemoration activities in front of
the new Chinese embassy in the USA.
A number of people from all walks of life who made special trips from
different parts of the USA, and even some who came from outside the USA, braved
the sun to hold this June 4 commemoration in front of the new Chinese embassy
location for the first time.
*
CCP's New Trend Towards Overseas Democracy Movement *
Wei
Jingsheng, the chairman of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, told VOA
at the commemoration site that the CCP seems once again stepping up efforts to
disintegrate Overseas pro-democracy forces: "I think that the CCP has
recently started to pay attention on the overseas pro-democracy groups
again. You see, in addition to
apply more suppression inside of China, the CCP got some people who were
confirmed to be their spies and have already left the democracy movement for
more than 10 even 20 years to reemerge to write books claiming themselves to be
democracy celebrities, and to discredit the democracy movement with some fake
stories. "
Wei
Jingsheng said that these people took actions after they were bribed. He said that these trends indicate a
renewed emphasis on the overseas democracy movement by the Communist
regime. He said: "This
indicates an issue, that in recent a couple years the Communist Party has paid
great attention on the overseas democracy movement. In the past, the Communist Party claimed that the overseas
democracy work is irrelevant, but now it is very seriously taking a variety of
tactics to divide and differentiate us, and then to discredit us. If the overseas democracy movement is
of no use, why should the Communist regime spend such amount of effort? "
Wei
Jingsheng said that overseas democracy activists are human too, thus with their
weaknesses. But they are improving
themselves. In any case, the
essence of pro-democracy activists is better than that of the Communist
Party. All these people have
insisted on their ideal for so many years abroad. This itself is a treasure.
*
Without Vindication of Redressing June 4, I Will Come Here Every Year *
Ping
Wang, an IFCSS council member told VOA: every year as June 4 approaches, there
is always a sense of responsibility in the surge. He said: "As long as the June 4 (1989 democracy
movement) is not vindicated, we will come here every year. As long as murderers are not held
responsible, we will come every year.
When there is not an explanation of the June 4 Massacre, when it was not
investigated, nor were the murderers punished, I feel difficulty in my
heart. If I do not participate in
this commemoration event every year, I will feel uncomfortable in my
heart!"
*
American and Chinese Youth Do Not Know Much about June 4 Massacre *
How
many Americans know about June 4 after all? Professor Lawrence Anderson of the Department of Physics and
Astronomy at University of Toledo in Ohio, who is attending the commemoration,
told the Voice of America: "The answer will depend on the age of the
respondents. Every adult at that
time still remembers the Tiananmen events even now, and also knows a lot. However; a child at that time does not
know anything today, as is in parallel to today's Chinese youth knowing little
about June 4."
However,
he said that history is history, forgetting and covering up cannot change
historical facts; history stands the test of time.
*
Zhu Chengzhi Wins the "Spirit of Freedom Award" *
In
addition, during the June 4 Commemoration on the evening of June 1, Zhu
Chengzhi, a democracy advocator of Shaoyang City in Hunan Province, was awarded
the 2013 IFCSS "Spirit of Freedom Award." Zhu Chengzhi had cared for the June 4 hero, Mr. Li Wangyang. However, Mr. Li died mysteriously when
he was in the hospital and being monitored by the police 24 hours a day. Mr. Zhu insisted to expose the truth of
Li's death. Thus, Mr. Zhu himself
was under long term monitoring by the authorities and imprisoned for seven
months.
The
IFCSS organized these June 4 commemoration activities, which were approved by
the Washington DC police. The
police officers were nearby to monitor and to stay alert. No one in the Chinese Embassy came out
to respond to this commemoration.

魏京生：中共再度加紧分化瓦解海外民运力量
-- 美国之音
申华 报道
2013年6月2日
华盛顿 — 1989年六四事件24周年前夕，中国海外民运人士表示，中共近来在加紧分化和瓦解海外民运。这种趋势表明，中共还是惧怕海外民运的存在。不过，他们说，对六四历史知之甚少在海内外年轻人中是一种普遍现象。
六四前夕，全美中国学生学者自治联合会（学自联）星期六（6月1日）傍晚在中国驻美大使馆新馆前举办纪念活动。魏京生基金会和华盛顿海外香港华人联会等团体协办。来自全美各地以及一批专程从美国以外地区赶来的各界人士，冒着酷暑首次在中国大使馆前举行纪念六四活动。
*中共对待海外民运新动向*
中国民主运动海外联席会议主席魏京生在纪念现场对美国之音说，中共最近似乎正在加紧分化和瓦解海外民运力量：“我觉得中共最近又开始注意海外民运组织。你看，中共除了对国内的打压以外，最近一些被认证是特务，已经退出民运十几到二十几年的人现出来写书，
称自己是民运名人，然后来诋毁民运，讲一些假故事。"
魏京生认为，这些人是被收买后出来行动的。他说，上述动向表明，中共开始重新重视海外民运状况。他说：“这说明一个问题，最近一两年，共产党对海外民运很重视，过去老说海外民运没有用，它现在很重视，采取各种手法分裂和分化你，然后抹黑你。既然海外民运没有用，共产党为什麽还下这么大功夫？”
魏京生说，海外民运人士也是人，也都有缺点，他们也在改善，不过无论如何，民运人士本质上要比共产党好。大家在海外坚持了这么多年，非常不易。
*六四不平反，我年年都来*
学自联理事王平对美国之音说。每年一到六四，心中总有一种责任感在涌动。他说:"只要六四不平反，我们每年都会到这里来。杀人凶手不被追究责任，我们每年都会来。六四你不给个说法，不调查、不惩办凶手，我的心里就是过不去。我每年不参加这个活动，心里就难受！"
*中美年轻人不了解六四*
美国人到底对六四有多少了解？与会的俄亥俄州托莱多大学物理和天文系教授安德森对美国之音说：“这个问题将取决于被访者的年龄。那个时候的每个成年人如今还记得六四天安门事件，并且了解很多。不过；那个时候的孩子，他们今天就什么也不知道了，这一点和中国青年人现在对六四知之甚少很相似。”
不过，他说，历史就是历史，淡忘和掩盖改变不了历史史实，历史经得起时间的考验。
*朱承志获"自由精神奖"*
另外，在6月1日晚上的六四纪念活动上，湖南邵阳民主人士朱承志被授予2013年全美学自联"自由精神奖"。朱承志曾精心照料在医院24小时被监控下离奇死亡的湖南六四铁汉李旺阳，并且坚持揭露李旺阳死亡真相。他本人因此被长期遭当局监视，并被监禁长达7个月。
全美学自联等组织的这次纪念六四活动，得到了华盛顿警方批准，警方人员在活动现场附近监视戒备。中国大使馆无人出来回应这次纪念活动。
