BYRON DORGAN, A U.S. SEN- ATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA, CHAIRMAN, CONGRESSIONAL- EXECUTIVE COMMISSION ON CHINA Chairman DORGAN. We’re going to begin the hearing today. This is the Congressional-Executive Commission on China’s first hearing in the 111th Congress. We have a distinguished group of witnesses before us today and they will help us examine the significance of the tragic events that occurred in 1989 in China. They will also help us explore the impli- cations of the 1989 Democracy Movement on U.S. policy toward China today. We are honored to have a number of Tiananmen student leaders and others who participated in those demonstrations with us in the hearing room today. I want to welcome one person in particular, Mr. Fang Zheng. I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Fang Zheng, I believe, the day before yesterday over in the Capitol. Mr. Fang was an athlete at the Beijing College of Sports. On June 4, 1989, he participated in the protests in Tiananmen Square. Tragically, his legs were crushed under a tank during that dem- onstration. He later was expelled from school because he refused to publicly deny the source of his injury. Mr. Fang later went on to become China’s wheelchair discus and javelin champion. Earlier this year he moved to the United States with his family. We wel- come Mr. Fang for being with us today.

They asked for the right to speak freely and for other freedoms that we now take for granted in this country. Those protesters included not only students, but govern- ment employees, journalists, workers, in some cases the police, and even members of China’s armed forces. Chinese authorities repeatedly tried to persuade the protesters to leave Tiananmen Square, but they refused. Thousands of armed troops carrying automatic weapons in large truck convoys moved in to clear the square and the surrounding streets of demonstrators. Then soldiers and columns of tanks fired directly at citizens and into the crowds, inflicting a very high civilian casualty rate. Twenty years later, the exact number of dead and wounded re- mains unclear. The wounded are estimated to have numbered in the thousands. Detentions at the time were also in the thousands, and some political prisoners who were sentenced in connection with the events surrounding June 4 still sit in Chinese prisons today. I ask to be included in the hearing record a representative list of Tiananmen Square prisoners who remain in jail today. This list was developed from the Commission’s Political Prisoner Database, which is the largest publicly accessible database of China’s political prisoners. Relatives and friends have a right to mourn their sons, their daughters, their colleagues, and their friends publicly, and they have a right to call, even now, for a full and public accounting of the wounded and the dead. They have a right to call for the release of those who remain in prison. But for attempting to exercise these rights, relatives and friends of those killed in 1989 have instead faced harassment, they have faced arrest, suffered many abuses, and today we express our sympathy with their cause. Most of all, we honor the memory of those whom they loved whose lives were lost. Chinese authorities frequently tell us today that the Chinese peo- ple enjoy greater freedom to express themselves. At the same time, they repeatedly show the world how the government silences some who work for fundamental rights for all the

If difficult problems were to appear still further, it will become impossible to explain them to the people. It will become impossible to control them. I want you to understand this position which we are in. Deng Xiaoping, speaking at a meeting with high-level Japanese officials, including Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance, Agriculture, and Forestry, June 28, 19871 During times of crisis, Arab governments demonstrated their own conception of public opinion as a street that needed to be contained. Some even complained about the absence of demonstrators at times when they hoped to persuade the United States to ease its demands for public endorsements of its policies.

One of the topics for discussing at the meeting was a report on checking the turmoil and quelling the counter-revolutionary rebellion in Beijirig. The report by state councillor and mayor of Beijing Chen Xitong explained in detail the process by which a small group of people made use of the student unrest in Beijing and turned it into a counter-revolutionary rebellion by mid-June. It gave a detailed account of the nature of the riot, its severe conse- quence and the efforts made by troops enforcing _martial law, with the help of Beijing residents to quell the riot. The report exposed the behind-the-scene activities of people who stub- bornly persisted in opposing the Chinese Communist Party and socialism as well as the small handful of organizers and schemers of the riot; their collaboration with antagonistic forces at home and abroad; and the atrocities committed by former criminals in beating, looting, burning and First Edition 1989 killing in the riot.

  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

The following is a re-telling of the making of that statue, originally published in the book Children of Dragon, by a sculptor named Cao Xinyuan: Nothing excites a sculptor as much as seeing a work of her own creation take shape. But although I was watching the creation of a sculpture that I had had no part in making, I nevertheless felt the same excitement. It was the "Goddess of Democracy" statue that stood for five days in Tiananmen Square. Until last year I was a graduate student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where the sculpture was made. I was living there when these events took place. 点击图像去Amazon购买 Students and faculty of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which is located only a short distance from Tiananmen Square, had from the beginning been actively involved in the demonstrations.

  • China As Dystopia: Cultural Imaginings Through Translation Published In: Translation Studies (Taylor and Francis) Doi: 10.1080/1
    China as dystopia: Cultural imaginings through translation Published in: Translation Studies (Taylor and Francis) doi: 10.1080/14781700.2015.1009937 Tong King Lee* School of Chinese, The University of Hong Kong *Email: [email protected] This article explores how China is represented in English translations of contemporary Chinese literature. It seeks to uncover the discourses at work in framing this literature for reception by an Anglophone readership, and to suggest how these discourses dovetail with meta-narratives on China circulating in the West. In addition to asking “what gets translated”, the article is interested in how Chinese authors and their works are positioned, marketed, and commodified in the West through the discursive material that surrounds a translated book. Drawing on English translations of works by Yan Lianke, Ma Jian, Chan Koonchung, Yu Hua, Su Tong, and Mo Yan, the article argues that literary translation is part of a wider programme of Anglophone textual practices that renders China an overdetermined sign pointing to a repressive, dystopic Other. The knowledge structures governing these textual practices circumscribe the ways in which China is imagined and articulated, thereby producing a discursive China. Keywords: translated Chinese literature; censorship; paratext; cultural politics; Yan Lianke Translated Literature, Global Circulations 1 In 2007, Yan Lianke (b.1958), a novelist who had garnered much critical attention in his native China but was relatively unknown in the Anglophone world, made his English debut with the novel Serve the People!, a translation by Julia Lovell of his Wei renmin fuwu (2005). The front cover of the book, published by London’s Constable,1 pictures two Chinese cadets in a kissing posture, against a white background with radiating red stripes.

  • China Policy Institute Policy Paper 2012: No.3 a Convergence Of
    China Policy Institute Policy Paper 2012: No.3 A convergence of China’s political reform agendas Andreas Fulda Significance A ten-year plan for social and political reform touted by Chinese establishment intellectual Yu Jianrong is gaining traction both within and outside China’s party-state. Yu’s plan is the most notable reform agenda to emerge since the Charter 08. It signifies a willingness among party-state officials to engage in open-ended discussions about democracy and human rights in China. What we need to know While the issue of political reform has been notably absent from official proclamations during the first days of the Chinese Communist Party’s 18th Party Congress, China’s political future is being widely debated both in Chinese establishment and non-establishment circles alike. Although both reform camps agree on the need for political change they differ in their specific reform recommendations: while establishment figures call for a gradual evolution of China’s political system, anti-establishment intellectuals call for a complete overhaul of the Chinese body politic along liberal democratic lines. Despite such differences a convergence of China’s political reform agendas can be observed. One of China’s most renowned establishment intellectuals Yu Jianrong has touted a ten-year plan for social and political reform which strikingly resembles parts of China’s Charter 08. China’s Charter 08 was inspired by the Charter 77, a petition promulgated by anti-Soviet dissidents in Czechoslovakia, and calls for an end to one-party rule and the protection of human rights. It has been signed by more than two thousand citizens within China and supported by more than ten thousand signatories abroad.

  • Testimony of Zhou Fengsuo, President Humanitarian China and Student Leader of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Demonstrations
    Testimony of Zhou Fengsuo, President Humanitarian China and student leader of the 1989 Tiananmen Square demonstrations Congressman McGovern, Senator Rubio, Members of Congress, thank you for inviting me to speak in this special moment on the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre. As a participant of the 1989 Democracy Movement and a survivor of the Massacre started in the evening of June 3rd, it is both my honor and duty to speak, for these who sacrificed their lives for the freedom and democracy of China, for the movement that ignited the hope of change that was so close, and for the last 30 years of indefatigable fight for truth and justice. I was a physics student at Tsinghua University in 1989. The previous summer of 1988, I organized the first and only free election of the student union of my department. I was amazed and encouraged by the enthusiasm of the students to participate in the process of self-governing. There was a palpable sense for change in the college campuses. When Hu Yaobang died on April 15, 1989. His death triggered immediately widespread protests in top universities of Beijing, because he was removed from the position of the General Secretary of CCP in 1987 for his sympathy towards the protesting students and for being too open minded. The next day I went to Tiananmen Square to offer a flower wreath with my roommates of Tsinghua University. To my pleasant surprise, my words on the wreath was published the next day by a national official newspaper. We were the first group to go to Tiananmen Square to mourn Hu Yaobang.

ISBN: 978-1-69157-995-2 Created with Vellum During his years in power, Mao Zedong initiated three policies which could be described as radical departures from Soviet and Chinese Communist practice: the Hundred Flowers of 1956-1957, the Great Leap Forward 1958-1960, and the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976. Each was a disaster: the first for the intellectuals, the second for the people, the third for the Party, all three for the country. — RODERICK MACFARQUHAR, THE SECRET SPEECHES OF CHAIRMAN MAO In many ways, [Deng Xiaoping’s] reputation is underestimated: while Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev oversaw the peaceful end of Soviet communist rule and the dismembering of the Soviet empire, he had wanted to keep the Soviet Union in place and reform it. Instead it fell apart; communism lost power—and Russia endured a decade of instability […]. Perhaps the most influential political titan of the late 20th century, Deng succeeded in guiding China towards his vision where his fellow communist leaders failed. — SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE, TITANS OF HISTORY CONTENTS Introduction ix 1.
