Wei Jingsheng Speaks at the 15th Anniversary of the June 4 Massacre in Paris

 

 

For the June 4 15th anniversary this year, Mr. Wei Jingsheng attended a series of activities in Europe.  The following is a report of his participation at Paris' rally by the Central Agency.

 

--  --  --

 

(Central Agency, Paris)  The Chinese democracy advocator Wei Jingsheng pointed out that the sharp conflict within Chinese society today has reached the stage of maturity for change, except the opening point.  This opening point could be a sudden opportunity that may happen any time.

 

Wei Jingsheng participated in the rally commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 1989 TianAnMen democracy movement this evening in Paris, organized by democratic advocators in Paris.  Although it was a bit chilly on this early summer night, there were more than one hundred people gathered together for more than two hours, with enthusiastic discussions and all not willing to leave.  Wei Jingsheng participated for the whole event from the beginning to the end.

 

Wei Jingsheng said that the significance of commemorating the June 4 democracy movement is not just for the past, but also in preparation for the future push for democracy in China.  So, when the next chance comes, we are better prepared for it.

 

He also said that the new chance will come soon.  Wei Jingsheng pointed out that the social conflict has expanded further inside China, and the inequality between rich and poor has expanded as well.  Many people have gotten rich via unfair approaches, which makes the conflict even worse.  The condition for China to develop change is mature already, except for the opening point.  This opening point could be a sudden opportunity that may happen any time.

 

Amnesty International, Reporters without Boarders, Tibetan democracy movement organizations, and the Chinese democratic party overseas, all participated in tonight's activity.  Several French Sino-study experts also came for support and gave speeches.  Sino-expert Marie Holzman, who knows many democracy advocators, asked to read the names of the democracy advocators who are still in jail.  Because "their names were never publicized,  the Chinese may not have heard of them yet."

魏京生参加巴黎的纪念一九八九年天安门民运十五周年集会活动

--  中国社会矛盾尖锐 魏京生指变革一触即发

 

 

今年,魏京生先生为了满足欧洲民运人士多年的要求,早在年初便答应去欧洲参加六四15周年的纪念活动。以下是多篇有关报道中的一篇。

 

  --  --  --

 

(中央社记者罗苑韶巴黎四日专电)中国民运人士魏京生表示,中国目前内部社会矛盾呈尖锐的局面,改变的条件已成熟,就等待契机,而这个机会可能是个突发时机,随时可能发生。魏京生今晚参加巴黎民运人士举办的纪念一九八九年天安门民运十五周年集会活动,初夏的巴黎到了晚上略有凉意,夏佑宫与人类博物馆之间的广场上聚集一百多名民众,热烈讨论二小时仍不愿散去。魏京生全程参加活动。

 

魏京生表示,纪念六四民主运动的意义不仅是纪念过去,也是为未来推动民主进行准备工作,等到下次机会来的时候,才能做好准备。

 

他又说,新的机会很快就会到了。魏京生指出,中国内部目前社会矛盾有拉大的局面,贫富差异大,而许多富人是以不正当的方式致富,使矛盾更形尖锐。中国要发生变革的条件已成熟,只等待契机。而这个契机很可能是个突发时机,随时可能发生。

 

国际特赦组织、无疆界记者组织、西藏民主运动组织以及海外民运人士组成的中国民主党,都有代表出席今晚的纪念活动。法国文化界多名汉学家到场声援,并发表谈话。熟识多位民运人士的汉学家玛丽霍斯曼要求现场宣读目前仍在监牢里的民运人士名字,因为「他们的名字未曾公开,中国人一定都没有听过」。
