The Wei Jingsheng Foundation Holds a Successful Board Meeting and Welcomes Dr. XingYu CHEN to its Board

 

 

On January 15, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation finished its board meeting.  Participators reviewed and highly praised the 2004 work report by Ciping Huang, the Executive Director.  One resolution was proposed and passed by all the participants of the board meeting: 

Dr. XingYu CHEN, a longtime reputed Chinese democracy advocator and leader, was voted into the board.  Below is a concise version of biography introducing Dr. Chen.

Biography of Dr. XingYu CHEN

 

 

Dr. CHEN graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1982, and a Master of Science and later a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983 and 1989, respectively. 

 

In 1989, he became actively involved in the founding of the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars in USA (IFCSS), and was appointed as the Secretary-General of inaugural congress of IFCSS.  In 1990, he was elected as the President of IFCSS, in which he delivered the most spectacular yet eloquent debate of the whole 15-year history of IFCSS. During his presidency, his crucial outlook and strategic planning, as well as his capacity for team leadership, not only made the organization which represented over 200 Chinese students associations on the campus of about 200 universities and colleges in the USA become a house hold name within the Chinese-American society, but also put IFCSS on the table of American foreign policy. It became especially influential in China-USA relationships, particularly in the US congress.  Even now, IFCSS still holds a strong relationship with Congress due to the pioneering work of its founding members including Dr. Chen.  Dr. Chen's outstanding planning and strategy laid the important foundation for IFCSS as an organization, which insured an effective existence even now.

 

Dr. Chen is a multi-talented person, who impressed his circle of friends more with his knowledge of history, art, and literature, than the natural sciences  wherein his college degrees were granted.  Nevertheless, for the Wei Jingsheng Foundation, it is his participation, capacity, determination, persistence and dedication to Chinese democracy and human rights that made him qualified to be a board member.  With his expertise on China affairs and knowledge of international politics, he has been involved with many projects the Foundation has, working both inside and outside of China, as well as doing such tedious tasks as graphic design and communication to our friends and allies.  Among his contributions to the Foundation in the past a few years, he accompanied Mr. Wei Jingsheng to the European Parliament to meet with the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the EP's leader Pat Cox.  Most recently, he made contributions to and served as a judge in the committee for the 1st annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Award".

陈兴宇博士于1990年被选举为学自联主席,在任职期间,他以他卓越的领导艺术和无条件的奉献精神,使学自联成为全美国200多所大学中国学生组织的强有力的代表,并使其在美国对外政策,特别是对华政策,的决策过程中,产生了重大的影响。学自联在他的积极努力下,与众多的国际社团和政府机构,包括美国国会,建立了良好的合作关系。直到现在,学自联与国会的许多议员,诸如众议院少数党领袖南西.波罗西,仍旧保持着强健的合作关系。

 

数年来,陈兴宇博士对魏京生基金会给予了大量的支持。去年他还陪同魏京生先生出席了欧洲议会的萨哈诺夫自由奖颁奖大会,并拜会了联合国秘书长安南和欧洲议长考克斯先生。最近,陈兴宇博士对首届魏京生中国民主斗士奖的评奖过程给予了各种支持,并担任了评奖委员会成员之一。
