Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars Carries Forward the Democratic Cause
Wei Jingsheng and Xin Haonian Invited to speak as Honorable Guests
On September 26, the Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS), founded in the aftermath of the June 4th Massacre in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, held its 12th Congress in Chicago. Under the direction of Dr. Xing Zheng, Ph.D., over 20 representatives from all over the U.S. came to look again at what the spirit of the IFCSS should be and to review the work they have done over the last two years (since the 11th Congress) for Chinese human rights and democracy. The Congress voted on what projects the IFCSS will focus on, choosing projects such as rescuing veteran Chinese dissidents Dr. Wang Bingzhang and Dr. Yang Jianli, and condemning Yahoo! for selling out writer Tao Shi. The last vote cast at the Congress went for forming a new 9-person council and a new president, Mr. Zhou Jian. Wei Jingsheng, The Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition (OCDC) Chairman, and Xin Haonian, Chief Editor of Huang Hua Gang magazine, both gave brief remarks at the conference. Well-known Chinese Democracy activist Wang Youcai also attended.
The Congress convened with IFCSS Human Rights Committee Chairman Ms. Huang Ciping reading Ding Zilin's letter to the conference. Ding lost her son in the June 4 Massacre in Beijing, and represents the TianAnMen Mothers. In her letter, Ms. Ding said, "Each time that you hold this kind of conference, I always want to say a few words to you. I want not only to express my gratitude to you all, but more to tell my friends of the feelings I have inside." Conference participants observed a minute of silence for the victims of the June 4th massacre.
In the 16 years since IFCSS was founded, its members have always given both spiritual and material support to the families of June 4th victims. In addition, they hold a commemoration event on June 4th of every year.

IFCSS' Founding Mission: To Be Unbending In Service of the Cause of Chinese Democracy
As 11th President of IFCSS, Dr. XING Zheng reviewed the history of IFCSS. In the month of July after the June 4th massacre in 1989, over 100 Chinese students and scholars came to Chicago, and hundreds more representatives from various universities in the USA expressed that they would break from the Chinese Communist Party's leadership. IFCSS was formed and registered in the USA as an independent organization with a free self-governing mechanism. In the trials and triumphs of the last 16 years, even though IFCSS has fewer members than it started with, those that remain persist in carrying the banner of "Independence and Freedom" and unswervingly struggle for the cause of human rights and democracy in China.

Summary of the Past Two Years of Human Rights Work, Establishing Focus Projects for the Future
In the last two years, IFCSS has participated in a greater number of human rights efforts beyond assisting the families of June 4th victims. Huang Ciping gave a report of the Human Rights Committee's work, and other committee members gave reports on efforts to speak out for and rescue Dr. WANG Bingzhang, Dr. YANG Jianli, Dr. JIANG Yanyong, M.D., and Ding Zilin, as well as continued efforts to support the Tiananmen Mothers for the Nobel Peace Prize. The representatives also reported on participating in the "Global Coalition to Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice", the "Coalition to Protect Press Freedoms" and activities for opposing Hong Kong's Article 23.
In the last two years, IFCSS has also established the Foundation of Independent Thinkers Support (FITS), with the purpose of succoring independent intellectuals and democracy activists in China that have been suppressed and persecuted by the CCP.
The Congress chose the following projects (among others) for the next two years: Rescuing overseas Chinese democracy pioneer Dr. Wang Bingzhang; rescuing one of IFCSS founders Dr. Yang Jianli; condemning Yahoo! for selling out Tao Shi, as well as seeking and providing assistance for possible legal measures.

Wei Jingsheng, Xin Haonian Speak at IFCSS' 12th Congress
In his brief remarks, Wei Jingsheng described some of his personal experiences in a Chinese jail, expressing that as hard to excite as he was, when he found out that people overseas were writing him letters, he couldn't sleep for two days straight. He said the Chinese people are extremely grateful to IFCSS for its support for them under the banner of independence and democracy. He also suggested the federation be more active and louder, to expand even further, and to increase its name recognition.
Wei Jingsheng also ardently called upon the audience to see clearly the CCP media propaganda for what it is, including how overseas CCP media puts a spin on the news to meet its objectives. He used the "mob politics" that the CCP has been spreading as an example: Currently, as Chinese people fed up with their lots rebel against the tyranny of the CCP, the CCP, not through the People's Daily but from so-called "neutral" overseas media organizations, says that the people are "forming mobs", and starting "insurrections" and "riots", in hopes of influencing overseas public opinion; these overseas media reports can then be used in China to cheat on the Chinese people. The CCP's overseas sycophants have slandered the Chinese people by calling them "mobs" to insinuate that if the CCP didn't exist China would be in chaos and that no one could live in peace. Certain speeches made by CCP agents have also added fuel to the fire.
Wei Jingsheng emphasized that everyone must stand on the side of the Chinese people and not be baffled by these type of propaganda.
Xin Haonian said that he has two shares of gratefulness and two feelings of guilt. He is grateful because these top-level scholars from China have not forgotten their native land despite enjoying the material wealth and spiritual freedoms of America. In the past 16 years, everyone has given money and efforts to struggle for China. He also is grateful because when he saw IFCSS members from Chicago, such as Dr. Lai AnZhi and Dr. Mao DongNing, he remembered how they help him to deliver his "Who is the New China?" book when he made a speech to the Chinese community here several years ago.
He felt guilty because many in attendance had Ph. D.'s, but although he did his post-doctorate at Columbia University, but he arrived the USA when he was almost fifty years old and he hadn't gotten any academic degrees. His second feeling of guilt was also a feeling of gratification, because efforts in China to have people rethink their history have been so successful, and that people were researching deeply into the details of history to the point that some students from China came to talk to him about new historical discoveries, making him feels guilty.

Declaration of the First Congress of the Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars in the U.S.
We are students and scholars from the People's Republic of China. We live all over the United States. We have deep interest in our fields of study. We have ambitions on becoming the scientists, artists, engineers, and the scholars of social and humanities fields of the future. We uphold the spirit of science and reason, and respect and uphold the basic rights of humankind. We devote ourselves to the advancement of social civilization and strive for a peaceful, democratic, and free society and political system.
Yet the bloody event that happened in the Chinese capital of Beijing in June 4, 1989, made us come to the poignant realization that in China, science and reason had been profaned, civilization had been trampled, and that the buds of peace, freedom, and democracy had been destroyed; the people's basic rights had been ravaged by might and violence.
At this juncture in history, we, the 40,000 Chinese students and scholars in America, have been summoned by the call of conscience and justice, and have come here together to the point that we solemnly proclaim the establishment of the Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars in the USA. We strongly condemn the current Chinese regime for its bloody suppression of its peaceful populace. We here express our bitter grief for those of our fellow countrymen that were killed, and deep sympathy to the families of the deceased and of those who have suffered. The people's blood won't have flowed in vain, and the ringleader in charge of suppressing the people will inevitably face the final trial of the people and history in the future. This day will come for sure!
-- Written on July 30, 1989, in Chicago
IFCSS (The Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars)

全美学自联12大继往开来 魏辛联席讲话
(大纪元记者鹿青霜特约记者林冲芝加哥独家报道)上周日9月26日，始建于六四屠杀后的全美中国学生学者自治联合会第12届代表大会在芝加哥举行。在主席邢铮博士主持下，来自美国各地的与会代表20余人回顾学自联精神，总结过去两年为中国的人权和民主所作的努力。大会表决通过下一届工作方向：营救王炳章博士；营救杨建立博士；谴责雅虎出卖师涛等等；大会最后投票选举产生新一届8名理事和新任主席周建。中国民运海外联席会议主席魏京生，黄花岗杂志主编辛灏年连璧在会议期间发表简短讲话。著名民主人士王有才与会。
全美中国学生学者自治联合会（学自联）12届代表大会，于芝加哥西郊Hilton酒店举行，为期一天。
大会开始，由学自联人权委员会主席黄慈萍小姐宣读了天安门母亲代表丁子霖给学自联十二大的致信。丁子霖在信中说，“每次你们开这样的大会，我都想对你们说上几句话，这不仅仅是为了向你们表示感谢，更是为了向朋友们诉说我内心的一种感受。”全体与会者为六四死难者默哀一分钟。
全美学自联在过去的16年中，一直给与六四难属提供精神和财务救援。并每年举办六四纪念活动。
__ __ __
学自联成立目标：为中国民主矢志不渝
主席邢铮于大会发言中，回顾了十六年前六四屠杀后的七月，在芝加哥，来自美国一百多所大学的中国学生、学者，几百位代表在芝加哥大学宣告摆脱中共（中领馆）领导，在美国注册成立中国留美学生学者自治联合会，实行独立自由的自治。十六年的风风雨雨中，学自联虽然人数没有当初多了，但留下的人一直坚定的维护着“独立自由”的旗帜，为中国的人权和民主奋斗，矢志不渝。
__ __ __
总结两年人权工作 确立今后重点项目
在过去两年中，学自联参与了更多援助六四难属之外的人权努力。黄慈萍汇报人权委员会工作，其它委员会的代表汇报了对王炳章博士、杨建立博士、蒋彦勇医生、丁子霖的声援和营救及继续为“天安门母亲”获得“诺贝尔和平奖”所作的努力。代表同时汇报了参与“全球审江大联盟”，“保卫新闻自由联盟”和“反对香港23条”的活动。
学自联还在过去两年中成立（中国）独立思想者支援会（FITS，Foundation of Independent Thinkers Support），救助大陆遭中共镇压迫害的独立知识份子和民主人士。
大会通过多项今后两年重点努力项目：营救中国海外学人中的民主运动先驱王炳章博士；营救学自联创始人杨建立博士；谴责雅虎出卖师涛，并协助寻求法律诉讼等。

魏京生、辛灏年联席讲话
魏京生在简短讲话中讲述亲身经历，表示他这样不易激动的人，当初在中共监狱中知道海外许多人给他写信后，两天没睡好觉。学自联十六年来在美国的独立自由旗帜和对大陆人民的支持使大陆人民非常欣慰。建议学自联多发声，多提高曝光度，进一步扩展，更加活跃。
魏京生同时殷切呼吁大家看清中共的舆论宣传，中共海外媒体的造势和其所要达到的目的。他举中共推广的“暴民政治”一词和概念为例：当今在大陆百姓忍无可忍彼伏此起反抗中共暴政之际，不是通过人民日报而是通过海外的所谓“中立”媒体，为中共大肆宣扬“暴民”、“暴动”、“暴乱”，希望即影响海外舆论，又可出口转内销欺骗大陆人民。中共海外传声筒诬蔑大陆百姓是“暴民”，用以达到影射大陆没有共产党，就会天下大乱，人人都不得安宁的目的。加之以海外的一些共特发表言论，推波助澜。
魏京生强调大家的立场一定是站在中国老百姓的立场上，而不是受颜色莫名其妙的所谓民运人士的这一类“暴民”舆论影响。
辛灏年说他有两份感慨，两份心虚。感慨一是美国的这些大陆精英虽享受美国的精神自由和物质财富，并没有忘记故土。十六年来，大家出钱出力为中国奋斗。感慨二是看到在座的美中地区的学自联的赖安智博士和毛东宁博士，想到他们当初抱着“谁是新中国”一书送自己在侨社演讲的情形。
两份心虚是在座的大多是各学科的博士，他本人虽在哥大做博士后，但来美已经年近半百，毕竟没有读学位。另一份心虚同时也是欣慰是大陆的历史反思如此成功，在历史的细部研究上非常深入，以致于他演讲时有些新从大陆出来的学生和他讨论历史细部的新发现时，他有些心虚。

新任主席和理事
大会最后选举通过新一任理事会：主席周建（电脑硕士），理事8人：邢铮博士（微生物免疫），易丹轩（非政府组织管理学硕士），黄慈萍小姐（近代物理硕士），潘强（商业管理硕士），薛天汉博士（化学），陆文禾博士（经济学），齐菊生博士（化学），王平博士（地学）。
