On the Day of YU DongYue's Release

On February 22, 2006, YU DongYue is finally released from jail after nearly 17 years in prison, and several times of claims by the Chinese government of releasing him. Nevertheless, just as described previously by his jail mates and family members, the abuses and suffering have left permanent marks on him, that he could not even recognize his own mother and family members. In a letter from his younger brother, Yu Dongyue was described as: "He talks without any sense and order, or otherwise he answers with his silence. It is very difficult to make conversation. There are numerous scars and wounds on his hands and legs, although no obvious ones on his body. There is a scar in C shape on his forehead, and another one in the back of his head in Y shape. Both of them are about 3.5 inches long, very noticeable even though he has inch long hair.”

It is hard to describe our feeling upon learning all these. Yu Dongyue has made his greatest sacrifice for his democracy believe and actions. Yu is the winner of the "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Special Prize" on December 5, 2005. (For more detail, please read the award dedication in our newsletter A170-W80 at: http://www.weijingsheng.org/report/report2005/report2005-12/WJSF2ndPrize051205announcementA170-W80.htm. Another report of Yu DongYue is available by Radio Free Asia at:

Currently, the $2,000.00 award to Yu DongYue has been delivered. We wish this will help Yu DongYue at this difficult transaction time, and urge all the kind hearted people to pay attention on Yu and provide help when it is possible. We believe the positive income comes from the international attention and pressure.

YU Dongyue, CHEN Xi, and WU Yilong Win the Second Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Advocate Award"

-- Radio Free Asia "Journeys of the Soul" Program - reporter, editor, host, and producer: Zhang Min (December 10, 2005)

On December 5, 2005, The U.S.-based headquarters of the Wei Jingsheng Foundation announced the selections of the winners of its second annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize". The three winners were Yu Dongyue, Chen Xi, and Wu Yilong. Ms. Huang Ciping, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation's Executive Director, read the announcement of the award. Please listen to a few paragraphs from the announcement:

Said Huang Ciping: "The Wei Jingsheng Foundation Announces the Foundation's Second Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize". December 5, 2005.

In 2004, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation established the annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize", to be awarded on December 5 of each year. On this date in 1978 Wei Jingsheng wrote his famous essay "The Fifth Modernization." Last year's award was shared by HU Shigen and LIU Xianbin. This award has greatly encouraged those in China who persist in fighting for democracy and who risk their lives at all times.

This year, there were 11 qualified candidates in total: CHA, Jianguo; CHEN, Xi; GUO, Shaokun; HE, Depu; QIN, Yongmin; WU, Yilong; XU, Wanping; YU, Dongyue; ZHANG Lin; ZHAO Xin; ZHU Zhengming. All of the candidates made outstanding contributions to the Chinese democracy movement. Many people are holed up in jails, and their futures are bleak. We deeply respect both their spirit and the sacrifices they have made. This year, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation decided to establish a Special Award for YU Dongyue. The Second Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize" goes to WU Yilong and CHEN Xi.

Mr. YU Dongyue is from Liuyang in Hunan Province. He was born in 1967, and graduated from the Chinese Department of the Xiangtan Junior Pedagogical College. In 1989 he was the Arts Editor of the "Liuyang Daily." During the June 4th period in 1989, he went to Tiananmen Square with Yu Zhijian and Lu Decheng and hung up two banners there. One banner said, "5,000 Years of Autocracy Will Now Reach an End," and the other said, "From Now On, the Personality Cult Must Come to an Stop." They then threw paint-filled eggs at the huge portrait of Mao Zedong that hangs in Tiananmen Square. After Yu Dongyue and the other two were seized and sent to the Public Security Bureau, they were sentenced for "Counter-Revolutionary Crimes of Damage and Crimes of Propagating Incitement." Yu Dongyue was sentenced to 20 years in jail. Not long after he was sent to jail he was driven to insanity, and still suffers inhuman torments.

Mr. WU Yilong is from Tongcheng in Anhui Province. He was born on May 1, 1967. In 1996 he entered a Master's Degree program in literature at Zhejiang University. In 1998, along with Wang Youcai and Zhu Zhengming, he formally established the Zhejiang Preparatory Committee of the China Democracy Party. During a time when Wang Youcai and others were put into custody, Wu Yilong organized many efforts to rescue them. Starting from the end of August, he took two trips to more than twenty provinces, cities, and autonomous regions all over the country to communicate with local people in person and to have them establish Preparatory Committees for establishing a China Democracy Party in their regions; he also started planning for a nationwide Preparatory Committee. On November 9, 1999, Wu Yilong, along with Mao Qingxiang, Zhu Yufu, and Xu Guang, were sentenced by the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court for "Subverting the National Regime." Wu Yilong was sentenced to 11 years in jail, where he remains today.

Mr. Chen Xi, originally named Chen Youcai, was born on February 29, 1954, in Guiyang City of Guizhou Province. In 1989 he was sentenced by the Guizhou Province, Guiyang City Intermediate People's Court to three years in prison for organizing a "Guiyang Friendship Association" and a "Patriotic Democracy Friendship Association" in support of the Students' freedom and democracy movement. In May of 1995 he, along with Lu Yongxiang, Liao Shuangyan, Huang Yanming, Zeng Ning, and others, organized and established the "Guizhou branch of the China Democracy Party." In March of 1996, the Guiyang City Intermediate People's Court sentenced Chen Xi to ten years in prison for "Organizing and Leading Counter-Revolutionary Cliques." Because of Chen Xi's important role as organizer and leader of the democracy movement in Guizhou Province, the autocratic regime sentenced him to the maximum jail time, of a total of 13 years. In May of this year, Chen Xi finally finished his senteence and was released. To this day, Chen has not changed his ideals of seeking democracy and freedom. He continues to work tirelessly with other advocates to develop different human rights and democracy activities in a reasoned and controlled manner.

The Wei Jingsheng Foundation awards the "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize" and "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Special Prize" to these three people to honor their firm convictions and their determined style, and to express our consistent support for the Chinese democracy movement, as well as our gratitude and encouragement towards all of the democracy advocates who have devoted themselves to the cause.

We have received total donations specifically for this year's awards amounting to $5,600 US dollars from various donors. We need to state that the donations that people have given to the monetary prizes for these awards also expresses their determined support of Chinese democracy. Here we express our heartfelt gratitude.

Wei Jingsheng Foundation' second Annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion Prize" judging committee: HUANG Ciping, CHEN Xingyu, CHEN Bangzheng, LIU Jijie (signed)."

The President of the "Wei Jingsheng Foundation", Mr. Wei Jingsheng appealed for democracy in the 1970's, and was sentenced for a total of 29 years as a result. After being jailed for 18 years, he was released to the U.S. in 1997. Mr. Wei Jingsheng accepted my interviewed and discussed this year's award.

Wei Jingsheng: "Simply speaking, first, I didn't participate in the process of selecting the awardees. This selection process was done by the Prize Judging Committee and by our Executive Director, Huang Ciping. The process of selection was of course careful, meticulous, and was one in which people discussed things over and over. I think that the major trait of this award is that it encourages those who are doing solid work without attracting public attention. It doesn't matter whether you are famous in the media or not; we have never taken this into consideration. We only take into consideration your contributions and the tribulations you have faced. This is what everyone looked at in the selection process after I discussed this with everyone. I believe they made excellent selections."

Among the three awardees, Chen Xi, the only one who is free after just came out of jail, accepted my interview from Guizhou Province.

Chen Xi: "After receiving the news about winning the award, I felt that we democracy advocates in mainland China, in such an autocratic society, to be able to receive concern and attention from advocates and people overseas, we feel that we are in fact not lonely. Here, although our environment is very harsh, we have received support and encouragement. So I am very gratified to have won this award. That is to say, it's not just given to me; I'm just a symbol and represent this land on the mainland without human rights, and where the rule of law is imperfect. For those of us who are able to contribute to human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, for those of use who work quietly, it in fact is an encouragement to all of us.

The above was the "Journeys of the Soul" Program reported, edited, hosted, and produced by Zhang Min.

2006年2月22日，入狱近17年的喻东岳终于被释放了。然而，他所遭受的折磨与痛苦也是惊人的。以下是他弟弟的描述：“他语无论次或沉默不答，交谈沟通困难。手脚伤痕累累，躯体无明显伤痕。头皮前部有一"C"型伤疤；头皮后部有一"Y"型伤疤，均八九公分长，寸发，显眼。” (喻东岳狱中相片:

喻东岳、陈西、吴义龙获第二届"魏京生中国民主斗士奖"

2006.02.21

"心灵之旅"节目，采访编辑、主持制作：张敏（2005，12，10）

2005年12月5日，总部设在美国的"魏京生基金会"公布了第二届"魏京生中国民主斗士奖"评选结果。三位获奖者是喻东岳、陈西和吴义龙。"魏京生基金会"执行主任黄慈萍女士宣读颁奖公告。请听其中的部分段落：

黄慈萍："'魏京生基金会'第二届'魏京生中国民主斗士奖'颁发公告。魏京生基金会2004年设立的'魏京生中国民主斗士奖'定于每年12月5日颁发。这个日子也是魏京生先生1978年发表著名的《第五个现代化》一文的日子。去年的奖金由胡石根和刘贤斌两人分享。那些尚在中国坚持奋斗，随时都有生命危险的人们因此得到了极大的激励。今年的候选人共有以下十一名：查建国、陈西、郭少坤、何德普、秦永敏、吴义龙、许万平、喻东岳、张林、赵昕、祝正明。所有候选人都为中国民主作出了卓越的贡献，许多人深陷牢狱，前途未卜。他们的精神和所有的牺牲都是我们非常敬仰的。今年，'魏京生基金会'决定设立一个'魏京生中国民主斗士特别奖'，获奖人为喻东岳，同时决定把第二届'魏京生中国民主斗士奖'颁发给吴义龙和陈西先生。

喻东岳，男，湖南浏阳人，生于1967年，毕业于湘潭师专中文系。1989年任《浏阳日报》美术编辑。1989年'六四'期间，他和余志坚和鲁德成三人一起在天安门广场挂起两幅标语；一幅是'五千年专制从此告一段落'，一幅是'个人崇拜从此可以休矣'，然后用带有颜料的鸡蛋涂抹在悬挂在天安门城楼上的毛泽东巨幅画像上。喻东岳等三人被扭送到公安局以后，分别以'反革命破坏罪'和'宣传煽动罪'被判处徒刑。喻东岳被判二十年徒刑，入狱以后不久被逼成疯，至今仍在狱中遭受非人的折磨。

吴义龙，男，安徽桐城人，生于1967年5月1日。1996年进入浙江大学攻读文学硕士学位，1998年与王有才、祝正明正式确定创建中国民主党浙江筹委会有关事宜。在王有才等被拘禁期间，吴义龙组织各项营救活动。从8月底开始，他先后两次前往全国二十多个省市自治区，联络成立中国民主党各地筹委会，并为成立全国筹委会做好了准备工作。1999年11月9日，吴义龙与毛庆祥、朱虞夫、徐光一起被杭州中级人民法院以'颠覆国家政权罪'被同时判刑。吴义龙被判十一年，至今还在狱中。

陈西，本名陈友才，男，1954年2月29日生于贵州贵阳。1989年在声援学生自由民主运动期间因组织'贵阳沙龙联谊会'，成立'爱国民主联合会'被贵州省，贵阳市中级人民法院判刑三年。1995年5月他与卢勇祥、廖双元、黄燕明、曾宁等组建'中国民主党贵州分部'。1996年3月，陈西被贵州中级人民法院以'组织领导反革命集团罪'第二次判刑十年。由于陈西在贵州民主运动中的领导者、组织者身份，他是贵州民运人士中被专制政权判刑最重的一个，前后被判刑十三年。今年5月刑满释放，追求民主自由的理念至今不变，并与其他同道一起马不停蹄地开始了各项有力有节的人权与民主活动。

'魏京生基金会'将'魏京生中国民主斗士奖'及'魏京生中国民主斗士特别奖'颁发给这三个人以表彰他们坚定的信念、坚强不屈的作风，以及表达我们对中国民主运动的一贯支持，并对所有为之献身的民主斗士的感激和鼓励。这次从各个渠道汇集的奖金总额是五千六百美元，为奖金捐献的人们表达了他们支持中国民主的热情和坚定，在此我们表示衷心的感谢。

'魏京生基金会'魏京生中国民主斗士奖评委会，黄慈萍、陈兴宇、陈邦铮、刘继杰签署。2005年12月5日。"

'魏京生基金会'主席魏京生先生在上个世纪七十年代提出民主诉求，在中国先后两次被判刑共二十九年。坐牢十八年后，于1997年保外就医来到美国。魏京生先生接受我的采访，谈这届评奖的情况。

魏京生："简单的说，首先我没有参加这个评奖活动。这个评奖活动都是评委们和执行主任黄慈萍他们一起做的这个事情。评的过程当然是很慎重、很仔细，经过反复讨论的。我觉得我们这个奖最大的特点就是奖励这些默默无闻的人，踏踏实实工作的人，不管你在媒体上是有名的还是没名的，这点我们从来不考虑。我们只考虑你对工作的贡献和受到的磨难。这也是我跟大家谈完了以后，大家去评。我觉得评得非常好。"

三位获奖人中，唯一刑满出狱的陈西先生在贵州接受了我的采访。

陈西："得到这个获奖的消息，我感觉到我们这些民运人士在大陆，正在这麽一个专制的社会，能够得到海外以及其他人士的关怀和关注，我们感觉到我们并不孤单。我们在这里，尽管环境很艰苦，我们得到一种支持和鼓舞。所以对得到这个奖呢，我很欣慰，也就是说，它不仅仅是发给我一个人，我只是一个符号，代表了在大陆这么一种很没有人权法制不健全的这么一个土地上，能够为人权民主法制作出贡献，在默默地工作的我们这一类的人，实际是对我们大家的一种鼓舞。"

以上"心灵之旅"节目是由张敏采访编辑、主持制作的。
