Wei
Jingsheng Speaks at Vassar College
On
April 17, 2013, Mr. Wei Jingsheng was invited to speak at the prestigious
Vassar College about current Chinese politics and the democracy movement, as
well as the future direction for China.
The
two hour long event was conducted in the auditorium in Taylor Hall, with many
questions and answers. Jih Kim,
head of the Asian Students' Alliance, hosted the event, and Jill Levine, a
senior at Vassar who just completed her senior capstone project on the Xidan
Democracy Wall Movement, introduced Wei Jingsheng and his translator Huang
Ciping. (Ms. Levine had a good
interview of Mr. Wei in February 2013 that is recorded in her paper available
at: http://digitalwindow.vassar.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1162&context=senior_capstone.)
During
the event, Mr. Wei Jingsheng talked extensively and frankly about the Xidan
Democracy Wall Movement in 1978 and his role during that movement; the 1989
democracy movement that ended with June 4 Massacre by the Communist regime; the
role of Chinese intellectuals and the "3 representatives" of the
Communist Party; the unstable and unbalanced society especially the disparity
of rich and poor in China; the need of reform and the obstacles; the like hood
of a revolution and people's limited choices; the division within the Communist
leadership, especially the dilemma the new leadership is facing; Chinese
government's effort to destroy democracy movement, and the reputation the
Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition under his leadership has to both Chinese
people and international society.
In particular, Mr. Wei emphasized that himself is just an average
person, while the improvement of a society need many people's joint effort.
The
event was preceded by a dinner with the students and ended with a reception in
the auditorium. After the event,
the enthusiastic students and professors talked with Mr. Wei for more than one
hour on the beautiful campus of Vassar College.
