--
A Poem by Dr. WANG Bingzhang, Translated by Dr. LI Gang
Editor
Ciping HUANG's note:
We
are publishing Dr. Wang Bingzhang's poem on the dedication page of his Ph. D.
dissertation in June 1982. I feel
very emotional when I am writing this editorial piece. My heart is saddened by the state and
suffering of the author, Dr. WANG Bingzhang, who is serving a life sentence in
Chinese prison after being kidnapped from Vietnam in 2002. He has been in jail for more than 15
years, with poor health and unknown future.
To
make a short note about Dr. WANG Bingzhang whom I have known for more than 30
years is uneasy. I learned of him
when I just came to the USA as a new graduate student in physics. My ego was very high and of course I
treasured this golden opportunity to study in the USA. So when I heard of someone who was even
before me and better than me, who gave up his newly awarded medical doctor's
degree and guaranteed comfortable life in North America for the democracy
movement in China, I was quite shocked and moved.
For
years, I received and read China Spring Magazine every month, which Dr. WANG
took charge of, for promoting democracy and freedom in China. To my knowledge, a lot of Chinese
students all over the world received this magazine and received profound
influence from it. I also was
involved with other students to have Dr. Wang speak on our university campus,
which was equally mind-opening and stimulating.
Around
1990, I had more contact with Wang Bingzhang during our effort to establish the
first opposition party overseas, as the IFCSS members and mostly members of the
Chinese Democratic Alliance lead by Dr. Wang tried to merge together. The union was uneasy (which I will tell
my side of in my memoir as a witness of the history). As I look back, there were differences and complications
that were somehow beyond the imagination of a simple idealist young woman like
me at that time.
As
time passed by, I got to know Dr. Wang more and more. Despite having different personalities and approaches, I
gained more respect of him over the years, not just for his ability, but also
more for his determination and taking action. In the spring of 1998, I was detained in China by the secret
police and was under interrogation for days that I not fully understood. After I was forced out of China, I
learned that during that period, Dr. Wang went back to China to contact
activists there, in an effort to establish an opposition party. Although this action was controversial,
it displayed his willingness and determination to do something for China.
The
last time I saw him was in the spring of 2002 when each of us gave inspiring
speeches. We shook hands politely
in a hurry and I did not realize that could be our last handshake for
life. I still remember his
emotional speech with his brave tune and determined eyesight that day about the
need to go back to China. Yet, I
was surprised to learn that indeed he did what he planned to do: two months
later, he went to Vietnam.
Subsequently he was abducted in Vietnam and sent to China and received a
life sentence.
We
were always different, but I always admire and respect what he did. For the last 15 years of his
imprisonment, I have thought of him often and would take every opportunity to
win his freedom that he deserves.
Here, we present Wang Bingzhang's poem on the dedication page of his Ph.
D. dissertation, as he stated his will to give up an easy life and his medical
degree for a rough road of democracy future in China.

About
the author Dr. WANG Bingzhang:
Wang
Bingzhang was born on December 30, 1947, in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. He graduated from Beijing Medical
University and served as a doctor for eight years. In 1979, he was sponsored by
the Chinese government to study abroad in McGill University, Canada where he
obtained his Ph.D. degree in pathology in 1982. In 1982, Wang established China Spring, the first
pro-democracy Chinese magazine overseas. In the next year, he launched the "Chinese
Democratic Alliance" publicly denouncing the one party rule in China. He was involved with the founding of the
Chinese Freedom Democracy Party and Chinese Democracy Justice Party in 1990 and
1998, respectively.
In
June 2002, Wang went to Vietnam where he was abducted by Chinese secret agents.
In December 2002, the Chinese
government announced his arrest after six months in secret custody. In February 2003, Wang was sentenced to
life in prison, on charges of espionage and terrorism. His trial was closed to
the public and lasted for one day. He is imprisoned in Shaoguan Prison in Shaoguan, Guangdong
Province, China.

Wang Bingzhang's poem on the dedication page of his Ph. D. dissertation
June
1982
When
banished to the River to the Sky as a medicine graduate,
I recited the epic poem Lisao by the rock
where the Tang Monk had dried scriptures.
Now
I have fulfilled my wish for coming to the West,
but the calling of the East is ever there.
Getting
a doctor's degree was a minor goal;
and those three hardworking years were for
the purpose of serving my country.
A
dragon should make giant waves back in the sea;
and I shall not be like the Monk who
forgot his words.

"为自由而浪迹天涯
-- 中国流亡及牢狱文学与艺术系列"作品选
诗歌：王炳章博士：为了祖国的春天（题于博士论文扉页的序言诗）
黄慈萍的编者按：
写这篇编者按，让我感慨万千。这里，我们发表王炳章在1982年6月题在他博士论文扉页的序言诗。这是他“决意放弃医学生涯，从事民主运动的宣言”。想到2002年在越南被绑架，被中共判无期徒刑的王炳章博士的目前的状况和所承受的磨难，我倍感痛心。王炳章博士已被囚15年。他健康不佳，未来难卜。
欲以寥寥几句来介绍我已知道了30多年的王炳章博士是不易的。在我作为物理系的研究生来美国的当年，我就听说了他。那时的我很自傲，也极其珍惜在美国留学的好机会。所以当我听说有人走在我前面且做得比我更好，却又为了民运放弃了他刚获得医学博士学位及其所能带来的在北美的安逸舒适的生活时，我是非常震惊并深受感动的。
之后多年，我每月都能收阅到王炳章博士主持的，推动中国民主自由的“中国之春”杂志。据我所知，当年世界各地有很多中国留学生都收到了这本杂志，并受其深刻影响。我还曾和其他留学生一起在我们校园里举办王炳章的讲座，他的讲话对当时幼稚的我们是很刺激且大开眼界的。
1990年前后，我们试图在海外建立与中共抗争的第一个反对党，因此与王炳章有了更多一层的联系。当时的参与者主要是像我这样的全美学自联里主张组党的成员和以王炳章为首的主要是民联的成员。我们试图合作，成立海外第一个能与中共对峙的反对党。但这次合作并不成功（作为历史的见证，我的回忆录中有我所知道的相关部分）。现在回首，其差异和复杂超出了当时还是一个理想主义者的年轻女子的我的简单想象。
随着时间的流逝，我也越来越了解王炳章。尽管我们的个性和方式方法并不相同，但我越来越尊重他。这不仅仅是因为他有能力，更多的是由于他有决心并说到做到。1998年春，我被秘密警察拘留在中国，受审好几天。当时我不完全明白其中的缘由。但在我被迫踢出中国后，我了解到在同一时间段里，王炳章回到中国，他联系了那里的民运人士并试图建立一个反对党。虽然他当时的行为是有争议的，但这行为本身的确表现出他为中国人民做事情的意愿和决心。
我最后一次看到他是在2002年春季在纽约的活动上。当时我们每个人都发表了演讲，很慷慨激昂。我和他礼节地匆匆握手，却并没有意识到这也许就是我们此生最后的一次握手。我仍然记得他那天激动人心的演讲及其它细节，尤其是讲述为什么要回中国搞民运。不久之后，我便惊讶地得知，他的确做了他说要做的事情：仅仅两个月后，他去越南，在那里被绑架并被遣送到中国，之后被判处无期徒刑。
我和王炳章虽然非常不同，但我始终敬仰和尊重他为中国民运所做的事情。在他失去自由的15年来，我经常会想到他，也希望尽自己之所能努力为他赢得他应有的自由。

1983年，王炳章创建海外第一个民运组织「中国民主团结联盟」，担任第一、二届主席。1990年，他参与创建中国自由民主党，担任第二届主席。1998年，他潜入中国大陆推动筹组民主活动，二周后被中共逮捕并驱逐出境。1998年，他参与创建中国民主正义党，出任发言人和中国民主运动干部学校理事会顾问。
2002年6月，王炳章在越南边境附近遭绑架，在中国领土上遭公安逮捕。2003年2月，广东省深圳市中级人民法院以为台湾从事间谍活动和组织领导恐怖组织的罪名判处王炳章无期徒刑，他目前正在韶关北江监狱服刑。一直以来都被狱方单独关押，禁止任何人与他交流，目前他已经中风多次。

为了祖国的春天
-- 王炳章
1982年6月
当年谪医通天河，晒经石旁诵《离》歌。
如今偿愿闯西域，自古难阻向东波。
拿个博士区区志，卧薪三载为报国。
蛟龙归海腾巨浪，莫丧经书剩传说。
