September 30, 2020
December 5 this year

of the 17th annual "Wei Jingsheng Chinese Democracy Champion
Prize".
Now, the Wei Jingsheng
Foundation is opening the call for nominations for this sixteenth annual

2006: GUO Feixiong and

democracy.
2008: LIU Jingsheng,

Tianshui, for their work and effort to push for freedom inside China,
especially Internet freedom.

tenacious showing of character we can all learn from.
2011: LIU Di (deceased),

2012：WANG

an opposition party in China under the one-party rule of the Communist Party.
2013: The dozens of
activists from the Chengdu "Chain-Gate" rights defending group that
united together with relentless struggle against the tyranny with insistence
and persistence.
2014: The people who
struggle for genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong.
2015: Chen Shuqing, who
not only adhered to the democratic concept, but also worked to put it into
action for nearly 2 decades.
2016: Fan Baolin, in an
uneasy rebellion within the Communist regime.
2017: Tang Jingling, a
Chinese Christian of faith and conscience which led him to embark on a road of
thorns.
2018: Zhu Yufu, an
active veteran who devoted more than 40 years of his life to the modern
democracy movement in China since the Democracy Wall 40 years ago.
2019: Cardinal Joseph
Zen, for firmly supported the Hong Kong democratic movement and strongly
opposed the Communist interference in the missionary activities and religious
freedom of the church.
The Wei Jingsheng
Foundation wishes this annual prize to serve as a continued and consistent
encouragement to Chinese democracy advocates who have devoted themselves to and
contributed to the progress of Chinese democracy, despite the suppression from
the Communist government. Thus, the
prize is designated mainly for democracy advocators who are inside China.
The annual announcement
is made on December 5, the date of publication in 1978 of "The 5th
Modernization - Democracy", by Mr. Wei Jingsheng. This date was a landmark for the Chinese
democracy process. The prize was
initiated with the encouragement and financial support of an anonymous donor
who promised an essential $1,000.00 annually as seed money for it. We encourage more donors to contribute to
this award specifically. (Tax-exempt
receipts will be provided for your federal tax deduction purposes, as well as
your choice of public acknowledgment or remaining anonymous.)
Since the establishment
of this prize, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation has received many nominations, and
much feedback and encouragement in this regard.
We encourage the participation and recommendations from our colleagues
and friends as before.
If you have a person or
a group to nominate, please send the name, the credentials, other possible
referrals, methods of communication and other details to us by midnight on
Saturday, November 14, 2020 (US Eastern Time).
