I remember that An Meng told us the money had already been sent back . I see

1.  CCP made the bloodshed does NOT necessarily mean you can legally or
    ethically sell or resell the blood;

2.  If you (6.4 blood beneficaries) really want to stay in the US, instead
    of execusing yourself as "I don't want to go home, becasue those CCP 
    guys will bet me", i strongly recommend you to use this as the execuse:

	"America is everyone's America.  This continent does not just belongs 
	 to Europeans or Jewish or AFricans.  We Chinese should have a piece 
	 of DiPan(land) in this country, too."  or

	"The US immigration law applied to Chinese is NOT fair"  or

	"My immigration to the US might be a population relief to China".

    This way, you won't have a political hole.

To me, your stay-in-US or not, does not make any difference, because I don't
think China will be running into bankruptacy without your appearance.  The
issue is: do NOT abuse the 6.4 blood!

Article-I.D.: riscsm.9394
Organization: The Scripps Research Institute; La Jolla, CA

Last night, Prof. Fang Li-Zhi gave a public lecture at UCSD about science
and politics in China.  During the question session, I asked him about:
Recently Deng welcomed oversea Chinese students to return to China.  What
Prof Fang will think about it and what he would expect the safety of the
oversea students if they do return.  I think he raised a good point when
answering my question (not in exact words): if the Chinese government is
really sincerely welcoming oversea students to go back to China, they
should have released those jailed students and dissidents.  Otherwise, how
can the oversea students be sure about the government's sincerity, when
those who have the same opinions and political views as oversea students
are still in prison.

-- Jimmy

P.S.  No flame please.
P.P.S.  Though I think Prof. Fang raised a good point on above question, I
don't totally agree with all of his points, such as some political views,
his interpretation of some social and political phenomena, and his (or as he
claimed, his friend's) prediction that after the central government becomes
weakened or collapsed, the Chinese people will go to make money and war(s)
between armies (like former USSR) will be unlikely.

Mr. Zhou graduated from Tsinghua University, (some of you might

(Chinese Academy of Science). He came to U.S. around 1987, first
was in the Physics Dept. of South Dakota Univ., obviously later he

Yan Xin is going to come to Ann Arbor on Apr 26 and Apr 27.
Chinese Student Union of PRC and Free Chinese Student Association
of ROC will co-organize the lecture by Yan Xin. The admission
fee is $10 for students and $20 for others. This fee is to cover

Like many people with mainland Chinese heritage, I was excited to read about
"Wang Zhen's death" that appeared on the net a few days ago. Although I think
I share many people's regrette after learning the foul scheme, I am still  
feeling somewhat exalted because I know that there are still so much concern
about China-- our country. Even a rather ludicrous rumour about a old guy's
death (a rather queer thing to celebrate about) that hints upon the possibility  
of revival of our homeland could generate so much excitment and hope in the
hearts of us Chinese who are far away from our homeland. I think this unity of
hearts, of patriotism and concern for the motherland, is something far worthy
of loud cheers and applauses than the death of a hundred Wang Zhen.

There is not such a thing called 6/4 blood abuse, let me show you
the reasons 1,2,3:

   1) There exists political repression in China. Dissidents are prosecuted
      by CCP in all kinds of forms metally and physically. Do you agree
      with me on this FACT?
   2) People have the right to enjoy political freedom, and if this can't
      be achieved in their home country, it is alright for them to emmigrant
      to a free country.
   3) Agreed? Then the conclution is it is alright for Chinese people
      to immigrant to the US for political reason. Right?

Now, what is so-called 6/4 green card? Nothing but immigration for
fear of political prosecution. This law should be passed in 1949. 6/4
was just an incentive that pushed the congress put it on the schedule.
Since Chinese people deserve it even before 6/4, how can you call it
6/4 blood abuse?

I think sometimes ago, Mr. Lin Wei talked about this. My personal
opinion is that the time interval between a Chieh (Jie) and a Ch'i
(Qi) or vise versa is the time that the Earth rotate the Sun by 15
degrees. By Kepler's law, the Earth sweeps the same area during the
same time. When the Earth is farer from the Sun, which happens in
summer, it takes longer to rotate 15 degrees. You can find a calendar
(solar or lunar as long as there is Chieh-Ch'i (Jie Qi)) and check
the time interval between Chieh (Jie) and Ch'i (Qi). You will find
it is almost 15 or 16 days, sometimes even 17 days during summer;
but it is about 14 or 15 days during winter. That 'qualitatively'
illustrates the relationship between Chieh-Ch'i (Jie-Qi) and solar
calendar.

Remember that the intervals between Chieh-Ch'i or Ch'i-Chieh are not
uniform. During winter time, this interval is short; a lunar month
(month is of course lunar) easily covers one Chieh and one Ch'i.
During summer, this interval is longer; it's more likely that a lunar
month can not cover both Chieh and Ch'i. Lunar forth and fifth
probably are the time when the Earth is far away from the Sun.

Yet you cannot deny the following facts:

(1). My article is worth reading (and the fact you read it).
(2). My article is not against the law, since the issue and people
     involved are political and public.
(3). The fact that CCP has the history of not respecting the people
     they govern (my parents told me that every letter I sent home

i thought about this idea be4, but i don't think it will work.
