This Chinese New Year

Send a Message of Hope

To a Chinese Political Prisoner



T'is the Year of the Rooster ...

A phrase from the tThree Character Canonv ...

The rooster announces the morning:

tEvery creature has a useful role.  What is ours?v

tEvery creature contributes something to the world.v



This Chinese New Year, please remember those who contribute
their lives and freedom in the struggle for their political and
religious beliefs.

Please join our ADP Chinese New Year campaign to send messages
to those languishing in Chinese prisons and labor camps.



How will my message help?

Your New Year message will be a source of comfort to the
imprisoned dissident.  It will let him know that, although he is
suffering, he is not forgotten.  In addition, a large number of
letters and cards will send a signal to the prison authorities
that the world is watching.  Chinese authorities have been known
to improve a prisoner's treatment, or even to release him, when
world attention has been focused on his case.



How do I send my message?

You can send a message by sending the dissidents a Chinese New
Year greeting card.  If it is inconvenient for you, simply send
an ordinary blank postcard or a short letter.

	Send the card or letter to the addresses included.  Overseas
postage for a typical letter (less than half-an-ounce) is 50
cents, or two 29-cents stamps. Please be sure to write tAIR
MAILv on the envelope.

Who can I help?

Please take just a minute to write to any one of the following 
political prisoners (you may of course send more if you have
time):



Chen Lantao (~/}A), an engineer at the Chinese Oceanic
Institute, was arrested in June 12, 1989 by the Tsingtao Public
Security Bureau.   His only crime was making public speeches
protesting the June 4th Massacre.  He was sentenced to 18 years
in prison and stripped of political rights for 5 years for
counter-revolutionary proganda, disturbing public security and
disruption of traffic. The evidence against Mr. Chen was his
diary and two black arm-bands.  His wife was also detained for
53 days during the summer of 1989, even though she was pregnant
at the time.

Liu Gang (-B!),  a student at the Chinese University of Science
and Technology, was third on the Chinese governmentFs tmost
wantedv list as a result of his participation in the June 4th
democracy movement.  He was arrested in June 19, 1989 at Hubei. 
In 1991, he was sentenced to 6 years for counter-revolutionary
activities.

Zhang Yafei (i?.!9), a student at Qinghua University, was
arrested in October 1990 for being one of the organizers of the
tNational Salvation Frontv and for counter-revolutionary
propaganda - publishing a magazine and distributing leaflets. 
Sentenced to 11 years in prison, he is suffering from poor
health and his legs may have been crippled.  His wife was also
detained for two months for her involvement with the
pro-democracy movement.  She is now unemployed and living with
her parents in Beijing.

Zhang Guazhong (iQqq), a freelance writer, often provided
timely accounts of political reform to several major Hong Kong
newspapers.  He was arrested in 1989 for his role in the
democracy movement.  He was released from prison after 13
months, but remains under house arrest.

Wang Peigong (q2wq;) a famous playwright in China, has been
jailed many times for his liberal writings.  A veteran advocate
of reforms, he is well respected by many democracy activists. 
Since his release from the notorious Qingzhang Prison, he has
been under house arrest.

Bao Zunxin (Q]@=H) is a former history researcher at the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.  In his tOpen Letter of
April 21v to the Chinese  authorities, he led a group of
preeminent intellectuals in demanding political reform.  He was
later imprisoned for his aggressive and dedicated support of the
1989 democracy movement.  He was recently transferred  from
prison to house arrest on account of his severe heart condition.
Because he lacks the finanicial means for necessary medical
care, his health is deteriorating rapidly.
