"Dear" William Deng,

        Did you ever hear about the blooded bread?  Maybe you are too young
to know it, or you just want to ignore it.  Well, let me remind you
something and ask you some questions:

       1.  In Chinese history, Mr. Tan Xi-Tong was killed by the Chinese
           government then.  His head was cut off.  Someone used his blood
           to put on bread and ate it.  Mr. Tan could escape if he wanted to.
           But he wanted to use his own blood to wake up the Chinese people.
           I thought he was our chinese hero.  After reading your "famous"
           comments about Shen's action, I am confused now.  Did Mr. Tan
           want to be famous too? Indeed,  Mr. Tan is famous now.  Please
           advise me if I was wrong.  In case you did not know this true
           story, you can read the chinese history book, or more easily, to
           see the chinese movies "Tan Xi-Tong" or "Da Dao Wang-Wu".  Both
           movies were released by the Chinese authorities so you will not
           get any trouble from seeing the movies.  BTW, if you don't feel
           well or you know someone who has some diseases, the blooded breads
           maybe a good choice to eat.
       2.  Not long time ago, some people said that the so-called "democracy
           fighters" were "chicken".  If they really fight for Democracy in
           China, they should go back China and do something there, not here
           in US.  Well, someone did go back China now.  But this time you
           said, Shen just wanted to be famous.  HaHa! I tried to be famous
           for a long time, but I am still an unfamous guy.  Now, I found out
           that there are at least two ways to be famous: one is what Shen
           did, another is the way you did.  Comparing the two ways, I think
           your way is more smart, because you can hold a green card in one
           hand, and leave another hand to do something else.
       3.  I am respect your famous announcement "No matter who do something
           harmful to China's Interests, I will fight against him/her".  But
           I am not so clear about your definition of "China's Interests".
           To do something, some people may think it is to protect China's
           Interests, but some people may think it is againt China's
           Interests.  For example,  is what Shen did for or against your
           so-called "China's Interests"?  Please advise me again.
           Another examples are what you did in 1986 and in US (such as lobby
           for the Protection Bill etc) as you claimed.  Are what you did
           against or for the China's Interests?
           BTW, your announcement reminds me a Red Guard's famous slogan "No
           matter who is against our great, great, great, great Chairman Mao,
           we will fight against him/her untill we die with blood".  Don't
           you think to protect Chairman Mao is to protect your so-called
           "China's Interests"?
        4. On Shen's action, Mr. T. Bao has a feeling ".... funny instead of
           brave ...".  What do you think about his feeling?  In the movie
           "Tan Xi-Tong", some people felt funny and enjoyable when they saw
           Mr. Tan's head was cut off.  I don't know what you will feel when
           you see this horrible scene.

Regards,

John Xu
