Acting "For the Public Good"

(U) THIS DOCUMENT IS SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED. PLEASE
PROTECT ACCORDINGLY. NOT FOR RELEASE OUTSIDE U.S.

¶1. (SBU) Summary and comment: Li Datong, the originator of
the China Youth Daily's "Freezing Point" section, is the
most prominent person named in the Nanfengchuang ("South
Wind Window") list of 2005 annual award winners for acting
"for the public good" -- the magazine's raison d'etre.
Then again, Nanfengchuang would have lost credibility as
south China's most progressive journal if it had not
included Li. The other 35 Nanfengchuang individual and
organization award winners are arguably less controversial,
from a Chinese government perspective. One foreign
recipient was a Japanese woman who worked to maintain the
truth about the Nanjing Massacre -- demonstrating the
periodical's patriotic credentials. Other foreign or
foreign-linked award recipients included the International
Finance Corporation, Greenpeace, the religiously based
Amity Foundation, and the committee of East Asian scholars
from a variety of countries who jointly compiled an
"objective" history of the region. Domestic award-winners
included a respectable list of government officials or
agencies who took extraordinary efforts -- sometimes at the
cost of careers -- on behalf of local citizens and
constituents, individuals who were extraordinarily generous
despite sometimes personal straitened circumstances, and
campaigners for freedom of expression, labor justice,
environmental protection, public health, the rule of law,
and other worthy causes. This message uses synopses of
Nanfengchuang's award citation remarks for each recipient
and does not constitute the Consulate's commentary. We
have provided synopses on all the award winners so that
some of our readership might have handy a representative
list of individuals and organizations who, at least from
the Nanfengchuang's perspective, make up part of the fabric
of China's very limited civil society sector. Notable is
the nearly total absence from the list of any prominent
private business philanthropists -- the subject of a future
message by Consulate Guangzhou. End Summary and Comment.
2005 INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
CATEGORY: GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
------------------------------
Zhang Hongjun: resigning with ease
----------------------------------
¶2. (U) When he was a senior official as the Director of
the Pricing Bureau of Fuyang City, Zhang, 46, had the
unusual courage not to follow the hidden rules of the
leadership. He overruled the inappropriate collecting of
fees by the local education bureau and schools, a decision
that led to revenge by local municipal leaders. Later he
was transferred to another position from which he resigned
and became an ordinary citizen.
CATEGORY: PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS
--------------------------------------------- -
Hong Kezhu: calling for education equity
----------------------------------------
¶3. (U) Hong, 62, is a delegate to the National Congress.
He made a well-known proposal requesting "the unifying of
the entrance exams and admission scores by the 30 key
national universities." Hong pointed out that big cities
like Beijing and Shanghai occupied excessively large and
unfair proportion of quality education resources compared
with other provinces. He not only pointed out the problem
on behalf of the people's interest, but also was
constructive in providing a solution in his proposal. He
is also complimented for his modern public affairs
awareness in seeking political and mass media assistance in
realizing his goal.
Zhang Fengxian: the Queen of Proposals
--------------------------------------
¶4. (U) Zhang, 62, submitted a total of 187 proposals
during her 15 years as a National Congress Delegate and 3
years as a Zhejiang Provincial Congress Delegate. Starting
GUANGZHOU 00005378 002 OF 008
as a worker and driven by her tireless pursuit of equity
and justice, Zhang focused her proposals on the interest of
workers and tried her best to find a systematic and
regulated solution. Many of her proposals have been
included into the provincial congress's legislative agenda.
CATEGORY: RULE OF LAW
Pu Zhiqiang: a lawyer defending the right of media
--------------------------------------------- -----
¶5. (U) Pu, 40, has been trying to expand the space for the
Chinese media and the public to express their will by
introducing famous verdicts and news report from foreign
cases involving the freedom of media report and the freedom
of expression. He understands that the implementation of
all basic citizens' rights stipulated in the Constitution
starts with safeguarding freedom of expression. He has
participated in a number of cases in which individuals sued
official media organizations even when the plaintiffs had
little confidence in winning just to try to give justice
its due.
Guo Jianmei: defending women's rights
-------------------------------------
¶6. (U) Guo, 44, founded the first public-interest
organization specializing in providing legal aid and
research to women-Women Law Research and Service Center
under the Law School of Peking University about ten years
ago. Recently, Guo and her team selected cases typical of
infringement of women's rights and tried to use these
lawsuits to push forward related legislation, with better
protections effects, or to promote public awareness of
related rules. Typical cases included sexual harassment,
labor disputes, equal employment opportunity, and land
rights for married women.
CATEGORY: SCHOLARS
He Weifang: showing real independence
-------------------------------------
¶7. (U) He is one of the rare scholars who can maintain
their independence from power and interest groups and dares
to say what the people want to say. He never stops
promoting rule of law in local universities and law
enforcement agencies since he found that the one key
difficulty in the justice reform was people's confused
understanding about the power of natural justice and the
ways through which the power should be implemented. He is
also outspoken in commenting on big legal cases based on
his courage and loyalty to knowledge.
Zhou Qiren: the significance of self-constraint for Chinese
economists
--------------------------------------------- ------------
¶8. (U) For years Zhou kept a low profile and focused on
studying economic problems associated with China's reform
process. His theories are based on logic and seriousness,
not on the interest of any groups. He provides people with
an independent perspective to understand the necessity of
reform. He has close relations with business circles, but
never sacrifices his independence to suit these circles.
Chen Yan: the boatman between Chinese and French cultures
--------------------------------------------- -------------
¶9. (U) Chen, 50, as an overseas Chinese scholar living in
France, has been trying to promote cultural exchanges
between China and France for the past 20 years. He
initiated the 2005 China-Europe Cultural Forum, and
compiled a series of books introducing China. He called
for the two peoples to listen to and understand each other
with reason.
CATEGORY: PERSISTENT RIGHTS DEFENDERS
Hua Ruqi: resigning for the interest of voters
--------------------------------------------- -
¶10. (U) Hua, 54, was his village's Director of
Administration Commission in Hunan Province. In May 2005,
Hua organized a collective resignation by officials from
over 40 villages in two provinces and Chongqing along the
Qingshui River, which had been polluted by several chemical
refineries in its upstream areas for years. Their action
GUANGZHOU 00005378 003 OF 008
attracted attention from Beijing, and the pollution issue
has finally been put on the agenda of the local governments
concerned.
Yang Yunbiao: let the voice of the silent majority be heard
--------------------------------------------- --------------
¶11. (U) Yang, 33, actively participated in democracy
construction of his village. He headed a self-organized
right-defending organization that started from about 30
families to over 166 families in several villages. In this
year's village election, Yang's organization played a very
active role in educating the villagers about the importance
of democracy and rule of law. He believed it would be
easier for farmers to get their voices heard after they got
organized, and this would contribute to social stability.
Lu Fushan: Awakening Luotuo Xiangzi
-----------------------------------
¶13. (U) (Translator's note: Luotuo Xiangzi , or Camel
Xiangzi, a well-known novel by playwright Lao She,
recounted the tragic life of a young man in old Beijing
who made a living by pulling a rickshaw -- often translated
into English as "Rickshaw Boy.") Lu, 32, hailed from
Junyang County, Shaanxi Province. A primary school drop-out
because of his outrage over the school's arbitrary charges,
he made a living by riding a pedicab in Xian City. On the
afternoon of February 15, 2000, he was stopped by the
traffic police for " breaking regulations on coming to the
urban district to do business". Lu's pedicab was
unlicensed and was later confiscated by the Xian traffic
police pursuant to Xian PSB's "2000 No. 1 Notice." Lu
spent five years suing the traffic police for their illegal
administrative behavior. His ground was that the traffic
police did not hand down the Administrative Punishment
Decision according to legal procedure and that Xian PSB was
not a legitimate body to enact economic punishment
according to the "Administrative Punishment Law." Lu lost
his case in the courts of first and second instances but
won support from the Shaanxi Higher People's Court, which
ordered the Xian Intermediate Court to retry the case. Lu
finally won the case and got his pedicab back with
compensation from the traffic police. He got the award for
his efforts in making Xian's administrative department act
according to law, thereby reducing arbitrary law
enforcement.
Zhu Wenguang; A Zorro who studies Law
-------------------------------------
¶14. (U) Zhu, 48, hails from Zhongjiang County, Sichuan
Province. He started rescue work as a volunteer in 1994
and has successfully rescued over 170 abducted women and
forced laborers in Shanxi and Henan provinces. He also
helped 8 workers or their families who died or were
disabled because of work injuries in Guangdong and Shanxi
provinces to gain compensation. His voluntary rescue work
brought him fame as well as troubles from a 27-day jail to
a forced closure of his "Zorro Rescue Center." He
gradually enhanced his legal knowledge doing rescue work
and realized the need to transform himself from a "Zorro"
to a "legal worker." He got the award since his
accumulation of legal knowledge and awareness was a typical
case of the sustainable development of Chinese society.
Qiao Songju: Tipping off Avian Flu
----------------------------------
¶15. (U) Qiao, 31, is from Jiangsu Province. On October
13, 2005, he got a call from his father, saying that a
friend who raised geese in Anhui province was going to sell
the sick geese to Jiangsu province. Qiao suspected that
the geese were infected with avian influenza and called the
Secretary to Director-General of Veterinarian Bureau in the
SIPDIS
State Agriculture Ministry. The Agriculture Ministry
immediately sent a team to investigate, culling over
100,000 poultry and vaccinating another 100,000, an act
praised by WHO as a timely control of the epidemic outbreak
in Anhui. However, two days after the epidemic was
announced, Qiao was taken to the local public security
bureau, who suspected that his tip-off was in exchange for
money from the State Agriculture Ministry. The local PSB
GUANGZHOU 00005378 004 OF 008
later handed down an "Arrest Notification," saying that
Qiao should be put under criminal detention for alleged
blackmailing in a fake vaccine case. Qiao's family said he
tipped off the government about fake vaccines in that case
and angered local organizations. Qiao was given the award
because he demonstrated the courage and public spirit of an
ordinary citizen during a crisis despite pressure from
social relations and local governments focused mainly on
pursuing an economic development strategy.
CATEGORY: DISSEMINATOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
Li Datong: People's Trust is condition on which newspapers
rely for existence
--------------------------------------------- -------------
¶16. (U) Li, 53, hails from Beijing. On August 15, 2005,
Li, veteran editor at China Youth Daily and chief of the
paper's well-known section called "Bingdian"("Freezing
Point"), wrote an open letter in a high-profile move
criticizing the paper's new draft appraisal system to link
pay with praise for violating the standard measuring news
values and deprived the journalists' rights to reveal
social and official corruption. His letter finally made
the Party Committee of China Youth Daily scrap the draft
and design a new one. Li got the award for his persistent
professionalism in presenting quality news to the readers
and stepping forward to safeguard the honor of his
profession.
Li Yang: Movie as a kind of care
--------------------------------
¶17. (U) Li, 47, hails from Xian City. The movie "Blind
Shaft," Li's debut feature, was also a multiple award
winning film. By investing all of his money and even money
borrowed from his relatives, Li produced a film that
depicted the terrible situation of coal miners in China.
"The Award for Public Interest" given to such a low key
film director in the mainland was not to recognize his
professionalism as a film maker, but to show respect for
his unremitting pursuit of revealing human nature and
expressing humanitarian concern.
Matsuoka Tamaki: Revealing the concealed truth
--------------------------------------------- -
¶18. (U) Matsuoka Tamaki, 58, is a native of Osaka, Japan.
As the only Japanese, together with other three Chinese,
she received the "Special Contribution Prize" presented by
Nanjing Memorial Hall of Compatriots Murdered in the
Nanjing Massacre. A 58-year-old primary school teacher,
Matsuoka collected the personal stories of 120 victims and
published her second book about the Nanjing Massacre --
"Nanjing Massacre - The Split Soul of the Victims."
Matsuoka said it was not easy to collect information from
the victims. Most were reluctant to recall the misery and
pain they endured, especially those women who had been
raped. "I was a primary school teacher and I hope my
pupils will know the truth," said Matsuoka.

Xiao Liangzhong (deceased): A wave joins the river of
freedom
--------------------------------------------- ---------
¶19. (U) Xiao, 32, hailed from Diqing, Yunnan Province. On
January 5, 2005, Xiao suddenly passed away at the age of
¶32. Before his death, this young anthropologist's health
was irreparably undermined by his commitment to leading the
fight to block the construction of a dam system in the
region of his native village in Yunnan province. The
construction was part of an eight-dam power scheme for the
Tiger Leaping Gorge and Jinsha River. After comprehensive
data collection and site inspections, Xiao worked day and
night to contact environmentalists, research institutes,
and journalists to support his Letter of Appeal to stop the
project. His efforts brought about a meeting attended by
nine environmental protection organizations and many
experts in this field in Beijing calling for a stop of the
eight-dam power construction. It was Xiao's actions that
made the world care about the original residents who lived
in harmony with the river. In contemporary Chinese society
where actions and care are missing, his independence and
GUANGZHOU 00005378 005 OF 008
unremitting inquiries served as a model for intellectuals.
Yun Jianli: Hanjiang River's voice heard through the South
and the North
--------------------------------------------- ------------
¶20. (U) Yun, 61, is a native of Hubei Province.
Environmental NGO organizers are usually in periphery
positions, but Yun and her "Green Han Jiang" organization
were exceptionally active. The organization trained over
500 "seed teachers" for environmental protection education,
attracted over 70,000 citizens to their public education
activities, and hosted its own website and internal
communication system. Before Yun initiated "Green Han
Jiang" in 2002, she served four terms in the municipal and
provincial CPPCC. Transforming herself from a member of
the elite in the political system to a campaigner in a NGO,
she went in person to the suburbs and factories to carry
out investigations of pollution and went to Beijing to
enunciate her concern and devotion to the Han River. Now
the river has greatly improved in water quality, and she
has made great contributions to the quality of water being
transferred from the south to the north.
CATEGORY: THE CANDLE LIGHT OF LOVE
Bai Fangli (deceased): A pedicab rider in paradise
--------------------------------------------- -----
¶21. (U) Bai, 93, hailed from Tianjin City. On September
23, 2005, Bai Fangli passed away at the age of 93. Over
the last 18 years before his death, he donated RMB 350,000
earned driving a pedicab in Tianjin to fund 300 poor
university students. He passed away with zero money in his
bank account. Some newspaper estimated that if the charge
for a pedicab ride was 0.5 yuan per kilometer, Bai had to
have ridden the equivalent of 18 trips around the earth at
the equator to earn the RMB 350,000. The old man's reason
to fund education was simple: he could not bear children
dropping out of school due to poverty. The whole society
was touched and perspired from embarrassment because of his
actions.
Zhao Huaqiong: Love never failed
--------------------------------
¶22. (U) Zhao, 58, is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. In
Zhao's self-operated hospital, migrant workers only spend
RMB 0.5 to see a doctor and around RMB 10 in drug
prescriptions, almost half the price one would spend in
other hospitals. After retiring from her position as a
factory doctor in a state-owned enterprise, Zhao used her
own savings to open a private clinic. At the end of 2004,
in order to meet the increasingly urgent demand from
migrant workers, she sold the house intended for her son's
marriage and borrowed money to build a clinic in a hospital
for migrant workers. The clinic incurred a loss of RMB
300,000 in its first year of operation as discounts were
frequently given to patients and free treatment provided to
those without a single penny. At the first anniversary of
the hospital, Zhao managed to raise some money to relieve
the clinic's current financial difficulties. Though the
clinic might end up in failure, Zhao's love never failed.
She is like a mirror reflecting some people's indifference
to vulnerable societal sectors.
Zhai Meiqing: Set up the first state-level private
foundation
--------------------------------------------- ----------
¶23. (U) Zhai, 41, hails from Guangdong Province. Since
making a donation in 1992 to build the first Project Hope
primary school, Zhai's Xiangjiang Group has helped more
than 20,000 drop-outs to return to school and donated an
accumulated fund of RMB 300 million to build over 300
schools. In June 2005, Zhai contributed RMB 50 million to
set up the "Xiangjiang Social Aid Foundation," which became
China's first state-level private foundation after
obtaining approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Zhai hopes to see the foundation raise a fund of RMB 1
billion in the coming several years. Although some people
question the motivation behind her philanthropy as using
the foundation to provide financing help for her capital-
intensive business, Miss Zhai deserves respect from the
GUANGZHOU 00005378 006 OF 008
public for her "making charity a life mission."

Legal Commission of the Fujian People's Congress: Bring
medical service into Law on Consumer Rights
--------------------------------------------- ------------
¶25. (U) In October 2005, the Fujian People's Congress
passed the "Methods of Fujian's Implementation of the Law
on Consumer Rights of the People's Republic of China,"
incorporating medical service into the Law on Consumer
Rights. It has completely shattered the unfair status quo
in the current medical service system, in which the
public's complaints against the medical administration
authorities are dealt with by the authorities themselves.
Many legislators at local levels are considering the
implementing their own version of the "Law on Consumer
Rights" to regulate medical service and to form the legal
basis for resolving hospital-patient disputes. The
national Administration of Industry and Commerce (AIC) has
also proposed amendments to the Law on Consumer Rights.
The Legal Commission of the Fujian People's Congress,
through their own efforts, has benefited the public ahead
of national legislators.
Publicity Department of Wenling Committee of the Chinese
Communist Party: New explorations of an old department
--------------------------------------------- ------------
¶26. (U) The Publicity Department of Wenling has taken the
initiative to shoulder the responsibility of reform and

real estates
--------------------------------------------- --------------
¶27. (U) In July 2004, the Fuzhou Pricing Bureau released
the country's first list itemizing the average cost of real
estate in the city. The list, which is called the "first
document that uses accurate statistics to expose the inside
of the real estate industry," sparked immediate
repercussion in the country's real estate industry and
raised heated debates on the subject. The National
Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said that
"Fuzhou's practice complies with the interest of the mass
of the people." According to the list, the profit margin
of real estate developers in Fuzhou averaged 50%, with the
lowest at 20% and the highest at over 90%.
World and China Research Institute: Democracy begins with
election
--------------------------------------------- -------------
¶28. (U) As a non-governmental think tank, the World and
China Research Institute has a consistent and clear
mission: to promote the improvement of China's political
system and to promote progress of China's democracy. In
the year 2005, which has been a year full of twists and
turns in China's grassroots democratic election, they once
GUANGZHOU 00005378 007 OF 008
again made independent and sensible judgments. The World
and China Research Center was established in 1993 and has
had a focus on research in politics. The organization's
founder, Li Fan, got his master's degree in Political
Science from Ohio State University. The Research Institute
has spent a great deal of energy in promoting grassroots
election.
Public Alliance Research Office: Take actions under the
idealist sky
--------------------------------------------- ------------
¶29. (U) The Beijing Public Alliance Research Office was
founded in October 2003 and was originally named "Beijing
Sunshine Political Research Center." In 2005, it changed
to its current name. In recent years, the presence of the
Public Alliance Research Office is always seen on the
forefront of conflicts during China's transitional period.
Supported by idealism, the Public Alliance Research Office
rationally, constructively, and gradually promotes the
progress of the society. The office has offered legal
advice in a number of high-profile litigation cases. In
2005, one of the office's key projects was the "Report on
China's Petition System." In the report, the office
exposed problems in the current petition system, calling
for reform of the grassroots political system and putting
forward some specific suggestions.
Amity Foundation: Moral is proven by love
-----------------------------------------
¶30. (U) Amity Foundation is a non-governmental charity
established by Chinese Christians. For many years, under
the banner of love, it has rallied various social groups to
introduce international resources into China for the
development of rural and poor regions and the betterment of
weaker groups. The practice of the Amity Foundation not
only brings about tangible help and encouragement to those
who are in need but also spreads to the society the values
of sympathy, understanding, and concern. It was founded in
1985 by Christians in mainland China, but it has done a lot
of things that do not have anything to do with religion,
such as education, poverty relief, medical treatment, rural
development disaster relief, etc. For instance, in the
organization's "Brightness Campaign," Amity Foundation
actions helped recover the vision of 180,000 cataract
patients.
Greenpeace
-----------
¶31. (U) Greenpeace is a global NGO founded in 1971 and
headquartered in Amsterdam, Holland. China's Greenpeace
was founded in 1997 and headquartered in Hong Kong. In the
year 2005, Greenpeace worked on 4 areas in China: climate
change and recyclable energy, food safety and sustainable
agriculture, prevention and control of toxics, protection
of primitive forests. In 2005 Greenpeace exacted a HP
promise not to use toxic substances in their products;
investigated APP's illegal destruction of forests in
Hainan; exposed the illegal growing of genetically modified
rice in Hubei; suggested to the Guangdong Government the
construction of wind power plants, and so forth.
SACOM: Recover the conscience of Mickey Mouse
--------------------------------------------- -
¶32. (U) SACOM (Students and Scholars Against Corporate
Misbehavior)conducted a special investigation of Disney
that unveiled the low-cost secrets of authorized product
manufacturing, requested the multinational company to
increase the unit price of in its orders, and established a
monitoring system based on workers democracy so as to
enhance the level of corporate social responsibility. On
August 18, 2005, less than one month before the grand
opening of the Hong Kong Disneyland, SACOM released a
20,000-word report entitled "Recover the Conscience of
Mickey Mouse," which was based on their half-year
investigation of several Disney suppliers located in
Dongguan and Shenzhen. The report accused Disney suppliers
of underpaying workers.
Phoenix Satellite TV's "Oral History" program: Save memory
GUANGZHOU 00005378 008 OF 008
and reflect on history
--------------------------------------------- -------------
¶33. (U) When we are requesting our neighboring country to
reflect on history, this program is fighting against the
collective oblivion of the history of the Chinese nation
itself. The program allows some witnesses of history to
come to the screen, and to tell the audience stories that
have been hidden in their hearts for many years, bringing
rich details to the Chinese people's memory of modern and
contemporary history. The program not only broadens the
verbal space of the Chinese language media, but also serves
as "first aid" to people's memory. In this sense, "Oral
History" has huge significance. Since the launch of the
program, it has followed strictly the Party's rules
concerning publicity, and that only historical events
officially approved for public commentary can be included
in the program. Yet, despite these limitations, the
program still raises emotions of the audience.
The Compiling Committee of the Asian History Book:
cooperation on compiling history book reflects attitude at
the non-governmental level
--------------------------------------------- --------------
¶34. (U) The publication of the "Modern and Contemporary
History of Three Countries in East Asia" has a more
important significance than the book itself. It reflects
the non-governmental level attitude in the future
cooperation and exchanges in the East Asian region, and
creates a model in solving historical conflicts among
different nations -- that is, to gain common grounds
through discussion.
International Finance Corporation: Profits can be green
--------------------------------------------- ----------
¶35. (U) The International Finance Corporation (IFC) was
founded in 1956 and is headquartered in Washington D.C. A
member of the World Bank Group, as a profit-making finance
institute, IFC considers the elimination of negative
impacts of investments on the environment and society as
the necessary condition for investments, and sets this
principle as a benchmark in the industry. It sets up
corporate social standards, environment standards and other
standards, which have become its bottom line in selecting
investment companies. Enterprises that have only good
financial indicators but do not pass third-party social
audits and environment audits are rejected by IFC. The
performance of IFC and its partners such as the German-
based DEG has added the color of green to an financial
investment industry which normally adheres exclusively to
the principle of "profit is everything."
Beijing Medical Team: Prioritize medical service and public
health in rural villages
--------------------------------------------- --------------
¶36. (U) Over the last 40 years, the Beijing Medical Team
has single-mindedly conducted medical service in rural
villages in Linzhou, Henan Province. Many well-known
doctors have worked in those rural villages. They offer
free diagnosis and free medical treatments to the local
people, and made it a national-class base for esophagus
cancer prevention and control.
