History will transform eminent Chinese democracy fighters, both domestic and
overseas, into founding leaders of a democratic China in the future. Under the
circumstances of today’s social development, any solitary hero or guerrilla
leader can play only a very limited role. The only entity able to promote
China’s democracy must be a group of intelligent individuals who are united
under one banner and are perspicacious, dynamic, and coordinative with one and
other. Mr. Zhang Hongbao, founding leader of Democratic China, is such a banner.
Ours is a time of low tide, when Dr. Wang Bingzhang, “the father of overseas
democracy movement,” has been put away in prison, when the old generation of
China’s democracy fighters, after spending almost twenty years of their lives
and youth in a fierce fight against Chinese Communist dictatorship
incarceration, are now looking for some place to return to, when the new
generation of democracy fighters of various brands are lamenting their
misfortune of having missed the best of fights and trying to satisfy themselves
with self-mockery. Despite all these signs of decline, on the other shore of the
Pacific Ocean, in Mainland China, hundred of anti-communist, anti-one-party-rule
political forces are gathering their strength and waiting for a call to form a
nation-wide fighting front.
It is against this background that the banner of China’s shadow government has
risen and is flying high against the thunderstorms of the Pacific Ocean.
Mr. Zhang Hongbao launched “Chinese Qigong of Life Cultivation and spiritual
Development” in Mainland China 16 years ago, bringing health and wisdom to 38
millions learners of this qigong. With his comprehensive understanding of the
broad and profound Chinese traditional culture, especially his selective
adaptation of China’s thousand year long intellectual tradition, combined with
the essence of modern political practices, Zhang Hongbao initiated a new thought
of national reconstruction and launched his new theory of “national
reorganization” about the new world order. He boasts a broad mass basis in China
and an enormous potential of mobilizing power. All these have caused the Chinese
Communist authorities reach out a black hand in an anxious attempt to have Mr.
Zhang Hongbao terminated. Thus ensued the banning of Zhonggong as “a
counterrevolutionary clique.” Even after Mr. Zhang obtained the status of
political asylum in the United States, that black hand is still busy stirring up
various kinds of troubles around him.
When a great man is entrusted with a great mission, he often has to undergo
bodily hardships, physical sufferings, and mental trials. The vicissitudes in
the past years have sublimated Mr. Zhang Hongbao’s true feelings for the Chinese
people and his sense of mission as a fighter to promote democracy in China. In
his noiseless, intense struggles against both open and hidden enemies, in both
open battles and skirmishes, Mr. Zhang has acquired his unique character of
sang-froid and composure that enables him to handle numerous exigencies.
Under the present circumstances, when the overseas democracy movement is at a
low tide, Mr. Zhang, courageously going against the currents and unhesitatingly
taking advantage of the historical opportunity, has stepped forward, with an
equanimity so characteristic of him, to shoulder the historical task of becoming
the first present of China’s shadow government. This undoubtedly gives enormous
encouragement and support to the people who are concerned with China’s future as
well as to the heroes who are actually engaged in the struggle to promote
democracy in China.
This is truly an epoch-making event. History has picked Mr. Zhang Hongbao for a
great mission. The Chinese people and all the people around the globe who care
about democracy in China are looking forward to a magnificent answer sheet that
Mr. Zhang Hongbao will submit to history!
