Letters from supporters

From Xiaoju Zhang, 2024-5-14

All those who want to embrace universal values should support China’s humanitarian cause. The CCP’s cruelty and inhumane actions have inflicted tremendous amounts of harm on China and its people, as humanitarianism is the CCP’s natural enemy.

Helping the victims of the CCP’s persecution is our most urgent mission on the road to achieving democracy and freedom.

Let’s keep supporting the humanitarian China

From Roz Dimon, 2019-3-6

My name is Roz Dimon and I have a door in the CHINA: June 4, 1989 collection, formerly part of the Asian American Arts Centre.

Here is some information about the creation of our door:

It was a beautiful day July 4th, 1989, when I carried the door which I had received from Robert Lee up to our Brooklyn Penthouse overlooking the NYC skyline and worked with my two friends, James Dawson (now my husband) and Sarah Emery, to digitally create an homage to the horrific happenings of the proceeding month.

We could think of nothing more important on this day where we celebrated freedom and independence in our country of the United States than to honor the courage of those who stood up to army tanks and force at Tiananmen Square.

Thank you for keeping this important exhibit alive – it is a testament to people who stand up for human rights the world over.

刘珏帆(张宝成妻子): 受助与回馈, 2019-2-18

2017年底，我和孩子逃离了那个专制、独裁的牢笼，来到了自由的美国，经过了初期的艰难阶段后，我终于有了工卡，进而拿到了工作培训的license，在多方报名、培训、等待之后，终于开始做工了，当第一周仅7小时的薪水支票寄到家时，我就毅然与周峰锁先生联系，我要把它捐给“人道中国”，我知道，这个数额并不大，但它是我们一家对“人道中国”、对全社会曾给予我们的温暖和关怀的一点点回馈。我要与“人道中国”一起，继续良心犯的救助，继续这美好的人道关怀。只要我的收入没中断，我的捐款也不会中断。希望更多的朋友们在自己生活安排好了之后，能一起向大陆政治犯及家属一伸援手，让这人性的温暖、道义的光辉，照临每一个处于黑暗和酷寒中的同胞。

涓滴细流，汇成大海。
人在海外，不忍观望墙内同胞煎熬。
不再说“个人力量微小，什么也做不了”。
力所能及，尽我绵薄。
声援勇士，改变中国。

我們很清楚民主自由是不會從天上掉下來的。自八九六四北京學生面對坦克車的慘案，到今時今日香港學生血染街頭的抗爭。一代代人為追求民主自由拋頭顱灑熱血，道路漫漫長。縱使面對暴政強權，面對武力裝備懸殊黑警，香港人一次次奮戰著，堅持著，猶如雞蛋撼高牆，也依然無所畏懼。從雨傘運動都反送中再到國安法，香港人寧願最後徒勞無功，也不選擇無動於衷。香港人加油！

很感謝世界各地對香港人的支持與聲援。在此，特別感謝人道中國提供給香港一班前線抗爭者的資金援助。 我們堅定民主自由的信念不移，會在追求民主自由的道路上一路努力前進。

最後，願榮光歸香港。願民主自由之花，早日開遍世界的每一個角落!!!
