Dissident s letters still defiant
after years of imprisonment
■ COURAGE: Wei Jingsheng has been arrested again for
resuming democracy campaign
IU3J1NC (AP) — Letter* written by China's leading dissident white
In prison and smuggled io an American writer thaw that Wei Jing
sheng remained defiant and uncompromising despite year* of pri
vation.
In fact, four year* into a IV year prison term for promoting democ
racy and criticizing China t leader. Wei remained bold enough to tec*
ture Deng Xiaoping.
"Think about it: If I bow my head now. admit my Crimea, go
against my conscience and *ay my thinking i« wrong, what will the
people of the world think?" Wei wrote In a 1983 tetter
' Thera‘a no downside for me... Thera's no disgrace But for you? It
will leave you with an evil reputation as a feudal tyrant."
Wei * statement to Deng is one of 82 letters he wrote during his
imprisonment from J979 to 1993 Excerpts were smuggled out of
China and given to Philip Cunningham, an American writer living in
Tokyo, after Wet was rear re* ted and sentenced tn December to 14
years in prison
A Chinese friend of Wet s decided to make the excerpts public
after it became cleer the democracy campaigner would be silenced
again. Cunningham said Sunday
The excerpts portray Wei as thoughtful and determined despite
imprisonment They provide insight into why Wei resumed his
democracy campaign after his release in September 1993 and why
the authorities felt compelled to reerrest him in April 1994
They also show Wei's almost otwu**si ve interest in Deng. Cunning
ham said. "Your problem is that you have too much ambition, too Ut
il# latent and are too narrow minded." Wei wrote in 1987.
