Open letter from Danielle's Mom

--To raise the voice for my ex-husband Zhi-wen Wang

August 02, 1999

As you all have already known, that inside of China there is a movement about eliminating the Falun Gong. From the Chinese propaganda media reports and the news, the key figures of Falun Gong, and the coordinators were all arrested and questioned. My daughter's father, who is my ex-husband's name and pictures were frequently put on the news and TV reports. As I have already imagined, the Chinese police department must detain Zhi-wen Wang. My daughter and me both are very worried and concerned about him. From the news reports, all the targets of attack are pointing at him, the whole situation for him is very disadvantaged. Discarding of the Falun Gong topics for now, I think: that many of the conduct propaganda of Zhi-wen Wang were very groundless and unreasonable. I, myself is a non-practitioner, neither did I ever involved in any Qigong activities. It's only speaking of the righteous voices for Zhi-wen Wang.


I know Zhi-wen Wang very well. He is my ex-husband. From knowing to each other to marriage till now is already been 26 years. He joined Falun Gong was all because of curing illness and keeping fit. He believes in Qigong, is all because of treating diseases and keeping fit. There was not even one single politic objective or ambition. His personalities that I know very clearly: he is a very righteous, just, loyal, and honest person. He is not a person of words, either. He is always quiet and warm-hearted. From working at the countryside during Cultural Revolution period to staying at his working company before he was arrested, multiple times of alterations, people around him all sang high praise for him. All of them considered him as a good person. He treats others very honestly, working diligently, and working hard and not be upset by criticism. He neither pursues any money and fame; nor wants any money in return. Because he conducts himself so well as being righteous, honest, and keenly helps others, not pursuing fame and money. He was elected as the organizer for doing volunteer jobs for others. He sacrificed almost all his weekends and holidays. He was very earnest in helping others to learn the exercise movements and answering the questions that those practitioners had. He mailed out the books and related materials on volunteer basis without anything in return. He never even wanted to or got involved into politics. As for those who had ulterior motives, wanted to attain some politic attempts, Zhi-wen Wang was never one of them. We had conversation many times; he really didn't care about politics, and didn't actually get involved into it. By only keening for practicing the movements, helping people to learn, and keeping fit. For such a righteous, fair-minded, kind-hearted, honest, honest, loyal, earnest person, I want to raise the righteous voice for him, clear his name, and give back him justice! Don't let him become the victim of some ill-minded politicians' arrangements.
