We pay homage to all the lives lost in the recent uprisings in Tibet. The fathers, the mothers, the wives, the husbands and the children of all the brave Tibetans killed during the uprising are going without Tibetan losar this year as a mark of respect to the deceased. Are we not concerned enough to express our solidarity with these mourning family members???
Hu Jia became interested in environmental issues while in university and participated in several environmental organizations including the Friends of Nature, led by Liang Congjie and the 1997 Green Camp university student environmental camp led by Tang Xiyang.In 1998 Hu Jia was involved in rescuing some wild elk that were threatened by severe flooding that year. Hu was subsequently involved in efforts to protect the Tibetan Antelope that were being slaughtered for their fur.
In July 2000, the writer Wang Lixiong introduced Hu Jia to AIDS activist Wan Yanhai. Afterwards Hu Jia became involved in AIDS prevention work and took an active part in the AIZHIXING Institute of Health Education AIDS, which Wan Yanhai had founded. As one of the founders of the AIDS NGO Loving Source, Hu Jia has been involved in helping people suffering from AIDS and AIDS orphans in Henan province. He has criticized the government over its treatment of people with AIDS.
Hu Jia has also been involved in campaigns to release political prisoners, including the Wan Yanhai in August–September 2002, the cyber-dissident Liu Di ("The Stainless Steel Rat"). He also has been involved in anti-Japanese demonstrations.
Hu Jia insists this his rights as a citizen of the People's Republic in China. When police detain him (often for planned activities and sometimes to ensure that he is not active at sensitive times such as June 4, the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, Hu demands that the police state what provision of Chinese law he is being held under. Hu says that the security officers are generally unable to do so.
On February 16, 2006, Hu Jia was detained for 41 days. His detention was not acknowledged by the Chinese government. After his return to his apartment in Beijing, where he lives with his wife Zeng Jinyan (also an AIDS activist), Hu Jia was kept under house arrest until March 2007. Two months later, on May 18, 2007, Hua Jia and his wife were put placed under house arrest again on charges of "harming state security."Hu Jia has remained active via emails and blogs while under house arrests.
According to Amnesty International, Hu Jia has resigned from Loving Source to prevent the authorities from harassing the group.
Using a Web camera, Mr. Hu participated in a European parliamentary hearing in Brussels in November 2007 about human rights in China. At the hearing he said: “It is ironic that one of the people in charge of organizing the Olympic Games is the head of the Bureau of Public Security, which is responsible for so many human rights violations. It is very serious that the official promises are not being kept before the games.”.
On December 30, 2007, Hu Jia was arrested at his home in Beijing by the Chinese police for "subverting state authority". His trial began in March 2008 on charges of "inciting subversion of state power and the socialist system", stemming from interviews he gave to the foreign media and political articles he wrote and published on the internet. The crime carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. On 3 April 2008, Hu was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.
Never Give Up: Never give up; No matter what is going on Never give up. Develop the heart; Too much energy in your country Is spent developing the mind, Instead of the heart. Develop the heart. Be compassionate; Not just with your friends, But with everyone. Be compassionate. Work for peace; In your heart, And in the world. Work for peace. And I say again, Never give up. No matter what is going on around you, Never give up.
The Paradox of Our Age: We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It's a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
A Precious Human Life: Every day, think as you wake up, Today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use All my energies to develop myself, To expand my heart out to others, To achieve enlightenment for The benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, Or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others As much as I can
The True Meaning of Life: We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.
