Dr. Shizhong
Chen has been active in projects concerning China for over
30 years. He has founded, co-founded, or been spokesperson
for a number of organizations concerning China, and has
spoken extensively on issues related to China.
Dr. Chen began his activism in 1989, when he helped to
organize supporting activities during the 1989 Beijing
Student Movement. Outraged by the June 4th Massacre, Dr.
Chen founded the Tiananmen Square Foundation, has served on
the Board of the Press Freedom Guardian, and was elected as
the vice president of The Independent Federation of Chinese
Students and Scholars in the U.S.
Upon learning the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China,
Dr. Chen founded the Falun Gong Human Rights Working Group
in 2001, and has since submitted over 100,000 cases of human
rights abuses against Falun Gong practitioners to UN Special
Rapporteurs. He also founded and is President of the
Conscience Foundation, a non-profit organization to
publicize and remind people that the human conscience is the
very essence of humanity.
Dr. Chen has spoken extensively on the issue of human rights
in China. Since 2001, he has frequented meetings of the U.N.
Human Rights Commission in Geneva (now the Human Rights
Council), spoken to the Council, to Special Rapporteurs, and
at many forums to forward the cause of human rights. He was
a panelist at an annual meeting of the California Bar
Association, has spoken to Amnesty International’s US West
Region, and has made numerous appearances at various forums
and on radio and TV shows and interviews.
Among the books that Dr. Chen has authored or co-authored
are: Stories of Conscience, The Falun Gong Report, Falun
Gong, Humanity’s Last Stand, now in its third edition, and,
most recently, a comprehensive report on the extensive
psychiatric torture taking place in China.
In 2005, Dr. Chen conceived the idea of the Courageous
People, Spirited Land TV series and implemented the project.
The programs have since become very popular in China where
viewers have been disseminating them defying Chinese
regime’s prohibition.
From 2010, Dr. Chen has given a presentation on The
Renaissance of Chinese Culture over one hundred Rotary
Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, Lion Clubs, and various colleges.
From 2012, Dr. Chen has been working with a group of
activists in China to use China’s current laws to defend
civil rights.
Dr. Chen was born in China in 1962. At 15, he entered the
gifted program at China University of Science and
Technology. He came to the U.S. in 1982 to study and
received his Ph.D. degree in molecular biology at University
of California, San Diego. He currently owns and runs a
molecular biology startup in San Diego.
Here is a link to one of
the manuscripts mentioned in Dr. Chen'sbio,
and may provide some background to a topic that will be
covered in our show:
Please count me in for tomorrow. On top
of that, I think the spiritual topic we initiated a
couple of weeks ago must be continued, for its
importance is beyond description, and I have a
suggestion for you.
Not all plagues are medically curable. The
best known case was the plague of the first-born. I am a
scientist, and the most “scientific” explanation for that
biblical plague is a categorical denial that it happened.
Mere mortals’ denials notwithstanding, “[t]he Almighty has
His own purposes.” I believe that America is the positive
result of God’s wrath expressed in the bubonic plague,
through religious revival in Protestant Reformation. This
nation was therefore founded not on ethnic, territorial,
cultural or historical bases, but on convictions. America
hence has national ideals. These national ideals are the
very reason for America’s existence, and what separates
America from other nations. All other nations may calculate
and act on their national interests, but not America.
There have always been temptations to seduce
America away from its national ideals, and America has been
put through tests. America had come out from the right side
of the history numerous times, and even in its darkest
hours, the worst some Americans had done previously was “to
ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the
sweat of other men's faces.” Unfortunately, when America
began to make Faustian deal with the CCP’s generous
barbarism after 1989 Tiananmen Massacre, executed by
American presidents from Bush to Obama, and the
establishment behind them, it took America’s deviation from
its national ideals to a whole completely different level –
accepting the evil’s assistance in wringing their bread from
the sweat of other men's faces. “The shining city on a hill”
was brought down to the swamp of “strategic partnership”
with the anti-theist CCP, and the CCP virus came.
