思緒無垠 真理無疆

From the blood-stained sanctuaries of Chengdu to the defiant vigils of the diaspora, this issue charts the fractured yet unyielding geography of Chinese resistance. Pages One and Two bear witness to the enduring crucible of the Early Rain Covenant Church—a community whose refusal to bow before the totalizing State exemplifies the supreme triumph of faith over tyranny. On Page Three, this localized agony finds its global echo outside the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles, where the 795th “Jasmine Action” transforms individual grief into collective diaspora defiance. Finally, Page Four pivots from spiritual resistance to institutional imagination. Through the insights of Luo Zhifei, we examine the mechanics of a future free China—conceptualizing a “Chinese Parliament” not as another fractured political faction, but as a robust, competitive arena for democratic governance. Together, these pages reveal that whether through the gospel or the ballot, the soul of a nation will not be contained.

Thirty-seven years ago, countless Chinese students and citizens courageously took to the streets to call for democracy, freedom, the rule of law, and human dignity. They peacefully expressed their hopes for the future of their country, yet they were brutally suppressed by the Chinese Communist regime. Thirty-seven years later, the Chinese Communist Party continues to conceal the truth, suppress public commemorations, and attempt to erase the memory of an entire generation. However, history cannot be erased by lies. The victims will never be forgotten, and the pursuit of freedom and democracy cannot be destroyed by tyranny. The front page of this issue features an editorial commemorating the victims of the June Fourth Massacre and condemning the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party. The second page introduces composer Wang Xiaoguang and his work The Long Night, a symphony composed in remembrance of the June Fourth Incident. Through music, the work mourns the victims, reflects upon a dark chapter in history, and expresses hope for a brighter future. The third page reports on a commemorative event organized by the Democratic Party of china in Times Square, New York. The fourth page republishes a report from The Epoch Times about the memorial gathering held in Toronto, Canada, to mark the 37th anniversary of the June Fourth Massacre. To commemorate June Fourth is not only to mourn the victims, but also to preserve the truth of history. Only by remembering the suffering and refusing to forget can we continue to move China toward freedom, democracy, and the rule of law.

This issue opens with Memorial Day, focusing on how American society commemorates sacrifice, freedom, and the national spirit. From presidential proclamations to the National Moment of Remembrance, from military cemeteries to community parades, Americans have preserved a solemn respect for those who gave their lives. This commemoration is not merely about flowers and slogans; it is a form of institutionalized public memory, reminding future generations that today’s peace and security did not come from nowhere. Yet across the ocean, another question about “life” feels heavy and deeply painful. The coal mine explosion in Qinyuan, Shanxi, once again exposed to Chinese society the underground world that has long been concealed in darkness. A mining disaster is never just a number, nor merely a “safety accident.” Behind repeated gas explosions, collapses, and cover-ups, people see regulatory failure, chains of vested interests, and the long-standing disregard for the value of ordinary workers’ lives. Those who disappear deep inside the mines often have no names, no cameras, and not even a single public word of mourning. How a country commemorates the dead also reflects how it treats the living.

As World Art Day approaches, this issue presents a special feature on art and humanity. The front page focuses on "World Art Day," guiding readers to revisit the significance and value of this international cultural event. The second page offers an in-depth report on the current hot exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art — the Raphael exhibition — showcasing the classic charm and timeless beauty of the Renaissance master. In the third edition, we publish Mr. Chen Yong’s long-term investigative work The American "Bao Yangren" and the Chinese Refugee Camp. It recounts the true story of how, during the fall of Wuhan in 1938, American missionaries Miller and Boynton (known as "Bao Yangren") from the Seventh-day Adventist East Lake Sanitarium protected over ten thousand Chinese refugees with humanitarian spirit amid the flames of war. This nearly seventy-year-old buried history not only demonstrates the mutual support between Chinese and American civilians in times of crisis, but also reveals the warmest light of humanity in the darkness of war. The fourth edition is a readers’ contribution column. We warmly welcome readers to continue sharing their personal experiences, observations, and reflections. Art and history, humanity and redemption, shine together in this issue. We hope that while appreciating beauty, readers will also draw strength from history, cherish peace, and safeguard the goodness of human nature.

As spring awakens, this issue focuses on "Awakening and Justice." Our front page traces the origins of International Women’s Day, calling for gender equality and the defense of human rights. The second page honors seven extraordinary women who reshaped history, highlighting the monumental power of women in driving human civilization. The third page marks the debut of our "Christianity Special," revisiting Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Letters and Papers from Prison to draw inspiration from his courageous resistance against totalitarianism. Our fourth page reports on the 780th Jasmine Action, standing in solidarity with persecuted family churches and pastors in China. From gender equality to religious freedom, we record the struggle and speak for justice. May these words serve as a glimmer of light on the path to freedom.

Issue No. 60 is a special edition dedicated to organ transplantation. At a time when medical ethics and human rights are under increasing global scrutiny, we address a grave issue that can no longer be ignored: the systematic practice of forced organ harvesting in China, carried out under the direction of the state. The front page and Page Two feature a long-form commentary, “Forced Organ Harvesting by the Chinese Communist Party: A State-Orchestrated Crime Against Humanity — From the Suppression of Falun Gong to Targeted Predation in Schools.” The article traces the historical background, institutional mechanisms, and recent developments of this crime, examining how political power, medical institutions, and ideology operate in concert, while warning of an increasingly concealed and younger pool of victims. Page Three presents a special report on the 773rd “Jasmine Action,” documenting pro-democracy activities in Los Angeles. It focuses on recent abnormal deaths on school campuses, calling for the protection of children’s lives and for a thorough pursuit of truth and accountability. Page Four includes letters from readers and a recent news report on organ transplantation developments within China, offering additional context and responding to public concern. When a society treats human beings as means rather than ends, its moral foundation collapses. To document, question, and publish the truth remains the press’s fundamental responsibility.

To open this issue is to feel one’s heart sliced open; our pens are stained not with ink, but with blood and tears. Pages One and Two report the tragedy of the physical fire in the city—innocent lives lost, leaving behind visible scars. Yet, the deeper, more agonizing wound is found on Pages Three and Four: our ten-year deep analysis, where we tearfully document the “Political Conflagration” ignited by the totalitarian regime. For the past decade, the CCP has broken its promise, chaining Hong Kong with the National Security Law, burning down the rule of law, and devastating the spirit of freedom. This is not a detached commentary; it is an elegy, wept in blood, written for a city that has fallen. We condemn tyranny, and we refuse to forget. We must record this pain until the day of historical judgment arrives.

This issue is a Christian special edition. The front page features an editorial by our commentator offering reflections on the definition of Christianity. The second page introduces the artistic and theological concepts behind Michelangelo’s painting The Creation of Adam. The third page is dedicated to Zion Church, and the fourth page presents Chase Oaks Church in the Dallas area of Texas. May God be with you and me. Amen.

This issue is once again a special edition celebrating Taiwan’s National Day. The front and second pages feature the National Day address delivered by President Lai Ching-te, which is well worth our repeated study and reflection. The third page highlights the National Day celebrations held in Vancouver, Canada, and San Francisco, USA. The fourth page is a special memorial section commemorating the third anniversary of Wang Runan and the Sitong Bridge hero Peng Lifa.

This issue is dedicated to celebrating the 114th National Day of the Republic of China (Taiwan). First and foremost, we sincerely wish the Republic of China a happy birthday—may the nation prosper and its democracy shine forever! On the front page, we feature a bilingual article reviewing the birth and historical journey of the Republic of China. The second and third pages present a comprehensive list and overview of Taiwan’s presidents throughout history, compiled from the official website of the Office of the President. The fourth page covers President Lai Ching-te’s attendance at the 114th National Day evening celebration, along with a collection of photos capturing the festive atmosphere. Taiwan belongs to the world, and the world celebrates with Taiwan. May Taiwan’s tomorrow be even brighter!

This issue is dedicated to the Mid-Autumn Festival, using the traditional holiday as both a cultural touchstone and a lens to expose harsh realities. Pages One and Two feature a special section that highlights the festival’s history and humanistic value, while also uncovering the rampant use of food additives in China’s mooncake industry. Ordinary citizens are fed cheap chemicals, while “special supply mooncakes” reserved for Zhongnanhai elites contain no additives at all. This stark contrast reveals the nature of privilege under authoritarian rule. Page Three turns to political affairs, compiling several recent stories of note, and tracing the origins of Xi Jinping’s many nicknames. These satirical monikers, coined and spread by overseas Chinese communities, reflect not only popular wit but also a quiet form of resistance. Page Four is devoted to anti-CCP voices, reporting on the Chinese Democracy Party’s event in support of Yu Menglong. This is not only an act of solidarity with one individual persecuted for speaking out, but also a call on behalf of all those silenced by repression.

This issue of the newspaper focuses on food safety and social justice. The front and second pages use the Xibei incident as a starting point to thoroughly expose the safety hazards and regulatory gaps in China’s pre-packaged food industry. The third page highlights children’s diet and health, featuring U.S. dietary standards and nutritional recommendations for children. The fourth page covers the news of Zhang Zhan’s latest sentencing, showcasing the courage and pressures faced by citizen journalists, while also including a satirical cartoon of Xi Jinping that reflects power with critique and humor. From food safety to civil rights, this issue aims to provoke readers to think deeply about systems, society, and individual responsibility.
