insistence and persistence.

ago.
2019: Cardinal Joseph ZEN Ze-kiun SDB, for firmly supporting the Hong Kong democratic movement and strongly opposing the Communist interference in the
missionary activities and religious freedom of the church.

freedom of speech in Hong Kong and Mainland China with personal freedom and sacrifices.

China.
2024: Minister Gyari Dolma of the Central Tibetan Administration, an outstanding democratic leader and a female pioneer who has achieved several
"firsts".
The Wei Jingsheng Foundation wishes this annual prize to serve as a continued and consistent encouragement to Chinese democracy advocates who have devoted
themselves to and contributed to the progress of Chinese democracy, despite the suppression from the Communist government. Thus, the prize is
designated mainly for democracy advocators who are inside China.
The annual announcement is made on December 5, the date of publication in 1978 of "The 5th Modernization - Democracy", by Mr. Wei Jingsheng. This date
was a landmark for the Chinese democracy process. The prize was initiated with the encouragement and financial support of an anonymous donor who
promised an essential $1,000.00 annually as seed money for it. We encourage more donors to contribute to this award specifically. (Tax-exempt
receipts will be provided for your federal tax deduction purposes, as well as your choice of public acknowledgment or anonymity.)
Since the establishment of this prize, the Wei Jingsheng Foundation has received many nominations, and much feedback and encouragement in this regard.
We encourage the participation and recommendations from our colleagues and friends as before.
If you have a person or a group to nominate, please send the name(s), the credentials, other possible referrals, methods of communication and other details
to us by midnight on Saturday, November 8, 2025 (US Eastern Time). The best way to reach us is via e-mail. The contact e-mail address is:
