人道中国十周年 (The 10th Anniversary of Humanitarian China)

2007年，三位六四一代在旧金山注册创立了人道中国，一个美国联邦免税慈善机构。在接下来的几年里，他们的主要资金来源仍然来自于创立人的个人捐赠，他们的工作包括帮助公民社会成长；救助政治犯以及家人；帮助一些特殊困难者安顿，如在天安门大屠杀中失去双腿的方政。人道中国还曾经向四川地震和青海地震的受害者提供救助金。

十年后的今天，人道中国的救助对象已经逐渐定位在向入狱或出狱的政治犯、活动人士及其家人的人道救助，这主要是因为中国国内对政治异见的打压日益严重，这个群体的人道需求日益扩大和严峻。

过去几年来，人道中国每年向一百多人提供救助。人道中国还不定期发起专项募捐，如为独立记者高瑜、维吾尔学者伊力哈木、709人权律师、政治犯赵常青的妻儿、以及去世的天安门三君子余志坚的妻儿发起的募捐。

In 2007, three "June 4" students established the organization Humanitarian China in San Francisco, registering it as a tax-exempt charity. Over the following years, the primary source of funding for the operation was still personal donations from the founders. They focused on fostering the growth of civil society in China, providing relief to political prisoners and their families, and helping a number of victims in special circumstances relocate to the U.S., including, for instance, Fang Zheng, the Tiananmen Massacre survivor whose legs were crushed under a tank. Humanitarian China also made donations to victims of the Sichuan and Qinghai earthquakes in 2008 and 2010.

Ten years on, the primary work of Humanitarian China has gradually come to focus on providing relief for political prisoners and activists, and their families, who are currently in jail or have just been released. This shift was driven mainly by the fact that the plight of dissidents has become worse by the day, and their need for humanitarian assistance has similarly grown in severity and urgency.

Over the last few years, Humanitarian China has provided relief to over 100 people annually. From time to time the organization also establishes special donation drives — for instance to help the independent journalist Gao Yu, or the Uyghur intellectual Ilham Tohti, the 709 Incident rights lawyers, the wife of political prisoner Zhao Changqing, or the recently-deceased Yu Zhijian, one of the “Three Gentlemen of Tiananmen,” and his wife.
