IFCSS 2nd Congress Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony of IFCSS 2nd Congress was held this morning in the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. 300 some delegats and guests attended the ceremony. The ceremony began by observing three minutes silence to mourn those who died in China's democracy movement. After the opening address by IFCSS vice president Han Lianchao, four guests delivered speeches to the conference and then IFCSS president Liu Yongchuan reported the performances and operations IFCSS conducted since 1st Congress. Three major sections of IFCSS reported Finacial Status, Council Operation and Supervisory Committee Activities. The following IFCSS working committees also briefly summarized their operations since 1st Congress: 1) Student Affaires Committee (Visa Committee) 2) Theory Study Committee 3) June 4th Radio Station 4) Rescue Committee (rescuring those arrested in china) 5) Press Freedom Herald Coordinating Comittee 6) IFCSS Newsletter Editoral Board (Outcry) 7) Organizing Committee for October 1st Washington DC Rally of 1989 Finally, in the morning's conference, a question/answer session was conducted and delegates asked questions regarding to the reports by the heads of IFCSS working committees. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Chai Ling in the Opening Ceremony She really looks like an ordinary Chinese student here in OSU. This morning at 8:55, when four of the CND members ran across her outside the OSU student dorm, three of them did not recongnize she is Chai Ling while saying "hi" to an IFCSS officer who was accompanying her. In the ceremony, her speech is still very moving, passioante and impressive, although delegates have been seeing lots of reports about her since she came to US last May. As Chai Ling briefly reviewed last year's student movement, she sincerely told her audience that "many people told me, Chai Ling, you should do this, do that, to keep up your public image, but I am really suffering from their kind suggestions". "My name Chai Ling means working, but I want a break too, sometimes I have to refuse people's invitation by telling them that Chai Ling is my job, but now office hour is over for today". "The feeling of freedom is indeed great. I just want to be a real human being, I just want to have my personal space, have my room, my phone, love and many other things". "I am facing the same problem as you all are facing, I want a place to stay, I need to have fellowship/scholarship like you do". "After all, everyone has a chance to make this world better, and he/she should grab and cherish the chance, and share happiness with rest of us". Chai Ling was whispering and everyone quietly listened to her. CND talked to Chai Ling and Feng Chongde during the ceremony, they would like to give CND a chance to interview them. But they were invited to dine out and Chai Ling tried to decline but finally they accepted it, so CND will find another chance to interview the couple. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Further Development of the Congress The first session of this afternoon was free speeches delivered by delegates and they expressed their concerns with various issues in IFCSS operations and developments. In the following session, delegates are debating/discussing the revision of IFCSS Constitution and questioning the committee members in charge of constitution revision. There are strong brain-blizards but delegates are still speaking rationally. In the evening, delegats will enjoy the First Concert by the U.S. Chinese Students Arts Ensemble in 1990. Some (formal) famous Chinese artists (Zheng Xulan, the famous singer, etc.) will present their talents in music and performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
