Mr. Tong Zeng:
Hello!
Your letter has been received, I feel greatly honored that you can spare time from your busy work schedule to give me a reply letter, any matter you entrust to me is my matter. As a descendent of Yan and Huang emperors, the shame of the nation is not the shame of one single person, the righteous demand of a nation cannot be upheld by only one person, it is justified that we should join hands to merge into a powerful force. Therefore I’m willing to contribute my meager strength, in order to bring about the early fulfillment of damage compensation.
Owing to inadequate work experience, and poor education level, coupled with the conservative attitude of victims, over the past several months, the progress of collecting materials is very slow, apart from collecting common signatures of 20 to 30 persons, there are only four damage materials narrated by real victim relatives (victims have passed away)…… Nevertheless, we will continue our efforts. Meanwhile, I request Mr. Tong Zeng to give me instructions in the days to come!
Regards
Salute from a compatriot!
Jiang Wenguang
