They were outside the Chinese consulate in New York last night, while in Beijing, 12 hours ahead, the Communist Party was celebrating. October 1st marks the 60th anniversary of the Communist Party’s takeover of China.
昨晚他們在紐約中國領事館外，同時間在北京，時間上快12小時，共產黨正在慶祝。10月1日是共產黨統治中國60週年紀念日。
But here in New York, for these people, it’s a day to remember for another reason.
但在紐約，對這些人們，是個有著不同理由紀念的日子。
[Jeremy Taylor, Free Church for China]:
“It’s not a celebration, it’s more of a mourning – for the 100 million Chinese people who lost their lives from unnatural deaths because of the Chinese Communist Party. More Chinese lost their lives than [under] Hitler and Stalin combined, because of the Chinese Communist Party. That’s why we’re all here.”
[傑洛米．泰勒，自由中國教會教徒]:
「這不是值得慶祝的事，更多的是悲傷，因為1億的中國人由於中共在非自然死亡下，失去他們的生命。因為中共，失去生命的中國人比希特勒和史達林（統治下）要來得多。那就是為什麼我們全到這裡的原因。」
[Ann Noonan, Free Church for China]:
“Some of the other groups that are here tonight are democracy seekers, Falun Gong practitioners, Tiananmen survivors, and human rights advocates.”
[安．諾蘭，自由中國教會教徒]: 「今晚在這的一些其他團體是民主的追求者，法輪功學員、天安門倖存者以及人權倡議人士。」
In China, under the communist regime, there is no true freedom of religion.
共產黨統治下的中國，那裡是沒有真正的宗教自由。

Bishop Jia is a senior citizen who takes care of orphans who are handicapped – and if he were in the United States he would be receiving awards for the good work that he does on behalf of the needy. And in China he is arrested regularly. Frequently… and incarcerated, followed. It’s very sad.”
[安．諾蘭，自由中國教會教徒]: 「在中國的天主教教徒被嚴重迫害。賈主教是個照顧殘障孤兒的老人，如果他在 美國，他可能因為他幫窮人所做的善事而獲獎。而在中國，他經常被逮捕，時常地……而且接著就被監禁。真是令人悲痛。」
Bishop Jia is an underground bishop of Zhengding County in Hebei Province. His arrest in March this year coincided with a meeting at the Vatican of the Plenary Commission on the Church in China.
賈主教是河北省正定縣的地下主教，他今年三月被捕的時間點，正好就在梵諦岡召開中國教區全體委員會會議。
[Ann Noonan, Free Church for China]:
“And I join the voices of fellow Catholics throughout the world to ask the People’s Republic of China in good faith effort to release Bishop Jia.”
[安．諾蘭，自由中國教會教徒]: 「我參與全球天主教徒的發聲呼籲，誠摯地要求中國人國共和國釋放賈主教。」

[Louie Russo, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
“Well, Falun Gong for the last 10 years has suffered a very systematic, a very brutal persecution in which right now an unknown number of people have unfortunately lost their lives. Plenty of people have been tortured to the point of being disabled, others just tortured and harassed to the point where their lives are ruined – and the numbers could be in the 10s or hundreds of thousands or even more. It’s really hard to get information out. But we do know this is happening and this is a known fact. For 10 years now it’s been going on.”
