SUN: "I have played down the words fame and fortune. I have no ambition or selfishness. I am thinking about how to bear more social responsibilities. It is an entrepreneur who is concerned about the country and the people, and an enterprise is for the country and the people. Family spirit. If I have the opportunity, I hope to reflect to the central leadership. I want to tell him that China’s problems, especially the three rural issues, are easily resolved, and I will tell him my feelings. The problem of Chinese farmers has not been solved before, and I hope he can solve it."

ZHOU QING: THE BACKGROUND OF THE SUN DAWU INCIDENT-AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SUN DAWU AFTER HE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON [2003]
2021 year 07 month 18 day 7: 33
Zhou: Can you talk about why you want to make your business small, slow, and solid?
Sun: So great companies do not stem from great ideas. Enterprises, especially large enterprises, cannot aim at making profits, but aim at being a human being and being responsible to society. I feel that a large company does not depend on one of its leaders, but on its system, and on whether it can bring out a group of people, so that it can last.
Zhou: Please describe the future of Dawu City?
Sun: The Dawu City I talked about is a harmonious concept. There must be rich and poor here, but this difference is only reflected in the means of production, not in the means of subsistence. Everyone is equal in dignity and lives. There can be few differences in quality, and there is a peaceful relationship between people.

The Spring Breeze Is Bound to Cause Ripples: A New Year Statement by The China Human Rights Lawyers Group
China Change
January 1, 2022
In 1925, the 26-year-old poet and political dissident Wen Yiduo (闻一多) wrote in his poem titled “Dead Water”:
Here is a ditch of doomed, dead water
No spring breeze can stir up even half a ripple
On August 31, in Hebei Province, a guilty verdict was handed down following the second trial of the Dawu Group executives. The head of this famed agricultural enterprise, Sun Dawu (孙大午), was sentenced to 18 years in prison on trumped up charges along with nearly all of his family members, and his conglomerate seized by the state.

L’affaire Sun Dawu : codification des droits réels et microfinance en Chine

In addition, owners and employees themselves can be imprisoned for long terms for practically any reason. The Chinese idiom 欲加之罪何患無辭 is applicable.

一個一天要倒搭十萬元的醫院,才是全國人民認定他是好人的論證依據。

Sun Dawu said he is a clean person. I believe you?
Apollo News Network 2020-11-19
Author: Hu Jincheng
It is said that the hospital run by Sun Dawu has an investment of up to 660 million yuan. After the hospital is put into use, Dawu Group subsidizes the hospital 30 million yuan+ every year.
A hospital that costs 100,000 yuan a day is the basis for the argument that the people of the whole country believe that he is a good person.
This argument is very thin, and this argument is also very strong. If you say that it is used to buy people's hearts, then why don't you come to buy it?
We are all waiting to buy it.
En Chine, un milliardaire critique du pouvoir condamné à 18 ans de prison

Connu pour son franc-parler, Sun Dawu avait lui aussi critiqué avec véhémence les autorités pour leur gestion de la pandémie. Il s'était déjà fait remarquer en 2019 lors d'une épidémie dévastatrice de peste porcine dans le pays, à l'origine de l'abattage de millions de têtes. Il avait publié en ligne des photos de cochons morts pour alerter les médias et accusé les responsables locaux de laxisme face à la maladie.
Critique régulier des politiques rurales, Sun Dawu demande que les agriculteurs soient davantage libres de s'organiser pour protéger leurs intérêts économiques.
Signe de la sensibilité de son procès, une forte présence policière était visible aux abords du tribunal, selon une vidéo partagée par son avocat. Le procès "a violé les normes judiciaires et les droits de l'accusé n'ont pas été garantis", a estimé ce dernier dans un communiqué.

Known for his outspokenness, Sun Dawu had also vehemently criticized the authorities for their management of the pandemic. He had already stood out in 2019 during a devastating epidemic of swine fever in the country, which caused the slaughter of millions of heads. He had posted photos of dead pigs online to alert the media and accused local officials of being lax about the disease.
A regular critic of rural policies, Sun Dawu calls for farmers to be more free to organize to protect their economic interests.
Sign of the sensitivity of his trial, a strong police presence was visible around the court, according to a video shared by his lawyer. The trial "violated judicial standards and the rights of the accused have not been guaranteed," said the latter in a statement.
Wer ist Sun Dawu?
von Konstantin Kladensky
Sun Dawu ist ein erfolgreicher chinesischer Unternehmer, der zusammen mit einigen Familienmitgliedern im November 2020 festgenommen wurde. Die Verhaftung sorgte international für Aufsehen und ist im Kontext von Suns demokratisch organisiertem Unternehmensmodell zu betrachten.
Die Grenzen demokratischer Experimente
Suns Unternehmensmodell ist ein markantes Gegenbeispiel zu der vereinfachenden Gegenüberstellung vom grundsätzlich demokratischen Westen und dem autoritär denkenden China. Anders als in der Politik ist der Kontrast in der Privatwirtschaft weniger stark ausgeprägt. Immerhin hält auch der Westen in der Privatwirtschaft, abgesehen von wenigen Ausnahmen, noch an undemokratischen Organisationsstrukturen fest. Obwohl wir demokratische Wahlen als große Errungenschaft betrachten, ist es am Arbeitsplatz selten, „zentrale betriebliche Entscheidungen“, wie die Besetzung von Führungspositionen, mit Beteiligung der Arbeiter*innenschaft zu treffen.
Eine Organisationsform wie die von Suns Firma ist mit dem System der KPCh nur schwer vereinbar. Denn durch Suns Unternehmen sammelt die Landbevölkerung Erfahrung mit einem funktionierenden demokratischen System. Anders als bei den von der KPCh kontrollierten Wahlen auf der Dorfebene werden durch die Wahlen in Suns Unternehmen Positionen mit tatsächlicher Entscheidungsgewalt besetzt. Noch dazu macht Suns Firma der KPCh das Monopol der Koordination und Mediation zwischen verschiedenen Gesellschaftsgruppen streitig. Diese subversiven Aspekte der von Sun Dawu entwickelten Organisationsstruktur erklären auch, weshalb die Behörden sofort die Kontrolle über die Firma übernahmen.

Who is Sun Dawu?
by Konstantin Kladensky
Sun Dawu is a successful Chinese entrepreneur who was arrested along with some family members in November 2020. The arrest caused a stir internationally and has to be seen in the context of Sun's democratically organized business model.
The Limits of Democratic Experimentation
Sun's corporate model is a striking counter-example to the simplistic comparison of the fundamentally democratic West and authoritarian China. In contrast to politics, the contrast in the private sector is less pronounced. After all, with a few exceptions, the West is still clinging to undemocratic organizational structures in the private sector. Although we consider democratic elections to be a great achievement, it is rare in the workplace to make “key operational decisions”, such as filling management positions, with the participation of workers.
An organizational form like that of Sun's company is difficult to reconcile with the CCP's system. Because through Sun's company, the rural population gains experience with a functioning democratic system. Unlike the CCP-controlled village-level elections, the elections in Sun's companies fill positions with actual decision-making power. In addition, Sun's company is challenging the CCP for the monopoly of coordination and mediation between different social groups. These subversive aspects of the organizational structure developed by Sun Dawu also explain why the authorities immediately took control of the company.
Chinese Billionaire Sun Dawu: Davu Group's annual revenue exceeds $456 million, Sun Dawu has been sentenced to 18 years by the Chinese government
Rakesh Ranjan | navbharattimes.comUpdated: 29 Jul 2021
This Chinese businessman has earned a lot of wealth. But he prefers to stay away from the flamboyance. He doesn't have a big house. He has not even kept a car for himself. He has helped the people of rural areas a lot. Along with medical facilities in the villages, he has also arranged for education for the children. He had said on Twitter that he would not allow his hospital to earn money from people.
He was taken into custody after Davu had praised the lawyers amid the crackdown on the legal activists of the government. In August 2020, employees of Davu prevented a government company from demolishing a company building. After this, apart from Davu, 20 more people were taken into custody and they have also been tried and convicted.

Sun Dawu criticó abiertamente al régimen de Xi Jinping en el pasado y se ha pronunciado sobre cuestiones de derechos humanos y de políticas rurales.
El empresario fue detenido el año pasado, según reportes, junto a 20 familiares y socios comerciales, por una disputa de tierras con una granja administrada por el gobierno.
En ese momento dijo que decenas de sus empleados resultaron heridos en un incidente con la policía relacionado con la disputa, según un informe de AFP.
Se dice que Sun es cercano a algunos destacados disidentes políticos chinos y en el pasado ha criticado las políticas rurales del gobierno.

The ruling of prominent Chinese billionaire Sun Dawu is the latest in a series of sanctions against corporate bosses being carried out by Chinese authorities.
The businessman was reportedly arrested last year, along with 20 family members and business partners, over a land dispute with a government-run farm.
At the time he said dozens of his employees were injured in an incident with police related to the dispute, according to an AFP report.
Sun is said to be close to some prominent Chinese political dissidents and has been critical of the government's rural policies in the past.
保育钧 Bao Yujun
"影响农村金融稳定的不是孙大午,而是垄断的、僵化的金融体制。”
"It is not Sun Dawu that affects rural financial stability, but the monopolistic and rigid financial system."
SUN Dawu's Eulogy to Bao Yujun
保育钧先生曾对邓小平复出、恢复高考、为知识分子正名起到过重要作用。他由宣传部门转到全国工商联工作后,两次提案促成私产入宪,屡次为民企发声。他率真耿直,敢说实话。说实话是需要胆量的,更是令人尊敬的。人们称他“保大炮”,我倒觉得他更像温暖民企的火把。他对中国的民营经济贡献很大,民企不应该忘记他,我们大午集团更不会忘记他。2014年在我们企业创办30周年庆祝活动中,保主席发言说:“大午集团自力更生、循序渐进,自食其力光彩!不劳而获不光彩。”对此,我们很有感触!“自食其力”就是我们大午集团风雨三十年的写照,我们今后的发展还是要靠“自食其力”。
Mr. Bao Yujun played an important role in Deng Xiaoping's comeback, the restoration of the college entrance examination, and the rectification of intellectuals. After he was transferred from the propaganda department to the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, two proposals led to the entry of private property into the constitution, and he repeatedly spoke for private enterprises. He is straightforward and dare to tell the truth. To be honest, it takes courage and is respectable. People call him "protecting a cannon", but I think he is more like a torch that warms private enterprises. He has made a great contribution to China's private economy. Private enterprises should not forget him, and Dawu Group will never forget him. In the celebration of the 30th anniversary of our establishment in 2014, Chairman Bao said: "Dawu Group is self-reliant and gradual! It is not honourable for nothing." We are very touched by this! "Self-reliance" is the portrayal of the 30 years of our Dawu Group. Our future development still depends on "self-reliance".

And its involvement in social service functions has touched the deep-seated jurisdiction of the government. In particular, education, medical care and pensions, the pillar industries of the troika, have been turned into welfare undertakings by him, which not only undermines industrial policies and the industrial environment, but is also suspected of overtaking the grassroots government.

Sun Dawu: Control capital and put the power of the boss in a cage!
节制资本和平均地权是孙中山民生主义的两大基本纲领,他说的节制资本指的是限制发达国家资本和私人资本,防止他们操纵国计民生,这是一种政治主张。我是搞企业的,我说的节制资本是限制老板的权力。
Moderate capital and equal land rights are the two basic principles of Sun Yat-sen's people's livelihood. The moderation of capital refers to restricting capital and private capital in developed countries to prevent them from manipulating the national economy and people's livelihood. This is a political proposition. I run a business enterprise, and the control of capital I said is to restrict the power of the boss.

其实真正的社会历史,并不是这种英雄历史,而是社会生态的历史。比如《清明上河图》,描绘了500多个人物,没有一个高官和将军,都是那种熙熙攘攘的市民,展现的是普通百姓的生活状态,这才是真正的社会历史。在正常情况下,无论社会怎么腐败,通常也只是官员的腐败,而底层的老百姓,仍然是种田、做工、做买卖,安稳地生活,追求家庭幸福。这是社会生态,是人类的历史,也是主历史。我想,这个才是大道。
In fact, the true social history is not this kind of heroic history, but the history of social ecology. For example, "The Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival" depicts more than 500 characters, not a single high-ranking official or general, they are all the bustling citizens, showing the living conditions of ordinary people, this is the real social history. Under normal circumstances, no matter how corrupt society is, it is usually just corruption of officials. The people at the bottom still farm, work, trade, live steadily, and pursue family happiness. This is the social ecology, the history of mankind, and the main history. I think this is the avenue.

This passage of Sun Dawu reminds the author of Tolstoy's views reflected in War and Peace. It depicts a rather non-heroic, fictional history of a battle which is not normally described by historians who concentrate on how leaders forge events. In a sense though it is a true-to-life representation of the real battle.
The narrator of Tolstoy's story of Borodino in War and Peace is Pierre Bezukhov. He naively stumbles upon the battle by happenstance. In a similar manner, the location of Bordino for the battle was not planned but occured by chance.
This view is expanded upon in a dedicated second epilogue by Tolstoy concerning his philosophy of history. He expresses that events are not caused by leaders. "But examining the events themselves and the connection in which the historical persons stood to the people, we have found that they and their orders were dependent on events."
The Battle of Borodino was a battle fought on 7 September 1812 during Napoleon's French invasion of Russia. In Book 10, Chapter XXXIII of War and Peace the battle is described. The reader will want to pay particular attention to the following passage from War and Peace. "The sun had risen brightly and its slanting rays struck straight into Napoleon's face as, shading his eyes with his hand, he looked at the fleches. The smoke spread out before them, and at times it looked as if the smoke were moving, at times as if the troops moved."
The following passage in Chapter XXXIII describes events as seen by an observer.
"The marshals and generals, who were nearer to the field of battle, but like Napoleon, did not take part in the actual fighting and only occasionally went within musket range, made their own arrangements without asking Napoleon and issued orders where and in what direction to fire and where cavalry should gallop and infantry should run. But even their orders, like Napoleon's, were seldom carried out, and then but partially. For the most part things happened contrary to their orders. Soldiers ordered to advance ran back on meeting grapeshot; soldiers ordered to remain where they were, suddenly, seeing Russians unexpectedly before them, sometimes rushed back and sometimes forward, and the cavalry dashed without orders in pursuit of the flying Russians. In this way two cavalry regiments galloped through the Semenovsk hollow and as soon as they reached the top of the incline turned round and galloped full speed back again. The infantry moved in the same way, sometimes running to quite other places than those they were ordered to go to. All orders as to where and when to move the guns, when to send infantry to shoot or horsemen to ride down the Russian infantry- all such orders were given by the officers on the spot nearest to the units concerned, without asking either Ney, Davout, or Murat, much less Napoleon. They did not fear getting into trouble for not fulfilling orders or for acting on their own initiative, for in battle what is at stake is what is dearest to man- his own life- and it sometimes seems that safety lies in running back, sometimes in running forward; and these men who were right in the heat of the battle acted according to the mood of the moment. In reality, however, all these movements forward and backward did not improve or alter the position of the troops.
It is rather remarkable that SUN Dawu has been able to arrive at a very sophisticated philosophical and sociological view of past and present society without formal education. It is unlikely that he has ever read War and Peace in Chinese translation with its 559 characters; yet, his viewpoints mirror the views expressed to a great degree by Leo Tolstoy.

It is rather remarkable that SUN Dawu has been able to arrive at a very sophisticated philosophical and sociological view of past and present society without formal education. It is unlikely that he has ever read War and Peace in Chinese translation with its 559 characters; yet, his viewpoints mirror the views expressed to a great degree by Leo Tolstoy.
It is also probable that he has never read Anna Karenina which is regarded by many critics as the best novel ever written; although, he has undoubtedly read all the Chinese classics on his own. What stands out to the author, however, is the uncanny resemblance between SUN Dawu and Konstantin Dmitrich Levin who is one of the protagonists of the novel. For example, read the brief description of Levin below which is provided by SparkNotes. Of course, Sun is not a landowner, but a farmer who leases the land.
"A socially awkward but generous-hearted landowner who, along with Anna, is the co-protagonist of the novel. Whereas Anna’s pursuit of love ends in tragedy, Levin’s long courtship of Kitty Shcherbatskaya ultimately ends in a happy marriage. Levin is intellectual and philosophical but applies his thinking to practical matters such as agriculture. He aims to be sincere and productive in whatever he does, and resigns from his post in local government because he sees it as useless and bureaucratic."

Sun Dawu: If the world must kill the rooster, can I be a dog?

The second time I shed tears was when my lawyer team defended me. They surveyed many villagers and were surprised that the common people supported an entrepreneur so widely. They told me in court, "Using the Criminal Law to destroy an excellent private enterprise, destroying a high-quality enterprise without any record of dishonesty, and without any social problems, is not the purpose of legislation. If the law must be used to judge, Punishing such enterprises can only show that there is a problem with the law!" At that time, I was moved. I heard the voices of the people and felt the support of the fathers and villagers.

第二次流泪,是我的律师团给我辩护的时候。他们调查了很多村民,对老百姓如此广泛的拥戴一个企业家感到很吃惊。他们在法庭上对我说,“用《刑法》去摧毁一个优秀的民营企业,摧毁一个没有任何不诚信记录,没有任何社会问题的优质企业,不是立法的目的。如果一定要用法律去审判、惩罚这样的企业,只能说明法律有问题!”当时我动情了,我听到了老百姓的声音,感受到了父老乡亲们的支持。

什么是敢担责任?敢担责任就是“这件事情做错了,我承担”,对自己或整个团队所犯的错误承担责任。把事情做成了,有了鲜花、奖励,甚至是提拔,应该表态“成功是大家的力量”,有荣誉让,有困难上,这才是好汉!有困难有责任时勇往直前,“别找他,这事我负责”!这就是敢担责任。俗话说“天塌下来有高个的顶着”,在大午集团,我就把自己定位成“高个的”。只要我不倒,大午集团就会牢牢挺立。我的作用就是开辟一个空间,让大家安居乐业。
Sun Dawu: Reasonable, dare to take responsibility
2020-11-06 10:12:38 Views: 60 times
What is to dare to take responsibility? To dare to take responsibility is to "make this thing wrong, I will take it" and take responsibility for the mistakes made by yourself or the entire team. When things are done, with flowers, rewards, and even promotion, one should state that "success is everyone's strength", with honors and difficulties, this is a hero! When there are difficulties and responsibilities, go forward bravely, "Don't find him, I am responsible for this matter"! This is to dare to take responsibility. As the saying goes, "When the sky falls, there is a tall man against it." In Dawu Group, I position myself as a "tall man." As long as I don't fall, Dawu Group will stand firm. My role is to create a space for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment.

在食品公司,我提了个问题:熏鸡保存了两个月、三个月、六个月,味道是什么样的?他们答不上来。实际上,口味的变化,有一个速变的过程。虽然保质期是六个月,但我们必须得清楚,从哪一天开始,口味开始有明显变化。如果我们的鸡吃着没问题,可味道变了,同样是质量不稳定。要想打造品牌,保质期就只能定为三个月,不能是六个月。食品公司要赶快研究,哪一批鸡,哪一天的口味变化,要详实地记录下来,不能糊里糊涂。有了这样的认真,才能真正把产品做好。有了这种精益求精的精神,一定能把食品公司发展好。
Sun Dawu: Genuine goods at a fair price, adhere to the bottom line, and take the road of own characteristics
At the food company, I asked a question: What does the smoked chicken taste like after two months, three months, and six months? They couldn't answer. In fact, there is a rapid process of taste changes. Although the shelf life is six months, we must be clear about when the taste begins to change significantly. If our chicken eats okay, but the taste has changed, the quality is also unstable. To build a brand, the shelf life can only be set at three months, not six months. Food companies should quickly study which batch of chickens and the day's taste changes should be recorded in detail, and should not be confused. Only with such seriousness can we really do a good job of the product. With this spirit of excellence, the food company will surely develop well.

Enterprise Anti-Corruption-Dawu Group's Anti-Corruption Practice
2020-11-05 09:24:41 Views: 68 times
Corporate anti-corruption is a very heavy topic, and it is also a long-term and arduous task. Corruption will corrode the leading cadres of an enterprise and prevent the normal development of the enterprise. Some companies are good at first, but they have been running around for a long time, and once they settle the accounts, they don’t know where the money is going. The efficiency cannot be improved and the benefits cannot be achieved. Regarding the anti-corruption of enterprises, I will talk about three points: one is the anti-corruption of the people, the second is the anti-corruption of the system, and the third is how to deal with corruption.
