SUN Dawu (孙大午)

who was born in  June 1954 is a Chinese entrepreneur.  He owns the Dawu Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Group along with his wife, Liu Huiru (刘会茹).  The Dawu Group was originally focused on agriculture and gradually broadened its scope to include animal feed, real estate, education, and healthcare operations. Dawu is recognized as an advocate of farmers' rights and rural land reform. 

A prominent Chinese billionaire has been sentenced to 18 years in prison, the latest in a string of punishments against outspoken corporate bosses.

Sun, 67, has in the past spoken out about human rights and politically sensitive topics.  He was found guilty of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" - a charge often used against activists. Other charges against him include illegally occupying farmland, assembling a crowd to attack state agencies and obstructing government workers from performing their duties.  He was reportedly detained last year, along with 20 relatives and business associates, over a land dispute with a government-run farm.

The Case of Sun Dawu

'Sapere aude!  Have courage to use your own understanding was Immanuel Kant's motif for enlightenment, and this is exactly what Sun Dawu, a private businessman from Xushui County in Hebei Province, has shown over the last ten or more years. 

Sun claims to be a Marxist and a believer in communism: however, not as an outcome of class struggle but rather as the highest form of capitalism which should deliver common prosperity. He sees the market economy as a moral economic system where businessmen are the moral actors.

A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT

A billionaire pig farmer fights his conviction from behind bars as tycoons face crackdown in China

By DAVID LAGUE

Sept. 10, 2024

In a handwritten submission from his prison in rural northern China, billionaire pig and chicken farmer Sun Dawu implored the court to hear his appeal. He was serving an 18-year sentence on charges including corruption. There was far more at stake than his own unjust conviction, the 70-year-old tycoon wrote in his Nov. 16 plea.

Without his leadership, the business he’d built for decades would collapse, he warned. His company, Hebei Dawu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group, had more than ten thousand employees.

If his appeal was delayed, “the enterprise will be completely wrecked,” he wrote in the legal document, seen by Reuters. “I don’t think this is what leaders of the court, party committees and governments at all levels want to see.”

In the past few years, Sun Dawu (孙大午)  and his team have consulted a number of historical books and scriptures, made on-the-spot investigations, and invited experts to hold seminars validating the issue. Finally, they came to the conclusion that it is probable that the event of unifying totem took place on Fu Mountain in Xushui County.  The Yellow Emperor Huangdi brought together the tribes on Fu Shan. 

D. Carlton Rossi posits that there are embedded carved images on  Fu Shan portraying tribal animals and the face of Huangdi himself. 

Remembrance of Things Past

Recently, I read a story about a Parliamentary page who used that platform as a springboard to a political career. My story is different. I never fully developed an interest in politics. It wasn't as if I didn't have the potential to become a politician. My father regularly ran for re-election to the Board of Education. At election time, he would strap on a big sign on his little car. My sister and I would also go door to door delivering pamphlets which reminded the electorate of my dad's accomplishments if not his existence....

Sun wants to establish an ideal city-state which will serve as a model for the rest of China. It is founded upon practical Confucian principles which have formed the basis of Chinese society and family for thousands of years. His goal is to transform a rural community based on agriculture to a civilized city-state (based upon culture) which has Chinese and international characteristics.  Specifically, he wishes to improve the quality of life for farmers and peasants by job creation.
