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.

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.”

                 Professor Shen Hong 盛洪:   Unirule 天则经济研究所

December 18 - 21, 2018

Twenty legal experts and sociologists were invited from all over China.

The topic of the conference set by Sun Dawu was as follows: "Where is the source of crime prevention and control?"

In order to become independent and pure enterprises then Chinese private enterprises should not be coerced to set up sections of a certain political party.  There are many spheres in a society, the private sphere and the public sphere, the economic sphere and the political sphere.  Different spheres assume different societal functions and are constituted by different organizations. Enterprises are organizations in the private sphere, and their goal is to pursue profit;  political parties belong to the public sphere with a purpose to provide better public governance.  Economy is all about making a cake;  whereas, politics is all about dividing the cake.  If political organizations enter the private sphere and make cakes by using the principles for dividing the cake, no big cakes should be expected to come out of this.  If enterprises enter the public spere and divide the cake by using the method of making cakes, injustice is expected as a result.

Private Enterprise and Public Governance

On 10 July 2018, the Unirule  天则经济研究所  was evicted without notice from their offices in Beijing. Workmen welded the door shut with five staff members inside,  although they were later released.  

Professor Mao  轼茅于  was one of the co-founders of Unirule. 

Mao Yushi  轼茅于 has been suppressed for a long time because his speech and ideological views are not compatible with the Chinese authorities.  In January 2024, at the age of 95,   he left China and settled in Vancouver, Canada.  He stated that he would never return to China.

China-Silenced Economist Mao Yushi Speaks Out at 95, Declaring Democracy Will Triumph Over Autocracy

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.
