The Fifth Anniversary
This is the Fifth Anniversary of the arrest of SUN Dawu known as The Great Noon. He and his entire family were arrested. This action made his grandchildren orphans according to Chinese law. At midnight, 300 police in tactical gear armed with submachine guns and accompanied by attack dogs invaded the private property of Dawu City. They seized all property which was later sold at a pittance. SUN Dawu, his two brothers and his son still remain in prison.

300 Police Seize Family, Executives and Dawu Group company

This day was chosen by the local government to arrest Sun Dawu and his entire family at gun point. The government wanted the news of the arrest to get lost in the online consumer frenzy of Single's Day.
The author wishes also to bring to the reader's attention the importance of the date of November 11, 2020 which is known as Remembrance Day in the West. Sun had reason to remember the anniversary of that date for another reason. It was the seventeenth anniversary of the verdict of his earlier trial. It is without doubt that he was arrested on November 11, 2020 because it is the date of that anniversary. The government was signaling to him that he hadn't reformed with respect to "picking quarrels and provoking trouble". In other words, he didn't mind his p's and q's. It was a clear message to Sun. He had been arrested and Dawu Group had been taken over in 2020 as it had been in 2003.

Major food-producing countries are growing increasingly frustrated with China’s scrutiny of imported products and are calling on it to stop aggressive testing for the novel coronavirus, which some say is tantamount to a trade restriction.
China says it has found the virus on the packaging of products from 20 countries including German pork, Brazilian beef and Indian fish, but foreign officials say the lack of evidence produced by authorities means it is damaging trade and hurting the reputation of imported food without reason.
Falun Gong

One of the stars called (大尊) or Psi Ursae Majoris of the Great Bear Constellation is located on the far left. Allen interpreted 大尊 to mean “extremely honorable” by using the Wade-Gilles system. It was formerly one of the Royals in a Chinese constellation called Wuanyuan or Yellow Emperor. Psi Ursae Majoris points directly to the Alpha star called Regulus which is at the heart of the modern constellation called Leo.

This poem or l'image© is part of The Elegant Celestial Giza Series©.
For special purposes, the poet has classified this poem as Chinese. It is Chinese because the poet originally drew a version of it in 2014 while in China. It is Chinese because it is dedicated to SUN Dawu 孙大午 or The Great Noon. It is Chinese because the title 孙大午: 大尊 天空的 狮头人像© is in Chinese. However, the most important reason is because the I'mage© includes a special star. This star which is visible to the naked eye is outside of the Big and Little Dipper asterisms as well as the Pole Star known as 11 Draconis (Flamsteed designation) or Thuban. The star is Psi Ursae Majoris (大尊) within the Great Bear Constellation. This star is located at the tip of the paw. The name was possibly derived from the word 太尊, Tàizūn, meaning Royals, because this star stands alone as the only member of the Royals asterism within the Purple Forbidden enclosure. This I'mage © is the only one in the Great Bear Constellation as opposed to the Draco Constellation. The I'mage © symbolizes the Chinese and now universal Mandate of Heaven.

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.”
