Yesterday I was honored to receive the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse from @TheHist of Trinity College, the oldest student society.The recognition belongs to the human rights defenders who I have the privilege to work with over last 35 years. It serves as an acknowledgement of the importance of human rights issues in China. Past recipients include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Patti Smith, Margaret Atwood, President Michael D. Higgins. The event was attended by about 50 students and faculty on the first day of new school year. They asked many insightful and timely questions,making the experience even more meaningful. I appreciated the opportunity to share my life experiences, from Tiananmen Square to present day.I was especially encouraged by a few Chinese students who listened attentively.

昨天我有幸获得最古老的学生社团@TheHist 颁发的金质奖章,以表彰对公共议题的杰出贡献。 这一荣誉真正属于过去35年来我有幸共事的人权捍卫者们,它也代表了国际社会对中国人权问题的关注。 在都柏林三一学院新学年第一天,约有50名学生和教职员工参加了这次活动,他们提出了许多深刻而及时的问题,使这次经历更加意义非凡。我很感激有机会分享我的人生经历,从天安门广场到现在。我尤其感动的是,一些中国学生全神贯注地聆听了我的讲话,并且希望行动起来。 在发言的开始,我专门介绍了天安门母亲王炳章许志永彭立发邹幸彤黎智英高智晟张展曾雨璇
