The 'intellectuals' are used to be the conscience of the Chinese society. We need to bring back the self esteem and pride of being an intellectual, and we can only achieve that after we correct what we did wrong. We should no longer play the trick of being a sub-proletariat to get away from behaving like a sub-human. We also should no longer sit indifferently when one of us doing just that.

Dr. Zhong Nanshan of GRIRD
Dr. Zhong Nanshan, head of the Guangdong Research Institute for Respiratory Diseases, said the SARS would not spread on a large scale on November 1, 2004. Dr. Zhong is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Dr. Zhong made himself famous while helping the government in 'controlling' the spread of SARS, or in the least in 'controlling' the spread of the international attentions.
In a history-making tragedy incident, a 27 years old college graduate Mr. Sun Zhigang was arrested and subsequently beaten to death under police custody in March 2003. Police in the Guangdong province arrested Sun Zhigang with a brutal law allowing them to arrest any person visiting without proper local ID (which takes time and money to get). After the incident was publicized, the newly sworn-in State Council headed by Mr. Wen Jiabao acted quickly to invalidate the law. By the time, thousands of innocent lives had been lost due to the brutal law, and probably thousands more would be saved thanks to the abolishing of the brutal law.
In another recent highly publicized incident, Dr. Zhong's laptop was stolen. Because of his special social status, the local police mobilized hundreds of man powers and recovered it within 10 days, along with dozens of stolen laptops. While thanking for the police's effort, Dr. Zhong publicly pledged for the reinstate of the brutal law. In his words, innocent people without proper registration are not far from criminals, and that sacrificing their rights to protect the interests of those privileged are well worthy.
Artist and writer Ai weiwei, son of poet Ai Qing, believed Dr. Zhong had lost the capability of feeling ashamed. Dr. Zhong Nanshan is a shameless rat.

Dr. Ren Zhenglong of SAU
Dr. Ren Zhenglong, vice president of the Sichuan Agriculture University, during an online interview at Qiangguo Forum of the People Net on March 5th 2003.
Ren suggested the authority for increase taxation upon the low income group of population on the ground that contributing to taxation would grant them the pride of being a Chinese citizen. The above remarks secured him a seat of the most shameless persons in China in the year of 2005.
