标题:Update (Aug.15, 2009) Hepatitis B Discrimination in China!
Dear meeting organizers,
We are Chinese hepatitis B carriers. First, we appreciate your effort of organizing the 25th International Hepatitis B Meeting. We understand the meeting focuses on Molecular Biology of Hepatitis B Viruses this year. However, this meeting may change 130 million people’s lives as well.
HBV discrimination is severe in China. All kindergartens, some schools and most employers refuse to accept carriers. Would you forward this letter to international experts or make a poster in the meeting? Hope international experts could explain: whether carriers can infect others in kindergartens, schools and workplaces? Whether kindergartens, schools and workplaces need to force the applicants to take the 5-item HBV test?
Fortunately, Chinese government already paid attention to the issue of HBV discrimination. However, the critical matter whether cancel the mandatory Hepatitis B 5-item test in regular physical exams is still pending. Your support in this fateful moment can save 130 million people’s lives. We do appreciate your understanding and help.
Best Regards
Chinese HBV carriers
Attachment: HBV carriers’ life conditions:
Pregnant women and newborns: Most carrier pregnant women are forced to deliver babies in infection hospitals which means the babies’ birth certificates are marked “born in infection hospital”. These cute babies have to carry this burden for the whole life no matter he/she is Hepatitis B carrier or not, just because their mothers are virus carriers. They are labeled since born. We admit that some pregnant women need to deliver babies in infection hospitals because their health condition, but for healthy carriers, please do not force them!
Preschool children: From 1990s to present, kids who are carrier are disenfranchised the right of entering kindergartens. They have no friends to play with, they cannot receive preschool education and they are labeled as “infection patients”. You can imagine that almost every kid in this situation has more or less psychological health problem. Discrimination, aloneness, depression and other negative influences accompany with them since about 2 years old and last for their whole lives. Please help these disadvantaged children and their heart-broken mothers. Please give them a chance to play and learn in kindergartners like other kids!
Students in elementary schools, junior/senior high schools: Most schools accept carrier students, but there are still some schools refuse to accept carrier students or force carriers to drop off schools!
Students in higher education areas: Carrier students have fewer boundaries to apply undergraduate programs than to apply graduate programs. There are quite a lot of graduate schools refuse to admit carriers no matter how outstanding the students are. Please help them to realize their dreams!
Young people in job markets: Experiencing all challenges above, these carriers eventually graduate and begin to look for jobs. They can pass several competitive interviews, but they are rejected because the compulsive physical exams indicate that they are carriers. No offers, no future, no hope. Please give them work opportunities. They need to live!

Nous sommes les porteurs d'hépatite B qui viennent de la Chine.Primièrement,nous apprécions de vos efforts pour organiser la 25ème Conférence Internationale d'Hépatite B.On sait le sujet de cette conférence cette année est la recherche dans la domaine de la biologie moléculaire et le virus de l'hépatite B.Toutefois,en même temps,cette conférence va peut-être changer la destinée des 130 million chinois!
En Chine,la discrimination adressant aux proteurs d'Hépatite B par le public sont très grave!Toutes les garderies d'enfant,quelques écoles et la plus part des employeurs refusent d'accepter les porteurs.Pourriez-vous transmettre cette lettre aux experts internationals ou bien afficher une affiche pendant cette conférence?Nous ésperons les experts internationals pouvoir expliquer: Est-ce que les porteurs pouvoir infecter les autres aux garderies d'enfant,aux écoles et aux entreprises?Est-ce que les garderies d'enfant,les écoles et les entreprises ont besoin de forcer les demandeurs de prendre le test de 5-item de HBV?
Heureusement,le gouvernment chinois a déja fait attention à la discrimination de HBV.Toutefois,le problem critique qu'est-ce qu'il faut annuler le test contraignant sur le 5-item d'Hépatite B dans l'examen physique classique est encore en suspens!Les soutiens que vous nous donnez va sauver la destinée des 130 million chinois.Nous vous remercions de vos conpréhensions et vos aides!
Veuillz croire,Madame et Monsieur,à tous mes sentiments de respectueuse!
标题: Update (Aug.15, 2009) Hepatitis B Discrimination in China!
Dear reporters in France,
We are Chinese hepatitis B carriers and turn to you for help. Please pay attention to the 25th International Hepatitis B Meeting which will be held in Loire Valley on August 30, 2009. Please help us use this meeting to draw the world’s attention to the issue of Hepatitis B discrimination in China. Your articles may change 130 million people’s lives.
HBV discrimination is severe in China. All kindergartens, some schools and most employers refuse to accept carriers. Would you interview international experts about these questions: whether Chinese carriers can infect others in kindergartens, schools and workplaces? Whether kindergartens, schools and workplaces in China need to force the applicants to take the 5-item HBV test?
Fortunately, Chinese government already paid attention to the issue of HBV discrimination. However, the critical matter whether cancel the mandatory Hepatitis B 5-item test in regular physical exams is still pending. Your support in this fateful moment can save 130 million people’s lives. We do appreciate your understanding and help.

我写了一个法语版。小弟不才,虽然检查多遍,但难免有疏漏之处,楼主把帖子编辑一下,跟英语版放到一起,让大家帮忙看看有没有什么错误。基本上是按照你写的那个英语版的直接翻译过来的。希望对大家有所帮助。战友们要加油哦!
