Public Response to “Sunshine Project” (2)

Liu Zhimin (Deputy Director and Professor of National Institute on Drug Dependence, Peking University):
Many narcotics control experts and volunteers are working at the frontline of the “Sunshine Project”. They work conscientiously and diligently on a lot of work to link and coordinate the work. Some of the drug addicts even regard them as “agony aunts”. Their impressive stories touched me deeply.

Yang Fei (Director of Local Channels of People’s Daily Online)
The launch of the “Sunshine Project” is not a release of policy, but love. It is a great project built in accordance with the history and actual condition of Guizhou Province on the premise of respecting all drug addicts’ life.

Lai Hairong (Director of China Center for Overseas Social and Philosophical Theories):
The “Sunshine Project” reflects the advancement of the cause of human rights in the legal construction; it also fully embodies the philosophy on the progress of modern human rights. It not merely takes the drug addicts as inflicter of the society, but more importantly, as victims of society; they not only take the rehabilitation center as a tool to punish the criminals, but a way to help them to find their own position and return to society. The philosophies reflected in the “Sunshine Project” are a progressive undertaking. It is not only of great domestic significance, but more solid and progressive significance internationally on China’s human rights and legal systems.
