To: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
For many years, the art of fengshui has been seen as an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture. But recently, this long standing heritage was challenged when South Korea applied to list the art as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage under its name.
South Korea succeeded in adding the Dragon Boat Festival, a celebration used to commemorate Qu Yuan, a Chinese patriot in olden times, onto the World Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2005. And now the Koreans are likely to win again. Nothing has hinted that the application will fail as the process is backed by all Korean nationals, from the country's president to the UN general-secretary.
Contrary to South Korea's zeal for applying fengshui, Chinese government still deem the art as a superstitious method to judge good or ill luck and refuse to issue official certificates to those engaged in the fengshui industry.The art of fengshui failed to be mentioned in the shortlist, which includes 35 cultural arts, that China has drawn up in preparation for next years World Intangible Cultural Heritage nomination procedure.
As Chinese, we are very disappointed with the zero reaction from the Chinese government toward the urgent situation. On the other hand, we are trying to do whatever we can to avoid this "cultural robbery" happening. We are very happy to share our cultures with everyone, it's the wealth of the whole world. However we think it's extremely disgraceful attempt on robbing it.We appreciate it very much for UNESCO protecting and respecting the cultural heritage of humanity, however, we don't think accepting the application of South Korea listing fengshui under its name would be helpful for protecting the human cultural heritage. It would only deliver a wrong message to the world that robber could steal others heritage without punishment.
We hope UNESCO would investigate the case carefully. History will not change just because one list, but truth and justice should be told to everyone.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Please sign the petition if you are a Chinese who wish to protect our culture and intelligent property. Thank you.

你是否 忘記了 那時候 的笑容 那天空 雲很多 看不見你的輪廓 (os.是我 妳好嗎 沒什麼事 只是想知道 你好不好 不說出的溫柔 讓你離開我 很難說 有沒有 想念過 妳的手 那天空 雲很多 看不見你的輪廓 想哭的衝動 開始在失去以後 在等著你的手 擁抱我的寂寞 不說出的溫柔 讓你離開我 想哭的衝動 開始在失去以後 已經擦乾了淚 為何還有點痛 去擁抱 你要的夢
如果我 已不在 妳心中
捨不得 為什麼 你說過 的以後
留下我 能不能 圓夢
只剩下 太多來不及說
這是我 最後一次打給你了 希望你 好好照顧自己)
我以為 你都會懂
等著你 我才發現難過
可能是 我不願 去觸碰
不記得 本來你 有沒有 擦口紅
反正是 我已經錯過
剩下 太多來不及說
該說的時候 早應該大聲的說 那種認真的沉默 弄巧成拙
我以為 你都會懂
該說的時候 早應該大聲的說 愛妳竟留下缺口 剩下沉默
不說出的溫柔 讓你離開我
別擔心我 我會好好過
