Exhibit 1.1

      KongZhong Corporation Announces Notice of Sanction from China Mobile
                           Communications Corporation

Beijing,  China,  August 18,  2004 - KongZhong  Corporation  (Nasdaq:  KONG),  a
leading  provider of advanced  second  generation  (2.5G)  wireless  value added
services  in  China,  announced  that  it has  been  notified  by  China  Mobile
Communications Corporation (CMCC) of a sanction imposed on the Company.

The notice  alleged  that in recent  periods 22  wireless  value  added  service
providers  had  violated  CMCC  rules and that,  as a result,  CMCC is  imposing
sanctions and penalties on these service  providers.  In  KongZhong's  case, the
notice  stated that CMCC found one of  KongZhong's  interactive  voice  response
(IVR)  services  in  early  June  contained   inappropriate  content.  For  this
infraction,  CMCC has  suspended,  until the end of this year,  approval  of the
Company's  new  applications  for new  products  and  services on all  platforms
(including  Java,  MMS, WAP, CRBT,  IVR, and SMS) and joint  promotions with the
Company.  Additionally,  CMCC  has  suspended  the  approval  of  the  Company's
applications, if any, to operate in new platforms until June 30, 2005.

Commenting on the situation, Yunfan Zhou, Chairman and CEO of the Company, said,
"We regret this incident and  rectified  the  situation as soon as we could.  We
will  actively  work with China Mobile to minimize the impact this  sanction may
have on our business.  IVR services  accounted  for less than 2% of  KongZhong's
revenues in the second  quarter.  We already have a large  portfolio of products
and services and we will focus our near-term efforts on promoting these products
and services. Furthermore, we already have licenses to operate on the Java, MMS,
WAP, IVR, and SMS platforms on a national  basis and in CRBT in many  provinces.
We believe not being able to obtain licenses for new platforms  should therefore
not have a material impact on our results of operations in the near future."
