Law Professor Yuan Hong-bing escaped from the People’s Republic of China where he taught at Peking University. An advocate of democracy, Yuan found himself under arrest and his literary works banned in the years following the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Yuan was able to obtain release from jail and eventually travelled to Australia where he sought political asylum. The refugee scholar now makes his home in Taiwan where he is a law professor, political writer and poet. He is the president of the Intellectual Freedom Association of China and the chief editor of the“Sacred Fire of Liberty” website.
