Wang Chaohua

Chaohua Wang was one of the key organisers of the protests. She was able to escape to Los Angeles while many of her friends were killed.
After going into hiding, Wang escaped to Los Angeles, leaving her six year old son behind. In LA, she worked as a cleaner while learning English to enrol in UCLA and began writing political essays on her own website. Soon, she received her MA and PHD degrees. Since leaving the mainland, the closest she has been to Communist China was at the Hong Kong International Airport where, in 2004, she met her son again. She is now an accomplished writer and editor living in Los Angeles with a second home in North London.
