Fang Lizhi, In Memoriam.


Fang Lizhi, the great Chinese patriot and human rights activist, inspiration to the June 4 martyrs, died today in Tucson Arizona.  Mr. Fang immigrated to the U.S. after seeking refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on June 5, 1989. He was granted asylum but remained in the embassy for over a year until the Chinese government let him leave for America.
