//@QiuYueshou Remembering Guo Quan of Nanjing Normal University.

NOTE: The post refers to the case of former Nanjing Normal University professor and political activist Guo Quan (郭泉), who was detained by police in 2008 and charged with “subversion of state power.” Guo is the founder of the New People’s Party (or New Democracy Party of China), an unauthorized political Party whose platform is to represent the interests of people petitioning for justice on social issues. Guo’s wife, Li Jing, and son arrived in the United States this month after fleeing China.
