Thurs., 5/13 at 1pm: "LIVE FREE OR DIE" in CHINA with Tao Sun
Learn about the tragic story of Prof. Wu, a U.S.-educated English literature scholar, who went back to China right after the Communist Party came to power. In his autobiography, he tells of being imprisoned and publicly shamed after being labeled as an "ultra-rightist." Targeted because he was outspoken, he liked to repeat the phrase, "Live Free or Die." Despite its dramatic economic growth, China still pays only lip service to the protection of free speech, as written into its constitution. Censorship by the one-party state was partially responsible for the spread of coronavirus in China and beyond. ~ Dr. Sun is associate professor of public communication at UVM and a former news editor in China.
