Dong Guangping’s Dangerous Escape | Global News
Description
A 68-year-old Chinese activist, Dong Guangping, risked everything in a 40-hour rubber boat journey across the Yellow Sea to escape China’s grip—he was jailed multiple times for speaking out, deported after failed attempts to flee, and even lived in hiding in Vietnam. This time, he gambled on a perilous sea escape, narrowly avoiding a cargo ship, and was rescued by South Korean coast guard and fishermen before settling in Canada with his family. His mission: prove the government can’t control him. Though he’s now granted asylum, he carries the heartbreak of missing his mother’s final days.
