## Resource

After four failed escape attempts, Chinese political dissident Dong Guangping has finally reached freedom — landing in Canada after a daring sea voyage to South Korea. Once jailed for inciting subversion and attending a Tiananmen memorial, Dong’s long journey to reunite with his family in Canada was made possible by years of advocacy from fellow activist Sheng Xue. Despite being turned away by Thailand, Vietnam, and even attempting a swim to Taiwan, his persistence paid off — and while Canadian officials remain silent, his arrival marks a historic moment for those fighting for refuge.
