US China--Democracy Wall

Over the weekend look up Wei Jingsheng online.  Who is he? Where is he now?  What did he do to get into trouble? What happened during the Democracy Wall movement? Read his Fifth Modernization essay, described at http://dir.salon.com/story/opinion/freedom/2003/07/15/modernization/ The actual essay is archived at http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/china/jingshen.html.
