The Black and Red Struggle

Please join us for a rare opportunity to listen to a talk by one of China’s most eloquent dissident intellectuals. Some in Honolulu will remember his visit to the University in 1990, shortly after the Tiananmen tragedy. The Tiananmen events necessitated Yan Jiaqi’s and his wife Gao Gao’s dramatic escape from China, followed by their years in Paris, supported by the French government. Mr. Yan’s voice of political conscience has been likened to that of Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic.
