Xu Wanping (born April 11, 1961, Chongqing) is a veteran Chinese dissident and pro-democracy activist. He has been imprisoned or subjected to re-education through labor three times, serving a total of 23 years—nearly 20 of them in Chongqing prisons.
After the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown, Xu attempted to establish the China Action Party and was sentenced to eight years in prison with five years’ political rights deprivation. In 1998, he was detained for “disturbing public order” and subsequently sent to three years of re-education through labor. In 2005, after co-signing a letter to the United Nations with other dissidents, he was sentenced to 12 years for “inciting subversion of state power” and released in April 2014.
Despite deteriorating health and ongoing surveillance, Xu has remained firm in his political convictions, declaring he holds “no regret, no resentment.” He is widely seen as one of the most steadfast symbols of China’s pro-democracy movement—an inspiration to generations of activists.
