Description
Bei Dao is an internationally acclaimed poet who founded with the poets Mang Ke and Yang Lian the underground literary journal TODAY (Jintian) in 1978. He had ties to the Democracy Wall Movement and participated in the 1978 demonstration for artistic freedom. Later he went into exile in the U.S. and spoke out against the violence in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989. He became a U.S. citizen, taught in universities in the U.S. and Hong Kong and recently returned to China. This photograph was taken in NYC in a friend's house.
