A uniquely cheerful form of protest in China—the hanging of banners containing a New Year’s greeting even as it imparted a human rights message—has resulted in three women being detained by police in the city of Tianjin.

The daughter of one of them, Karen Xu, a resident of Washington, D.C., is a sales representative for the Chinese version of this publication.

My mom is old. I worry what will happen to her if she's locked up for long.
