Sun Wenguang, a retired university professor, is currently running for the Chinese National People’s Congress (NPC) as an independent candidate.
“I don’t know why the university authorities panic so much over a 73-year-old man like me,” said Sun. “Actually my campaign can’t have much influence on the election. So I guess the university received orders from above to take actions against me.”
Sun is running his campaign at Shandong University of Jinan City, Shandong Province, 300 miles east of Beijing where he retired a few years ago. Although Sun has only put up posters on campus and gave speeches to very small audiences for his campaign run, the university treated him with utmost alarm and tried to sabotage his every effort for the campaign.
In his interview with The Epoch Times on November 8, 2007, Sun discussed about some of the measures that the university authorities have taken against his campaign.
