A student in Bellevue College didn’t hide his identity when he supported a protest that occurred on Oct. 13 in China. The Chinese police immediately visited his family in Beijing. “I won’t keep silent,” he said.
Han Yutao, (Thomas) arrived the United States to attend college in September. In an interview with the Chinese language edition of The Epoch Times on Oct. 21, he expressed his desire to expose the evilness of the communist regime.
On Oct. 13, days before the regime’s national congress was to start, a man hung banners protesting Xi Jinping’s policies and lit a fire on the heavily guarded Sitong Bridge in Beijing.
Inspired by the incident, Thomas was encouraged to voice his support on the U.S. school campus. But the next day, his brother called him from Beijing on the 19th, and reproached him, “What have you done in the United States?”
The police visited his family, and obtained his contact information in the United States from his mother.No More Silence
Han admired the courage of the “bridge man” in Beijing and tweeted his support online.
“But I was embarrassed by my own act. Why can’t I reveal my true identity to show my support?” he said.
He explained, “He’s brave. I don’t think I have the courage to do what he did. But, I am now in America, so I should not fear the CCP. I can’t keep silent.”
“If evil dares to show its face, why can’t justice?” he said.
He decided to make flyers of support and distribute them on campus. He also made an online video that showed his face in which he said “I oppose Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
Soon after, he received a call from his brother who said the police had visited his family.
The police did not say why they were there.
