Meet Li Fang, a 28-year-old graduate student at the University of Waterloo studying political science. Born in China, Li's parents were active participants in the 1989 protests, and their experiences have deeply shaped her worldview. Despite thriving in her studies and having a diverse group of friends, she often grapples with feelings of pride and sorrow regarding her heritage. As a self-exiled individual, Li feels a strong sense of responsibility to amplify the voices of those still affected by the oppressive regime back home. A passionate advocate for human rights, she hopes to one day return to China to inspire change, but for now, she channels her energy into activism and raising awareness from afar.
