"Buildings and bridges are made to bend in the wind
to withstand the world that's what it takes.
All that steel and stone are no match for the air my friends.
What doesn't bend breaks, what doesn't bend breaks."

Chinese Activist Flees House Arrest

http://www.npr.org/2012/04/27/151530934/blind-chinese-activist-flees-house-arrest

"A blind Chinese activist, one of the country's most prominent, has made an audacious escape from house arrest and is safe from Chinese authorities, according to his supporters.

Yet days after Chen Guangchen fled his home, it's not clear exactly where he is. A diplomatic source indicates that he is inside the U.S. embassy, but this has not been confirmed officially.

Chen has attracted international attention with his efforts to prevent forced illegal abortions in China. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has spoken out in support of him."
