Waiting Is The Hardest Part
February 4, 2010
Feng Zhenghu, a Chinese National, was barred entry to his home country after causing a big stir with the Chinese government. Apparently, his is a well known dissident who has been arrested at least once before (in 2001) for publishing a business directory. On November 4, 2009, he was denied entry to Shanghi and sent back to Tokyo where he had been visiting his sister. Rather than go back and stay with her, he refused to leave the immigration section of the Tokyo airport and he lived there for almost exactly 3 months before China finally relented on February 2nd and allowed him to come home. Unlike a terminal in the airport, this section does not have restaurants and other amenities. Airport employees refused to bring him food but travelers passing through took pity on him and provided him enough nourishment to live on. click here for limerick
