Chinese dissident Bob Fu has been named Midland, Texas 2012 Person of the Year.  The Midland Reporter-Telegram recognized Fu and his organization, ChinaAid, for their tireless work to promote religious freedom and human rights in China.  While Fu has endeavored to end persecution in China for a decade; it was his advocacy for prominent activist Chen Guangcheng that placed ChinaAid’s contributions in the national spotlight.  Fu’s efforts have helped hundreds of dissidents like Chen to receive financial aid, legal assistance, encouragement, and escape from China.  Moreover, Fu raises global awareness about the hardships being endured by Chinese dissidents.  His relentless pursuit of freedom and indomitable compassion make Bob Fu an exceptional choice for Midland’s Person of the Year.
