Chai Ling was one of the most visible organizers in the 1989 protests, serving as 'general commander.' She escaped Beijing's clampdown, fleeing to France and then the United States where she became an Internet entrepreneur. After initially taking a low profile in exile, Chai Ling was baptized last year as she embraced Christianity. She speaks passionately of her faith, saying she has experienced 'amazing transformations' and feels, 'I am home, at last.'
More of her testimony here: Chai Ling had no religious education: "[In China] – she recalls - we were not allowed to believe in God. “God” was deemed by the leaders as the evil things that the capitalists use to brainwash the people. It was a word that was forbidden in our society. As a result, God’s love was scare too. The society was filled with hatred, distrust and fear. "
Aided by her husband, a Protestant Christian, and some friends who work as volunteers against abortion, Chai Ling asked to become a Christian on December 4, 2009. On April 4 she received baptism. Faith in the resurrection of Jesus now makes her feel safer and more certain "of God's victory" in the midst of many tribulations. In her testimony, Chai Ling has words of compassion for the Chinese leaders responsible for the massacre and the current policies.
