Feng Zhenghu (born 1 July 1954) is a Chinese economist and scholar based in Shanghai. Citing Amnesty International, The Guardian said that Feng was "a prominent human rights defender" in Mainland China. In 2001 he was sent to prison for three years ostensibly for "illegal business activity". He was released in 2004 and has since written critical pieces highlighting alleged malpractice by local governments and forced evictions. [1]
Outside Mainland China,Feng is best known for having been refused re-entry into Mainland China eight times in 2009,despite being a Chinese citizen. He protested and remained in the immigration hall of Narita International Airport for 92 days,attracted concern from Asian activists,and received worldwide media attention. [1]
Feng was born in Wenzhou,Zhejiang. He started his business in the 1980s and later founded the Institute of China Business Development. He lives in Shanghai and has a sister who lives in Japan with her Japanese husband. [1]
He criticized the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army for suppressing the democratization of the Chinese society. He later went to study in Japan and returned to Mainland China,and was imprisoned in 2001 for "illegal business activities". [2]
Since 2007 Feng edited "Supervision Bulletin" a 1000-copy circulation monthly newsletter reporting on cases of social injustices and official breaches of the law,such as studies of ordinary folk who had had their property seized or had rights violated by the authorities. [3] Feng also edited four volumes of I want to post a suit:Casebook of the non-action of the Shanghai Judicial Authority,which contain 430 case studies of violations of citizens' civil rights have been violated and how their rights of appeal have been infringed. [3]
In early 2009,Feng was inexplicably detained for 41 days; [4] he left Mainland China for medical treatment in Japan soon afterwards –in April 2009. [5] On attempting to return home in June,he was refused entry by the authorities. According to Feng's sister,airlines prevented him from boarding a Mainland China-bound flight four times;on the four occasions he succeeded in boarding a plane,Chinese authorities at Shanghai turned him away. A Japanese immigration official said Feng arrived from Shanghai on November 4 with a valid Chinese passport and a visa to enter Japan –but has refused to enter Japan,opting instead to attempt return to Mainland China. [1] He spent his time on a couch near an immigration checkpoint in the south wing of Terminal 1 of Narita Airport,subsisting on snacks given to him by travellers and activists (including Hong Kong activist Christina Chan). [6] He has been likened to the Tom Hanks character in Steven Spielberg's 2004 film The Terminal , [6] [7] and has watched the film on DVD. From December 3,2009,the airport authorities issued daily notices to Mr. Feng,requesting him to leave the arrival zone and be admitted into Japan. [8] [9] [10] Finally,after several visits by Chinese diplomats from Tokyo,Feng announced on February 2,2010 that he was going to enter Japan on the next day in anticipation of being allowed to return to Shanghai by mid February. [11]
On February 8,2010,Feng publicly announced his plan to return to Shanghai. On February 12,2010,two days ahead of Chinese New Year,he successfully entered Mainland China after arriving on a flight from Narita to Shanghai. [12] Afterwards,he stayed in his Shanghai apartment under guarded house arrest. [13] [14] The Guardian reported in June 2010 that he remained under house arrest. [14] Feng's house was raided more than 10 times since his return from enforced exile,he had telephones and 13 computers seized,and has alleged having been physically assaulted and suffers from consequential knee and spine injuries as he has been denied medical treatment.

The Shanghai Ghetto, formally known as the Restricted Sector for Stateless Refugees, was an area of approximately one square mile (2.6 km2) in the Hongkou district of Japanese-occupied Shanghai. The area included the community around the Ohel Moshe Synagogue. Shanghai was notable for a long period as the only place in the world that unconditionally offered refuge for Jews escaping from the Nazis. After the Japanese occupied all of Shanghai in 1941, the Japanese army forced about 23,000 of the city's Jewish refugees to be restricted or relocated to the Shanghai Ghetto from 1941 to 1945 by the Proclamation Concerning Restriction of Residence and Business of Stateless Refugees. It was one of the poorest and most crowded areas of the city. Local Jewish families and American Jewish charities aided them with shelter, food, and clothing. The Japanese authorities increasingly stepped up restrictions, surrounded the ghetto with barbed wire, and the local Chinese residents, whose living conditions were often as bad, did not leave. By 21 August 1941, the Japanese government closed Shanghai to Jewish immigration.
