Man who spent 3 months in Tokyo airport to leave

NARITA, Japan – A Chinese activist who has spent more than three months living inside Tokyo's international airport said Tuesday that Chinese officials have given him permission to return home.

Feng Zhenghu has been camping out at Narita International Airport since early November to protest China's refusal to let him enter his homeland. Feng had angered the Chinese government with writings on alleged wrongdoing by local authorities and for supporting student protests.

Feng had already announced Sunday that he had decided to end his protest after meeting with officials from the Chinese Embassy last week. But it wasn't clear until Tuesday whether China would allow him to re-enter the country — he had been denied entry eight times since June, prompting his protest.

Despite holding a valid Chinese passport and a visa to enter Japan, Feng refused to pass immigration control as a protest against China's government. He used a laptop and mobile phone to talk to supporters and post on blogs and social networking sites such as Twitter.

Staying in a restricted area near immigration control, Feng had no access to vending machines or a food court and survived on food and clothes provided by tourists passing by. He used a sink inside a restroom to wash himself. He said he is going to miss the place after 90 days of living there. But he is happy to go home and take a bath as soon as he leave the place.

Ang gripe niya is against Chinese authorities pero nag over stay siya sa Japan. It does not make sense unless the Japanese authorities are sympathetic to his cause. In that case he should have been billeted in a more comfortable quarter with access to basic necessities. The story just does not make much sense. O ako lang ang magulo, ha Shy? Hehehe, lol. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
