Chen Guangcheng, 40, is now a name known around the world. The Chinese legal activist escaped illegal house arrest in eastern Shandong province by climbing over walls and walking for some 19 hours. He is blind.
News broke on April 27 that the famous blind activist had amazingly escaped his captors on his own on April 22 and eventually made his way to the US embassy in Beijing with some help from friends.
American comedian Stephen Colbert had this to say of the miraculous escape: "Apparently losing your sight doesn't only make your hearing better, it makes your balls bigger."
