From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perry Link is a Sinologist at Princeton University, and author specializing in modern Chinese literature and Chinese language. Dr. Link is a Harvard University alumnus who received his B.A. in 1966 and his Ph.D. in 1976. Dr. Link has repeatedly taught Mandarin Chinese courses at Princeton and has translated many Chinese stories, writings and poems into English. Along with Andrew J. Nathan, Link translated the Tiananmen Papers, which detailed the governmental response to the 1989 democracy protests. In 1996, China blacklisted Link, and he has been denied entrance ever since. In 2001, Link was detained and questioned upon arriving in Hong Kong because of his involvement in the Tiananmen Papers, after roughly one hour was allowed to freely enter Hong Kong where he spoke at the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club.
