From Billionaire to Prisoner: A Chinese Entrepreneur’s Life-or-Death Choice｜Persecuted by the CCP, Family Torn Apart｜How He F

Hou Shijun, once a billionaire private entrepreneur from Qingdao, China, refused to submit to extortion by Chinese Communist Party officials. As a result, he was falsely imprisoned for three years and later subjected to over a decade of constant surveillance and loss of personal freedom.

Under unbearable political pressure, even his wife and child were forced to distance themselves from him—his family torn apart not by choice, but by fear.

In 2025, Hou Shijun risked everything to escape to Canada. In this exclusive interview, he shares his full story for the first time: how he endured persecution, personal loss, and total collapse—yet never gave up on his belief in democracy and freedom.

His journey is not just a personal tragedy, but a powerful reflection of the cost of conscience under authoritarian rule.
