In the text, Yuan propagates what he calls the New Heroism ( 新 英雄 主义 , xīn yīngxióngzhǔyì ), which he associates with the belief in the Chinese race . Yuan rejects all individual attempts to gain freedom through political activity, flight or anything else as a betrayal of one's own race. He advocates totalitarianism in order to fuse the weak, ignorant and selfish individuals of a race into a strong whole.
Yuan Hongbing was also a labor rights activist. He took part in a so-called Peace Charter , which was formed on the model of Charter 77 . In 1994 he was detained and forced to leave Beijing. Yuan moved to Guizhou , where he became the dean of the Law Faculty at Guizhou Normal University . In 2004, Yuan traveled to Australia with his assistant Zhao Jing, where the two of them applied for asylum on July 28th.
