After a long “vacation” of more than two years, Yang, a 46-year-old associate professor at China Youth University for Political Sciences, is back at his old workplace. But instead of teaching classes as before, Yang took a newly-created position as a full-time researcher in the university’s Law Department. In April 2010, Yang was suspended from his post after his wife gave birth to their second daughter, Yang Ruonan, on December 21, 2009. “It was an unexpected pregnancy, but I just couldn’t give her up in order to respond to China’s family planning policy, as an old saying goes, even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs,” Yang told the Global Times, his voice redolent of his Hunan hometown.
