Nacido en
China durante la implacable Revolución Cultural de
Mao Zedong en los años 60. Y la experimentó a fondo.
Estuvo internado en un colegio chino, donde aprendió a dominar el mandarín, vivió en el Hotel de la Amistad de Pekín junto a decenas de revolucionarios internacionales,
hizo parte del comando estudiantil revolucionario de los Guardia Rojos, que luchaba contra el capitalismo, y trabajó en una fábrica de relojes suizos y en una comuna campesina recolectando coles.
Luego, en los 70, fue
soldado del Ejército Popular de Liberación (EPL), una guerrilla colombiana que en principio seguía los principios maoístas.

The birth limit was unpopular at first.
“Back then, we wanted to have more children,” said a bereaved mother who was in her 60s when I interviewed her in 2017. “My parents had an even harder time accepting that we were allowed to have only one child.”
To enforce the unpopular one-child policy, the Chinese authorities designed strict measures, including mandatory contraception and, if all else failed, forced abortion.
Those who violated the policy paid a financial penalty, and children from unauthorized births often could not be registered for citizenship status and benefits. Parents who worked for the government – and under China’s economic system, many urban workers did – risked losing their job if they had more than one child.
