YI Fuxian received a Ph.D. in pharmacology from Xiangya School of Medicine of Central South University in 1999. In 2000, Dr. Yi began to rethink China’s population policy. Public opinion was near-unanimously against him but the tide is now clearly turning. Some of his articles have received more than 10 million online hits. Together his articles have sparked a growing trend of anti-population control thought in China. Hundreds of domestic and international media (such as Xinhua News, New York Times, AP, AFP, BBC, FAZ, Kyodo News) have published his articles or interviewed him. He has also published many papers in Internal Reference, think-tank and academic journals emphasizing the urgency of stopping the population control policy. Dr. Yi has also sent brochure to almost all members of the National Parliament and officials above the vice provincial level, and has given nearly a hundred speeches in top universities such as Peking University. Dr. Yi’s book, “Big Country with an Empty Nest,” offers a critical look at China’s family-planning policy. It was published in Hong Kong in 2007 and promptly banned on the Chinese mainland. In 2013, a new edition was released by the China Development Press, a publisher under the Development Research Center of the Chinese State Council. Honors received by the book include: #3 of Top 10 Best Books of March 2013 in China, by Xinhua News; #1 of the Best 100 Books of 2013 in China, by China Publishing Today; One of 87 best books of 2013 in China, by Beijing News.
