姜维平先生在“万维博客”上的自我介绍：【原香港《文汇报》记者，现在是时事评论员，书法家，多伦多大学梅西学院驻校作家】。 先不说“驻校作家”，从字面上你怎么理解“多伦多大学梅西学院”啊？是不是以为“梅西学院”是多伦多大学的一个学院啊？若你的回答是是，我说：“傻吧你！你被姜记者忽悠啦！”。在详细介绍“梅西学院”前，先看一下“维基百科”是怎样介绍姜维平的吧： Jiang Weiping From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump Jiang Weiping (Chinese: 姜维平 ) is a veteran mainland Chinese journalist known internationally for his arrest by the Communist Party of China in 2001. During his career, he received several awards from local and provincial governments for his journalism and reporting.[1] In 1999, he began publishing a series of articles about the Communist Party corruption in the Hong Kong magazine Frontline (Chinese: 前哨; pinyin: Qian shao).[2] He was subsequently arrested by the Chinese authorities, and sent to 8 years in prison.[3] Career： Jiang was a reporter for Xinhua News Agency in the 1980s.[1] From the early 1990s he was the Northeastern China bureau chief of the pro-Beijing Wen Wei Po newspaper in Hong Kong.[4] In 1999 Jiang began writing a series of articles about the corruption of the Communist party for the Hong Kong magazine Frontline. By 2001 Jiang was a reporter working in mainland China for the Hong Kong magazine.[5] The reports： Shenyang vice Mayor Ma Xiangdong lost nearly 30 million yuan (US $3.6 million) in public funds while gambling in Macau casinos. Daqing vice mayor Qian Dihua was also exposed to have illegally obtaining funds to buy cars and houses for each of his 29 mistresses.[1] Former governor of Liaoning governor Bo Xilai was reported to have covered up some political corruption.[1] Aftermath The reported Ma Xiangdong was later arrested and accused of taking bribes, embezzling public funds, and gambling overseas, as part of the PRC government's anti-corruption campaign.[1] He was convicted and executed in December 2000.[6] Bo Xilai later became the PRC trade minister, and in 2007 he aggressively defended Chinese toy products containing lead that were exported to the United States.[7] The reporter Jiang was detained on January 4, 2001 and subsequently convicted of illegally supplying State secrets and inciting the subversion of state power under the Dalian Intermediate People’s Court on January 21, 2002. He was given a combined sentence of 8 years and deprivation of political rights for 5 years.

He was still determined guilty, and the sentencing were reduced to 6 years and deprivation of political rights for 3 years.[3] Jiang spent 6 years in prison before being released on the 5th year. The sentence was shortened again to expire on January 3, 2007.[8] According to PEN Canada, journalists around the world overwhelmingly voiced their support for Jiang and his principled journalistic work.[9] Jiang is currently living in Toronto and finishing a forthcoming book about his experiences.
