Wang Zhongling 王中陵

Status: Canonical people profile; source enrichment continues.

Wang Zhongling (王中陵) is a Shaanxi teacher, poet/editor and participant in democracy and civic-rights initiatives, associated in controlled sources with Yanta zhi Sheng, June Fourth memorial statements and Charter 08.

Public role

Teacher; poet/editor; democracy and civic-rights advocate.

Custody record

The current controlled record does not establish a custodial sentence. FreeChina therefore makes no prison-history or release-date inference from repression directed at the wider Xi’an dissident community.

Evidence status

The controlled baseline includes Beijing Spring, Human Rights in China, NTDTV, ChinaAid, Independent Chinese PEN and an archival diary held by the Hoover Institution. Original signed petitions/statements and security-police records remain enrichment targets.

Last controlled research verification: September 9, 2026.
