Summary:

"When students returned to Beijing Normal University for classes last month, there was a notable absence in the classical Chinese class taught by Shi Jiepeng: Shi himself. University authorities fired the assistant professor in late July, citing a number of offenses, including "expressing views outside the mainstream of society." The charges still puzzle the lanky teacher, as he sits speaking to me in a café just outside the university's main gate."
