"Another of the dissidents spirited out [of China] by Operation Yellowbird was Arthur Liu. Some 35 years later, his daughter would glide across Olympic ice wearing the red, white and blue."

"Media coverage of Alysa Liu’s achievements sometimes notes her father's history as a Tiananmen Square protester who fled China and made a new life in the United States. But the part about Operation Yellowbird remains little-known."
