Yi Gu (Chinese: 古懿), is a Chinese student dissident and human rights activist. He was questioned and warned for discussing with Ilham Toxti and other Uyghur dissidents and criticizing China's oppressive policies in Xinjiang in 2009. 

After that, he studied abroad in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Currently he is in a Bachelor's degree at Queensland University of Technology. He is well known for getting involved in organising supportive activities for Hong Kong Umbrella Movement and meeting the 14th Dalai Lama in Brisbane in spite of pressure from the Communist Party of China.

Early life in China

Zhang was born in People's Republic of China. Like many Chinese in pre-modern China, Zhang had many names. His birth name was Zhang Shang, and his English name was Tony. His courtesy name was Shuren or Shu-jen (Wade-Giles). He used Shujen Chang as his alias according to his courtesy name in Wade-Giles.

When Zhang was in the age of 14, he was arrested and persecuted by Chinese government because of striving for democracy and spreading democratic values to classmates. Then he chose to study at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Political activities in Australia

On 22 September 2014, when 2014 Hong Kong class boycott campaign began, with his Hong Kong schoolmates and lecturer in Queensland University of Technology, Zhang, who had already been studying there, started to distribute yellow ribbons and flyers to support. After the violent oppression by Hong Kong police force's tear gas, Zhang participated in the rally in Brisbane's CBD on 1 October and made a speech, appealing to Hong Kong not to fall into the enemy hands, not to be occupied by the Communist Party of China, and not to be assimilated by Mainland China. When interviewed by New Tang Dynasty Television, Zhang, using his pseudonym Shujen Chang, indicated that he hoped more Chinese oversea students could stop being silent, stop conniving at the atrocity of Communist Party of China, and stand out to express themselves like himself.

Early in November 2014, prior to the G20 Brisbane summit, Zhang, with two Hong Kong schoolmates Alvin Cheng and Nardo Wai, started to organise a rally outside the summit venue to support Hong Kong Umbrella Movement, appealing for attention of the situation in Hong Kong from the international community.

On 13 October 2014, Zhang and Nardo went in advance on a hunger strike, and unfurled a banner with "Support HK Umbrella Revolution" outside the hotel in which Chinese President Xi Jinping was scheduled to stay. After unfurling the banner for "just ten seconds", they received exclusion notices by Australian police officers to ban them from the G20 security zones, virtually Brisbane's entire CBD, in the following 3 days. After that, they were interviewed by the journalists from Daily Mail, who questioned Australia about losing its democracy. This news report was then republished by numerous Chinese media such as Apple Daily in Hong Kong and Liberty Times in Taiwan, attracting widespread attention. On the next day, Australian police forces removed the exclusion notices from them.

On 15 November 2014, Zhang participated the rally of Tibetan groups at the G20 Brisbane summit. He made a speech to ask more Chinese people to pay attention to the situation in Tibet and indicated that he had attended supportive activities for Hong Kong Umbrella Movement, believing that "the Chinese Communist Party is nibbling away the democracy in Hong Kong", "making Hong Kong step into the shoes of Tibet".

On 16 November 2014, Zhang, Alvin and Nardo formally started their 4-hour rally in support for the Umbrella Movement on the lawn near the South Bank Parkland Suncorp Piazza outside the G20 summit venue. Numerous oversea students from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China participated in the rally. When interviewed by TVB, Zhang indicated that he wish democratic movements in Hong Kong could eventually bring democracy to Mainland China.

From 28 to 30 March 2015, during the China Democracy Process Conference in Sydney, Zhang, using his pseudonym Shujen Chang, made a speech "From Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan to Occupy Central in Hong Kong: youth power on democratic movements" based on his experience of participating activities related to the Umbrella Movement.

On 12 June 2015, when the 14th Dalai Lama was having the public talk "Wisdom of Compassion" in Brisbane, Zhang organised a meeting of the 14th Dalai Lama and Chinese oversea students. He then wrote an article to state his thoughts after the meeting, and mentioned that before the meeting his family members were harassed by people from Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China. The article then has been widely republished in social media.

On 16 June 2015, when interviewed by Voice of Tibet, Zhang stressed that the meeting between His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and Chinese oversea students proved that the aim of the Communist Party of China to bring the overseas students into the united front had failed. After that, media covered his brave meeting with the 14th Dalai Lama in spite of the pressure from the Communist Party of China harassments to his family members.
