Sun Bo - former Chinese Diplomat 

to Kuwait - 1990-1991

"My name is Bo Sun, and I was a Chinese Diplomat in Kuwait

during the Gulf War  (1990-1991). After the Gulf War, I returned

to my hometown to teach in the English Department in

China's Yantai University."

 

April 19th, 20th, 21st, 2003: A Chinese Camera crew came to shoot

myself as part of a duel documentary. Sun Bo would be filmed

in China, and I here in Virginia. Both are sick from our time in

the Persian Gulf in 1990-1991. This would be the last I hear from

these people.

 

November 18th, 2004: Sun Bo and I finally met in Washington DC.

He tells me his personal story, or lets just say as much as can

be covered in the few hours we talked. It didn't occur to me that

he was held by Iraqi troops in the occupation of Iraq, or that his

story would be of such tremendous difficulties so similar to mine.

Only that he was there a full year, and out in the thick of it. That

his illness would consume his life, and drive him to push so hard

for answers as to how he became so ill.

 

Since this is early in the story of our meeting, this page will be

updated as there is more details to work with. For now, dialogue

is ongoing as we try to set him up with American Doctors to give

him a workup. There is work to convince the Chinese Embassy

to allow him back for more medical test, and also talk with American

Gulf War medical researchers of his parallel conditions.
