"During Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s, [Fang Lizhi] was persecuted and confined in a reeducation camp at a coal mine in southern Anhui province. It was this treatment that led him to specialize in theoretical astrophysics, which he later told me was 'the only field of physics I could pursue without equipment.'"
