"Detained Australian Journalist's Heartfelt 'Love Letter' from China"

Australian journalist Cheng Lei, who has been detained in China since August 2020 on national security charges, has written a "love letter" to her home country, describing her conditions in prison. Cheng reveals that she is only able to stand in sunlight for 10 hours a year and hasn't seen a tree in three years. She reminisces about her life in Australia and expresses her longing for her children. Cheng's partner and the Australian government have called for her release, and there is hope that her case will be resolved as China lifts sanctions on Australian barley and diplomatic relations improve.
