Top Chinese intellectual Ran Yunfei, famed for his pro-democracy activism has converted to Christianity, reports say. His wife has been a Christian since the 1980’s but Yunfei says he had “no will to believe”.

A Bible study group has met in Ran Yunfei’s home since 2013, but he only recently became a Christian. A writer, essayist and blogger, Yunfei has previously been named one of China’s ‘One Hundred Public Intellectuals’. After years of distancing himself from faith, he wrote online on October 31: “Today, I decide to follow Jesus”, according to the  China Christian Daily.
