Bai Mulin

白沐霖 slender man who was reporter for Great Production News (大生产报) of the Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps until 1975. He had the idea of sending a letter to Beijing authorities protesting against deforestation. However, since his handwriting was unsteady after using a chainsaw, Ye Wenjie wrote the letter for him (copied what Bai had wrote in neater handwriting). However, the letter was not well-received, so Bai chose to sacrifice Ye Wenjie to save his own skin: Bai said it was Ye's idea to write the letter.

After 1975, when the construction corps were disbanded, he was sent to work in the northeast for the Science Association. He then moved to Ottawa, Canada and died of lung cancer.
