He also featured prominently in Shen Tong's book Almost a Revolution. Wang was interviewed and appeared in the documentary The Beijing Crackdown and the movie Moving the Mountain, about the Tiananmen Square protests. He is currently the chairman of the Chinese Constitutional Reform Association. He also performed research on the development of democracy in Taiwan at Oxford University in 2009. Wang resumed his university studies, starting school at Harvard University in 1998 and completing his master's in East Asian history in 2001 and a Ph.D. However he was released early and exiled to the United States of America (see below).
After being released on parole in 1993, he continued to write publicly (to publications outside of mainland China) and was re-arrested in 1995 for conspiring to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party and was sentenced in 1996 to 11 years. Wang went into hiding but was arrested on July 2 the same year, and sentenced to four years imprisonment in 1991. As a result, after the Tiananmen Square protests, he immediately became the "most wanted" on the list of 21 fugitives issued. When he participated in the student movement that led to the 1989 peaceful protest, he joined the movement's organizing body as the representative from Peking University. He was a politically active student at the Peking University department of history, organizing "Democracy Salons" at his school.
