If his family ever doubted that he loved them I bet they don't any more.

(AP) BEIJING - A close friend of the blind Chinese legal activist who holed up in the U.S. Embassy to flee persecution said Chen Guangcheng agreed to stay in China only to protect his family after receiving threats that his wife would be beaten to death if he left the country.
Beijing activist Zeng Jinyan told The Associated Press on Wednesday via Skype that Chinese officials forced Chen to choose between going into exile alone or staying in China with his family. After six days in hiding, Chen emerged from the embassy Wednesday after U.S. officials said China had assured his safety.
Zeng said she spoke by phone with Chen and his wife while he was in the hospital. A disappointed-sounding Chen told her that his wife's life had been threatened, she said.
"He said what he wanted was totally different but because no one can protect his wife and children" he had to accept, Zeng said via Skype.
