On 22 June 2011, the Chinese authorities released Ai from jail after almost three months' detention on charges of tax evasion. Returning home he was a lot different looking, he was a lot thinner and quieter man. State media also reports that Ai was granted bail on account of Ai's "good attitude in confessing his crimes", willingness to pay back taxes, and his chronic illnesses. One of the agreements upon release was that Ai was not able to leave China for a year. Which really hurts him and how he does a lot of business across the country. Ai's supporters widely viewed his detention as retaliation for his vocal criticism of the government. On 23 June 2011, professor Wang Yujin of China University of Political Science and Law stated that the release of Ai on bail shows that the Chinese government could not find any solid evidence of Ai's alleged "economic crime". Being such a worldwide influencer you could tell how many people were happy when he was released.
