Michael, a Canadian man who worked for the government, was locked up in China for a really long time, over 1,000 days!
He was kept all alone in a tiny room for months, and people would ask him lots of questions for hours every day.
Michael said it felt like he was being punished in a way that made him feel really bad.
Sadly, he missed seeing his baby girl grow up, and he only got to meet her when she was a little older.
