In contrast to many exiles living in a new land who lose touch with their roots and their mother tongue, Wang Dan is in exactly the opposite situation. The open US media provides him with a steady and diversified supply of information about his homeland, while the concern and affection with which he is treated by people from Taiwan and Hong Kong offer him broad opportunities for self-expression.
相對於許多流亡者旅居異國的逐漸失根、失語，王丹所面臨的情況顯然相反，美國開放的媒體環境賦予他更豐富、多元的祖國資訊，台灣與香港人對他的親切與熱愛，也提供他寬廣的言論發表管道。
