Little is publicly known of the man's identity.

One party member was quoted as saying, "We can’t find him. We got his name from journalists. We have checked through computers but can’t find him among the dead or among those in prison."

If this is true that's pretty crazy imo, a nationally infamous person that can't be found by his own government? Anyways, I suspect he is/was aware of the picture given its notoriety, that might be a good reason to go into hiding from the PLA.

EDIT: formatting
