  TO SETTLE IN BRITAIN          
                                        
 Dissident scientist Fang Lizhi, who has
 been sheltering in the US embassy in   
 Beijing since last June, has left China
 for a new life in Britain.             
                                        
 Mr Fang, 54, and his wife Li Shuxian   
 were allowed to go abroad for medical  
 treatment after showing "signs of      
 repentance", according to officials.   
                                        
 They wrote letters saying they violated
 China's constitution and Fang vowed not
 to take part in opposition activity.   
                                        
 Astrophysicist Mr Fang was invited to  
 Britain by the Royal Society, the      
 scientific and academic organisation.
