白蛇
《白蛇》故事主要内容是，在全国十七个大城市的巡回演出引起极大轰动。她为了观察模仿蛇之动态，曾与一位印度驯蛇艺人交谈并饲养蛇类；所独创的“蛇步”引起舞蹈学者的极大重视，也在广大观众中风靡一时。一九六六年，孙丽坤被革命群众冲击。根据各方面调查和孙本人长达四百余页的反省书，孙于一九六九年被定案为资产阶级腐朽分子、国际特务嫌疑、反革命美女蛇，同时被正式关押审查（孙被关押在省歌舞剧院的一间布景仓库，生活待遇并不十分苛刻）。
一九六九年之后，孙的案情被多次复审，革命群众专政机构并没有对孙有任何粗暴行为，自清理阶级队伍以来，对于孙的人身自由之剥夺，是革命群众一致通过的措施。此中当然不乏群众运动的过激行为和领导班子的失控。根据孙丽坤专案人员揭发，孙的精神失常始于七一年十二月，在此之前，看守人员常见一个二十多岁的男青年进入孙的拘留室，并持有一份“中央宣传部特别专案组”的介绍信，自称为特派员，专程来调查孙的案情。该青年气势凌人，身着将校呢军大衣，看去颇有来头。此人每天下午三点准时进入孙的房间，五点时离开，如此持续一个月。据看守人员说，此期间并无任何异常迹象。青年态度冷静，有礼有节，孙本人的作风也有所改善。有人听见她半夜摸黑进行舞蹈练习，精神面貌大有转变。据说青年在某天驾一辆军用三轮摩托，要求带走孙丽坤到省委某接待室进一步谈话。他拒绝透露谈话的目的，声称连省里最高领导也无权过问此案。由于他持有的介绍信和证件确凿，专政队同意放行孙丽坤，但时限为六小时。男青年于当晚十点准时将孙丽坤送回拘留室。几天后，孙突然精神失常。男青年从此不再出现。孙于新年除夕傍晚被送往省人民医院精神病科。第二周孙被转入C 市歌乐医院，该院为省内最权威的精神专科研究机构。经治疗，孙的病情已逐步稳定。我们向医院工作人员调查，据说曾有一位男青年来探望孙丽坤，但孙拒绝见面。有关此青年以及孙的患病原因，我们正在进一步调查。

The author got banned in China but I really like her work. Her way of words made me appreciate the beauty of tragedy. Here is to her.

November 30, 2025经推荐读了《白麻雀》这篇。能读到一点点女性视角，整体报告文学的意味较浓，且以汉人视角写藏人女性多少带点猎奇的味道了，很难喜欢上。
