This is a truly insightful work by one of the former student leaders of the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations, which later escalated into the massacre carried out by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The CPC’s authoritarian rule and state establishment of the People’s Republic of China has now lasted for 76 years.
Although the global image of China is often dominated by narratives of rapid economic growth and the promotion of refined traditional culture, its historical and contemporary record tells a different story. The CPC has overseen campaigns such as the Cultural Revolution — which inflicted widespread persecution and humiliation on intellectuals and other groups — and the Great Leap Forward, whose catastrophic policies precipitated mass famine; state policies toward some ethnic minorities have at times involved coercive assimilation and violence. Given China’s vast population and social heterogeneity, many individuals — including residents of China — hold and express perspectives that diverge markedly from the prevailing international perception. It is precisely this façade that the book seeks to unveil.
The author provides valuable insights drawn from research, observation, and personal experience, offering an indispensable resource for those studying China. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the country or wishing to learn about totalitarianism from the inside of one of its enduring examples.
