About the author

Yang Jisheng (Chinese: 杨继绳, born November 1940) is a Chinese journalist and author. His work include Tombstone (墓碑), a comprehensive account of the Great Chinese Famine during the Great Leap Forward, and The World Turned Upside Down (天地翻覆), a history of the Cultural Revolution. Yang joined the Communist Party in 1964 and graduated from Tsinghua University in 1966. He promptly joined Xinhua News Agency, where he worked until his retirement in 2001. His loyalty to the party was destroyed by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

Although Yang continued working for the Xinhua News Agency, he spent much of his time researching for Tombstone. As of 2008, he was the deputy editor of the journal China Through the Ages (炎黄春秋), an official journal that regularly skirts censorship with articles on controversial political topics. A leading liberal voice, he published the Chinese version of Tombstone in Hong Kong in May 2008. Yang is also listed as a Fellow of China Media Project, a department under Hong Kong University. He lives in Beijing with his wife and two children.

Reviews

[IJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

各个Group看起来路线的分歧不算小，但仍有语焉不详之处。 参考文献可以收集供查阅，史料不错。 一些“潜规则”值得记录。Stalin(or M)+Emperor of Qin 的路径依赖如此深厚，“可能性”越了解越觉得腾挪空间狭小。 邦是老人、权谋、争论的牺牲品，他看起来很接近于韦伯定义的政治家——热情、责任感、判断力。无法控制地在感情上欣赏和理解他。
