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.

墓碑上篇是解剖一般全面细致的梳理了大饥荒时期各地区骇人听闻的资料，下篇则是剖析惨痛历史背后的原因。自然灾害也好，苏联撕毁合同也好，都不是借口，不能遮掩方式斯大林+秦始皇式的统治下不可避免的政治运动。
一套完整的集权体制，甚至让哪里有压迫哪里就有反抗都没法成真。
哎，书里说袁世凯不是最后一任皇帝，毛才是。我担心毛可能也不是。
