This is gonna be a fun read. Read the first chapter, 人民= Rénmín=the people. Describes the evolution of the the word’s meaning in the author’s head. During the cultural revolution the people = Mao, and the reverse was also true.

By the end of the chapter the people was the body heat of “the masses” stationed at the Hujialou intersection in Beijing, in May 1989. 10k were gathered to stop troops from proceeding to Tianamen square. It was same at every other intersection in Beijing! Has this been published in Beijing? Forbidden knowledge!
Glanced ahead at other words. Can’t wait to get to Bamboozeled. A very American meaning
