Only When You Are Aware Of The

I Meant That The Chinese People Are Not Aware Of Their Own Entrapment. They Believe They Live In A Free Society, But Don't Realize How Much They Are Being Monitored And Controlled, How Much The Information They Receive Is Restricted And Warped, Until They Step Out Of Line, That Is, And Feel The Heavy Hand Of The State Fall On Them.

China Is Completely Lacking In Self-awareness And As Someone Who Has Stepped Outside That Society, I Have A Responsibility To Write About It As I See It.

The Chinese People Have Been Forced To Forget The Tiananmen Massacre. There Has Been No Public Debate About The Event, No Official Apology. The Media Aren't Allowed To Mention It. Still Today People Are Being Persecuted And Imprisoned For Disseminating Information About It.

I Believe That The Power Of Literature Is Stronger Than The Power Of Tyranny.

When History Is Erased, People's Moral Values Are Also Erased.
