Tyrannies Not Only Want To Control Your

Only When You Are Aware Of The Uniqueness Of Everyones Individual Body Will You Begin To Have A Sense Of Your Own Self-worth.

I Left Beijing In 1987, Shortly Before My Books Were Banned There, But Have Returned Continually.

I Wanted To Analyse And Understand How The Chinese People Could Have Their Lives So Crushed By Fear.

My Hope Is That The Chinese Government Will Come To Realise That It Is Futile To Repress Free Speech, And That Contrary To What They Believe A Regime's Strength Rests Not Its Suppression Of A Plurality Of Opinions And Ideas, But In Its Capacity And Willingness To Encourage Them.

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.
