悲怆的灵魂

Mr. Zhang Lin is a Chinese democracy activist and writer. Over the past twenty years, he has suffered greatly working to realize his dream of a democratic China. The Chinese Communist Party jailed him three times, imprisoning him for a total of eight years. Although his life has been at risk and his family has been broken up, Zhang has persisted in his cause. On January 29, 2005, on his way to mourn Zhao Ziyang, Chinese authorities arrested him and jailed him on fabricated charges. He remains in prison. Zhang put his heart and soul into writing this book during the chilly winter of 2003. Based on his experience with the democratic movement and being imprisoned, Zhang analyzes the relationships among modern Chinese people, concluding that under the CCP's rule, China has basically become a society of slaves.
