The principal force in awakening the people and setting them on the
road to struggle, Liu Binyan argues, has been the repeated mistakes
of the Chinese Communist Party and the outrageous bureaucratic
corruption it has allowed to flourish. Even as he describes the
runaway inflation that inflicts unfathomable hardship on all but
the elite party officials, the increasing isolation and hypocrisy
of the Communist leadership, or the political persecution of
intellectuals and the press, Liu's message is one of hope. This
book-written in one man's eloquent voice-is testimony to his belief
that the need for democratic reform has taken root among the
Chinese people and that they will ultimately take steps to
transform their nation.
