The staggering story of the most influential Chinese political
dissident of the Mao era, a devout Christian who was imprisoned,
tortured, and executed by the regime Blood Letters tells the
astonishing tale of Lin Zhao, a Chinese poet and journalist
arrested by the regime in 1960 and executed eight years later, at
the height of the Cultural Revolution. Alone among the victims of
Mao's dictatorship, she maintained a stubborn and open opposition
during the years she was imprisoned. She rooted her dissent in her
Christian faith--and expressed it in long, prophetic writings done
in her own blood, and at times on her clothes and on cloth torn
from her bedsheets. Miraculously, Lin Zhao's prison writings
survived, though they have only recently come to light. Drawing on
these works and others from the years before her arrest, as well as
interviews with friends, family, and classmates, Lian Xi paints an
indelible portrait of courage and faith in the face of unrelenting
evil.
