'One of the greatest escape stories I've ever read' Mail on Sunday
An ordinary man's extraordinary escape from Mao's brutal labour
camps Xu Hongci was an ordinary medical student when he was
incarcerated under Mao's regime and forced to spend years of his
youth in China's most brutal labour camps. Three times he tried to
escape. And three times he failed. But, determined, he eventually
broke free, travelling the length of China, across the Gobi desert,
and into Mongolia. It was one of the greatest prison breaks of all
time, during one of the worst totalitarian tragedies of the 20th
Century. This is the extraordinary memoir of his unrelenting
struggle to retain dignity, integrity and freedom; but also the
untold story of what life was like for ordinary people trapped in
the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.
