Description

The prison memoirs of Yang Xiguang, a high school student, who was arrested during the Cultural Revolution for penning a political essay. He spent the next ten years in a succession of Chinese gulags, and relates here the poignant stories of his cellmates - activists, intellectuals, "rightists", thieves, and madmen - as well as his own intellectual and spiritual journey.
