+ New Weekly: Do Chinese kids know anything about traditonal Chinese culture? (2004.06): Q: Do you know what China's four great inventions are? Paper, printing, the compass and gunpowder 49.3% know all four, 37.3% get one or more wrong, 13.3% don't know at all (2004.06.12) + The horrors of SMS messaging (2007.09): Naraka 19 (地狱第19层), based on the Cai Jun (蔡骏) novel, gets neutered by SARFT. + China's illegal yellow press (2005.05): On the left is the front page of 'Military News', a newspaper without masthead, contact phone number or any kind of publication licence (required by Chinese law). The paper was purchased on the Beijing subway for two yuan, which is relatively expensive, as most of the city's daily newspapers cost only half a yuan.

社会主义好??? 看来又多了一个大唱赞歌的所谓JY。希望单位把你们的注意力多投放在草根阶层,而不是“王小峰”、“木子美”、“洪晃”等JY身上。
支持“苏菲”!!!

支持峰.支持苏菲.这个记者无论从发式还是白色上装,都让我想起PRISONBREAK中的Haywire.
哈哈, Haywire. 没错,是有点像。
too much chest-exposure, Jeremy.
don't forget: you're South African, not European.
Great book. Couldn't put it down. It takes great courage (and a thick face) to share your very personal experiences with the world. Thank you! Thank you!
One big disappointment, though: the book ended far too early. Obviously much happened after your police interrogation in the summer of '89. Obviously you escaped your smotherland. Congratulations for that! But it's also great to have you back, to provoke change, I'm sure.
There are many things that still need to change. The list is long and ugly. But your book gives us hope.
Thank you.
