Reception

PD Smith of The Guardian wrote: "Liu's essays and poems speak eloquently of his fearless commitment to defending human dignity, as well as his insight into China's history and culture." Thor Halvorssen of Forbes called it "a provocatively sophisticated compendium of observations of contemporary Chinese authoritarian society". According to Jonathan Mirsky of The New York Times, "Liu demonstrates a considerable amount of anger while retaining his Gandhian nonviolent spirit".
