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."[4] Thor Halvorssen of Forbes called it "a provocatively sophisticated compendium of observations of contemporary Chinese authoritarian society".[5] According to Jonathan Mirsky of The New York Times, "Liu demonstrates a considerable amount of anger while retaining his Gandhian nonviolent spirit".[2]
