In this experimental insight into China through Chinese eyes, young Chinese break their enforced silence with a devastating frankness that exposes both their profound dissatisfaction with present-day life in China and their hopes and desires for the future. The author of this book was training journalists for the Chinese government at Beijing's New China News Agency before, during and after the events in Tiananmen Square. Later he returned privately to China and, in conditions of secrecy, interviewed at length over 300 young Chinese students, workers, police, soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses and businessmen about their attitudes to communism, sexuality, race, religion, foreigners, population control and the West.
