Produktbeschreibungen

From Library Journal

In the spring of 1989 Shen was an undergraduate at Peking University, a dutiful son, proud native of Beijing, romantic poet--and leader of the student movement that was "almost a revolution." Like Liang Heng and Judith Shapiro's Son of the Revolution ( LJ 2/15/83), his account combines shrewd family portraiture with insightful eyewitness history. The memoir does not provide a balanced overview analyzing the dilemmas of stymied reform and stultifying political structure, but it does give a vivid insider's view of the chaos, optimism, egotism, and promise of the student movement in the months before the Tiananmen massacre. The account implies that better student strategy would have averted the tragedy, which neither responsible young leaders like Shen nor government reformers wanted. This deserves a wide readership.

From School Library Journal

YA-- An autobiography of a youth's journey to adulthood amid the tumultuous events in his country culminating in the Democracy movement in 1989. Its protagonist, Shen Tong, went to Beijing University where he became a leader of the "Dialogue Delegation" movement and found himself in the heart of the revolutionary maelstrom. The second half of the book is a day-by-day recounting of the events in which Shen and his fellow student revolutionaries participated from mid-April through late May of 1989, ending in the ultimately bloody events in Tiananmen Square--after which Tong slipped out of China and made his way to the United States. YAs will easily identify with this young man who finds his society out of joint and tries to change it. His reactions to what happened provide valuable insights to students of modern Chinese, Asian, or world history; current affairs; political science; and sociology.

I found this book very informative about the events leading up to the Tiananmen Square occupation by the students and workers in June of 1989. Since traveling for one month in China this past year, I have been reading alot of personal accounts on China by people who have escaped or left the country. This was a nice change; a book speaking of the efforts by the citizens to change the way things are there and by peaceful means. This book really makes one appreciate the freedoms and democracy that we take for granted in this country.

This is not Frontline 21. April 2006
Von Mizrahithewriter - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I just watched the recent Frontline about Tank Man, the man who bravely defied the line of tanks in Beijing, and went to Amazon to find books about the subject. Up came this book, among others, and I remember almost throwing it across the room over ten years ago when I read it. You have a guy who escaped, knew a few people involved, and whose only personal involvement is from the outside. He had no balls, and never dared risk himself. Sure, he knows the figureheads, the history, and can write about what happened as if was there. But he was hiding in his room, making himself out to be a hero. If you want to read a book with the only suspense being whether to finish it or not, then this is the one.

Not Quite A Good Book 6. Januar 2008
Von Amazon's Lowest Rated Reviewer - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I read this book because I was very interested in the topic and event surrounding Tiananmen. I wanted to get an inside view, and in many ways did from the author. But this was more of a memoir with the democracy build up as a background. The author even talks about his first kiss in his hometown. And when he goes to university the protests are all around him, and he has friends who are putting themselves on the line, and he cares, but basically he is a distant observer. All in all, a thorough disappointment.
