review 1: This was an incredible book! I found the book inspiring, humbling and startling. We should all fight for our freedom as well as those who do not have freedom. Chai shares her life story from a small village to a wanted woman. She believes in Jesus and shares with us that Jesus will never leave us or forsake us even during the hard times.We all take our freedom for granted and don't realize what we have till it is taken away. I vividly remember Tienanmen Square and the protests and hunger strikes. Chai Ling did an incredible job describing what it was like to be a student leader during the protests.Chai also touched on the subject of abortion. China's law only allows one child per family resulting in many abortions. I found it sad that she had four abortions and that her fa... morether took her for the first one.
review 2: Before reading this book, Tiananmen Square was a familiar place to me but only in the back of my mind as in... "I've heard that name before but can't place it." The uprising occurred in my lifetime but I was only seven and not yet paying attention to foreign events. This book filled in a lot of the gaps in my understanding. It was well-written and enlightening. The story is tragic and I found myself futilely wishing there was a way for people to be heard without violence. less
