“Enemy of the State: The complicated life of an idealist” by Jianying Zha New Yorker Magazine, April 23, 2007
This will undoubtedly i.d. me as an internet enemy of the people in China but I thought this article in the April 23rd New Yorker was excellent.
The author is a sister of the subject of the article. She writes a clear-eyed devastating portrait of her half-brother who is due to be released from jail next year. He was jailed for founding the first political party to compete with the Communist party in China.
