Yan Zhen Jing Han Kebin Wang

As one of the intellectuals educated in communist China, the author was lucky to be able to study in the United States. And thus he had an opportunity to compare the difference between the two systems. Gradually he revised his views on dictatorship from directly personal feeling. After retirement, he spent plenty time in writing political essays and comments on current affairs of China. In the first article, he discussed the importance of free speech. Following that, he touched upon a series of political issues, such as human rights, showing the sword and self-concealing, the path to democracy, the historical roots of the cultural revolution, as well as the gains and losses of the unity of a large country. These articles are based on independent thought, some of them have been discussed by friends. The book would also raise some open questions about the present status and its future of China. However, no matter how hard it is, democracy and freedom will come true eventually.
