However, there is a group of \"underground historians\" who are not afraid of power and danger.\u003cbr\u003e Striving to piece together the story covered up by the CCP, we must spread the spark of \"freedom\"...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ★These stories explain why Xi Jinping wants to control history. -- Yuan Li ★We wouldn't have known these stories otherwise. -- Zhang Jieping ★They need to unite and expose the lies that the dictatorship relies on. -- Cui Weiping\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn traditional China, the interpretation of history was a battleground, crucial to the legitimacy of power. New dynasties would revise the history of the previous dynasty to prove their right to rule by claiming the \"Mandate of Heaven.\" In contemporary China, the Chinese Communist Party, inheriting the \"virtues\" of its ancestors, is willing to distort history, whitewash mistakes, and conceal facts to embellish its rule in order to consolidate its power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, a magazine called \"Spark,\" born in a labor camp in rural northwest China in 1960, changed all that. At the time, China was ravaged by a famine caused by human negligence, with tens of millions dying across the country, yet the news remained largely unknown. Among the few who knew, a group of university students sent to the countryside became part of the group. With knowledge in their heads, pens in their hands, and a deep sense of vengeance in their hearts, they founded \"Spark.\" The inaugural issue contained only eight pages, devoid of photos or illustrations, yet every word expressed their indignation and anger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Why did the once progressive Communist Party become so corrupt and reactionary after less than a decade in power?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"When millions and tens of millions of farmers died of hunger in their beds, on trains, on the railways, at the bottom of ditches...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist regime would not tolerate such rebellious behavior. The young people who founded Spark received prison sentences ranging from ten to fifteen years, and some were even brutally executed. Ultimately, Spark magazine only produced a print run of thirty-odd copies. Like a fleeting spark, it posed no threat to the regime, and this episode in history was hushed up and rewritten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e More than fifty years later, a group of independent Chinese journalists, writers, and directors stumbled upon the story of \"Spark,\" finding witnesses and survivors of the incident. These self-proclaimed \"underground historians\" not only unearthed \"Spark's\" story but also sought to challenge the official historical narrative of the Anti-Rightist Movement, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the SARS epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic, uncovering the truth beneath the Chinese Communist regime's lies.

On the other side, faces on the screen are framed in green or yellow. Next to the frame are basic information about the person.

Furthermore, technology imported from Seattle and Silicon Valley has become a core component of state surveillance. Furthermore, the global counterterrorism narrative since 9\/11 has also served to justify China's repression of Islam. Despite the government's claims of treating all ethnic groups equally, visiting a mosque more than 200 times constitutes a \"predatory criminal,\" gradually depriving Muslims of their collective freedom to practice their religion and culture.

The book's diverse interviewees include former detainees, Hui American university students, Kazakh farmers, truck drivers, auxiliary police officers who assisted in arrests, and teachers forced to \"teach\" in the camps.

This book is shocking and deeply tragic, yet it also presents the victims with empathy and nuance. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the struggle for racial justice around the world.

The past is a battleground in many countries, but in China it is crucial to political power. In traditional China, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss, describing history as an unstoppable force heading toward Communism’s triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and glorify its rule. Indeed, one of Xi Jinping’s signature policies is the control of history, which he equates with the party’s survival. But in recent years, a network of independent writers, artists, and filmmakers have begun challenging this state-led disremembering. Using digital technologies to bypass China’s legendary surveillance state, their samizdat journals, guerilla media posts, and underground films document a regular pattern of disasters: from famines and purges of years past to ethnic clashes and virus outbreaks of the present--powerful and inspiring accounts that have underpinned recent protests in China against Xi Jinping’s strongman rule. Based on years of first-hand research in Xi Jinping’s China, Sparks challenges stereotypes of a China where the state has quashed all free thought, revealing instead a country engaged in one of humanity’s great struggles of memory against forgetting--a battle that will shape the China that emerges in the mid-21st century.","brand":"Oxford University Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"英文\/English \/ 其它\/Other","offer_id":46905507086575,"sku":"9780197575505","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/61OTT8qjTqL._SL1500.jpg?v=1775187946"},{"product_id":"eatthebuddha-9780812988116","title":"Eat the Buddha","description":"Barbara Demick is the author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award and the winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize in the United Kingdom, and Logavina Street: Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighborhood.

They knew they were desecrating the sacred beliefs of Tibetans, but they didn't care.\u003cbr\u003eSince then, every decade or so, Ngaba has seen fierce anti-government protests,\u003cbr\u003eand the wave of self-immolations completely shattered the CCP's claim that Tibetans were happy under Chinese rule.\u003cbr\u003eThis place has become a thorn in the authorities' side…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e※This book was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction and named one of the best books of the year by The New York Times!\u003cbr\u003eThe Washington Post, The Economist, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, Outside, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, NPR… all praise it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e※Tashi Tsering, President of the Tibet Taiwan Human Rights Connection | Li Peng-hsuan, Tibet and Tibetan activist | Freddy Lim, Legislator and lead singer of Chthonic | Yeh Hao, Associate Professor of Political Science at National Chengchi University | Yen Che-ya, Author and publisher | Lan Hsian, Veteran media personality and host of Zhongguang Lan Hsian Time… all highly recommend it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe situation faced by Uyghurs in Xinjiang and Hongkongers today has long been experienced by Tibetans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShortly after the signing of the Seventeen-Point Agreement, the Chinese government quickly broke its promise of \"one country, two systems\" and high autonomy, ruthlessly depriving Tibetans of their land, faith, culture, and memory. The destruction inflicted on Tibet far outweighed any creation. In the 1950s and 60s, the number of deaths caused by the CCP's suppression of the resistance movement in eastern Tibet was even greater than the Nanjing Massacre, for which China repeatedly demands apologies from Japan! And those hundreds of thousands of \"separatists\" who perished undoubtedly became non-existent figures in official discourse; not to mention that Tibetans also endured Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward, dying in prison, from starvation, executed in purges and tortures, and losing their lives in labor camps. Their suffering was worse than that of Han Chinese, not only were they subjected to abuse earlier, but also for a longer duration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlder generations of Tibetans shed blood in fierce resistance against the invasion of the \"Liberation Army.\" Younger generations of Tibetans, under the immense power of the Communist Party, remember the Dalai Lama's non-violent philosophy—they couldn't bear to kill others, only themselves—using self-immolation as a heavy protest against the CCP's high-pressure rule. It has become increasingly difficult for Chinese propagandists to claim that Tibetans are happy, as self-immolation incidents occur one after another, completely unstoppable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMao Zedong once told the Dalai Lama, \"Religion is poison.\" Systematically eliminating the Tibetan language was necessary, building modern model cities was necessary, and even more so, encouraging them to display portraits of Xi Jinping and the Chinese flag in their homes; the Party is your only God. The Communist Party, fearing the power of religion, has spared no effort, on its 100th anniversary, to downplay the importance of Buddhist faith in Tibetan life, thereby weakening the Dalai Lama's influence.\u003cbr\u003e　\u003cbr\u003eChina is becoming the perfect dictator. The level of fear among Tibetans today is comparable to what the author witnessed in North Korea. Barbara Demick, the Beijing bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, spent several years delving into Ngaba, Chengdu, Lhasa, Lixian, Jiuzhaigou, Nanjing, the China-Nepal border, Dharamsala in India, and other places, personally interviewing the Dalai Lama and dozens of Tibetans, and verifying each account, portraying the most authentic situation in Tibet under the oppression of the world's most powerful government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e　　● This book's narrative spans decades of modern Tibetan and Chinese history, recounted through the characters in Demick's writing:\u003cbr\u003e　　A princess whose home was raided during the Cultural Revolution; young wandering Tibetans who became radicalized at the famous Kirti Monastery;\u003cbr\u003e　　An aspiring entrepreneur who fell in love with a Chinese woman; a poet and intellectual who bravely resisted at the risk of his life;\u003cbr\u003e　　A young Tibetan female student forced from a young age to choose between family and the elusive temptation of Chinese money…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e　　They are all ordinary people, they just want to live normal, happy lives in their homeland,\u003cbr\u003e　　without having to make difficult choices between faith, family, and country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e　　They all face the same dilemma:\u003cbr\u003e　　Should they resist China, or join China?\u003cbr\u003e　　Should they follow the compassion and non-violence taught by Buddhism, or rise up in rebellion?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWesterners have long imagined Tibetan culture as one full of spirituality and peace. Demick uncovers this long-standing misconception, offering insight into the true face of Tibetans in the 21st century. Today's Tibetans suffer depredation from an irresistible, omnipotent superpower, yet they still strive to protect their culture, faith, and language.

By his mid-twenties, he owned one and was supplying sweaters and shirts to some of the biggest brands in the United States, from Polo to The Limited. His ideas about retail led him to create Giordano in 1981, and with it “fast fashion.” A restless entrepreneur, as Giordano prepared to go public, he was thinking about a dining concept that would disrupt Hong Kong’s fast-food industry.
