Zhang Xianliang was a Chinese author and poet whose work deeply explores the experiences of political imprisonment and the turbulent periods of Chinese history. His largely autobiographical reflections, inspired by personal encounters with political persecution and the Cultural Revolution, offer a profound look at human resilience in the face of adversity. Through his distinctive style, he conveys raw and intimate portraits of individuals navigating extreme circumstances, seeking meaning and hope. His writing is characterized by its candor and depth, establishing him as a significant voice in Chinese literature.
"Rehabilitated" in 1979, former political prisoner Zhang Xianliang recovered from the authorities a diary he had kept while in a labour camp during the 1960s. This book is a detailed annotation to the necessarily terse entries in that diary.
