From the publisher
First line
When Deng Xiaoping "opened" China to the outside world in the 1980s, he did not adequately appreciate the impact that the comparison with the West would have on the Chinese populace.
From the rear cover
Chinese intellectuals have a traditional duty, for which there is no equivalent in the West: to worry, to 'take responsibility for all under heaven, ' to argue the question 'What can we do with China?' In this 'utterly absorbing gem of a book' (Library Journal), Perry Link conveys the worries besetting China's most prominent writers, journalists, scientists, professors, and dissident officials. Link creates 'an invaluable opening onto China's best and brightest hearts and minds' (Kirkus Reviews), allowing the Chinese themselves to tell us why Beijing took to the streets in Spring 1989.
