This book provides an in-depth discussion of the experiences and complexities of the people in the context of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the cultural richness of China, as well as the historical autocracy origins of thousands of years of imperial power in China. It exposes the torture, suppression, imprisonment, and exile of elites and dissidents in all fields under the CCP's tyranny, and affects their family members. However, to this day, this persecution continues.
As a professor of biomedical engineering in the United States and a graduate of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, this book analyzes and lashes out at Mao Zedong and his fourth wife, Jiang Qing's self-praise of "I am a monk with an umbrella, lawless" and "endless joy in fighting with others", ignoring human rights, brutally suppressing and purging dissidents and innocent people, resulting in the unnatural deaths of tens of millions of people in China.
The book broadens the reader's understanding of the so-called Cultural Revolution, especially the historical dregs of Mao's imperial autocracy and personality cult and hopes that people will learn from this painful lesson and avoid any radical political movement, which will lead to the death of innocent people and the birth of extreme politics.
