I really enjoyed this one. It took a long time to get through as a train commute read, but was interesting enough to keep persevering. I don't know a great deal about the current Taiwan-China relationship except the basic history, so this was a pretty fascinating insight into the life of someone who is a dissident on both sides of the conflict. I had also always assumed that those of us outside China had a much better grasp of what happened at Tiananmen Square due to our lack of Internet censorship, but even though I studied Chinese history at school I had no idea the conflict actually happened outside the square, that the students actually managed to evacuate safely. And this evacuation was facilitated by a pop-star! Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
