Liu Xiaobo, winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize and one of China’s most revered intellectuals, continues to write and speak out against tyranny and in support of freedom, while serving an 11-year prison term. This new collection brings together an expert team including cultural historian Perry Link, translator Tienchi Martin-Liao, and Xiaoba’s wife Liu Xia, a poet and artist currently under house arrest. It includes poems written in jail, critical essays, his Charter 08 in self defense against criminal charges, and his award-winning 2003 speech for liberal democracy. The book opens with a foreword by Vaclav Havel.
