Book

China's Descent into a Quagmire

The author of this book is economist He Qinglian. As early as 1998, the manuscript began to circulate on the Internet. In 2005, it was published by a publishing house in mainland China and was immediately banned. The materials cited in the book discuss many aspects of China's social and economic issues today and are regarded as a representative interpretation of China's reforms by independent intellectuals. The author said that the book answers a question: What consequences has economic reform brought to China?
Official Documents

Declassified Files of the Canadian Government on the June Fourth Incident

It describes the circumstances surrounding the June 4 massacre as they were known to officials at the Canadian embassy. The documents, declassified by the National Library and Archives of Canada, show the Canadian government's concern about the invasion of the embassy by Chinese troops. The documents also describe the crackdown in Beijing and how the troops killed citizens.

History of the Second Half of the 20th Century Demystified

Film and Video

Ram

The documentary "Ram" was filmed by independent director Tiger Temple in 2016 and is available here in a revised version by the author in 2021. The film documents a real-life incident that took place in Xi'an during the "1983 crackdown". The encounter of the artist Gong Yang (real name Li Xiaoming), the main character of the documentary, is quite representative. It reflects the cruelty and absurdity of the "1983 Crackdown" political campaign launched under the direction of Deng Xiaoping.

Remembering Lin Zhao

Independent director Tiger Temple began shooting this film in 2010 and completed it in 2012, with subsequent revisions. The film features interviews with Lin Zhao's former lover Gan Cui as well as interviews with several independent scholars such as Qian Liqun and Cui Weiping. It is a powerful addition to Lin Zhao's memory. This film was selected as one of the top 20 finalists in the 2012 Sunshine Chinese Documentary Awards.
