Tombstone
The Untold Story of Mao's Great Famine
Sinopsis
I call this book Tombstone. It is a tombstone for my foster father who died of hunger in 1959, for the 36 million Chinese who also died of hunger, for the system that caused their death, and perhaps for myself for writing this book.
The most powerful and important Chinese work of recent years, Yang Jishengs Tombstone is a passionate, moving and angry account of one of the 20th centurys most nightmarish events: the killing of an estimated 36 million Chinese in 1958-1961 by starvation or physical abuse. More people died in Maos Great Famine than in the entire First World War and yet their story remains substantially untold. Now, at last, they can be heard.
Based on survivors testimonies, this book was greeted with huge acclaim when published in Hong Kong as an essential work of reckoning.
