A story that needs to be retold again and again. This book and Chai Jing teaches us that in the most adverse of situations, humans always find a way through. And oppression never wins in the end. The resistance she shows again and again against the lies of the Party are incredible. A must read for any person living on this Earth. Could be applicable against the government, against bullies, against adversity, against mental issues. All of it.
That's how good this book and this person is.

This is an interesting look at a female Chinese news journalist and what she had to go through to report the news in her own country. With the best intentions to be truthful and fair to her interviewees and report the news honestly, the author went up against more seasoned male journalists who were critical, but also helpful at times.

The author's stories were about major issues that Chinese people were facing. She focused on the ordinary people involved and brought their emotional and frightening challenges to light. Chai Jing reported with courage, empathy, and concern making her a well-known journalist in China today.

A revealing look at Jing's life as a journalist. I am interested in the topics she has researched and reported on first-hand. It was also interesting to see how her life unfolded and how she was able to get her jobs and how she was perceived socially.
