Link takes us behind the closed doors and official language of the party's China and into the lives and thoughts of China's leading intellectual dissidents. Here first-hand is the depair of lives corneered by oppressive party rule as well as the hope that continues to animate these heirs to China'srich cultural traditions. Link shows the intricate cruelties and corruptions of the work-unit system, which lies at the heart of party power in China's cities. He exposes the official language that is the medium for all public communications, and the divide between this and the informal language Chinese use in their private relations. He explores the identity crisis experienced by Chinese who struggle to find some alternative to the party's prescription for what it means to be Chinese in the modern world.
