 Attorney. Activist. Fearless. Faithful.
The story of one man who has taken on the world’s largest authoritarian regime… And, in the eyes of many, won. Born and raised in a cave with only the stars to tell time, Gao Zhisheng rose from poverty to become China’s most important lawyer. He has courageously sought justice for vulnerable groups such as the poor, the disabled, and the persecuted. Yet Gao’s fortitude has drawn the ire of Communist authorities. Today, physical threat and police surveillance are a constant reality for both Gao and his family. Undeterred, he has responded in the nonviolent tradition of Gandhi by launching nationwide hunger strikes to intensify the call for justice and human rights in China. His undaunted resolve and generous spirit have won the hearts of millions. Whispers can be heard in China’s streets, “Will Gao Zhisheng become the next president?” Part memoir, part social commentary, part call to action, A China More Just is a penetrating account of contemporary China through the life of one attorney. Its selection of writings takes readers from a village in rural China to urban courtrooms, mountainside torture chambers, and the halls of a reluctant government. A China More Just is at once witty and raw, touching and wrenching, sober and playful. |

A book that has shocked all Chinese around the world. A book that is disintegrating the Communist Party.
This is the book version of a groundbreaking editorial series published in 2004 by the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times, an international, multilingual media company.
The Nine Commentaries has sparked an unprecedented conversation among Chinese people about the character of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as well as a nonviolent movement of Chinese renouncing their membership in the Party and affiliated youth organizations. The editors of The Epoch Times now invite the English-speaking world to join the conversation. Winner of the 2005 of the Asian American Journalists Association Award for Asian American Issues-Online
"The Nine Commentaries is a very important landmark...Many people despise the CCP, yet they are unable to tell what is true from what is false because people around them are all telling lies. One of the effects The Nine Commentaries will have is that even ordinary citizens who couldn't care less about politics will one day dare to say openly: 'We are opposed to the CCP.'" - Wei Jingsheng, prominent Chinese dissident who served 18 years in Chinese prisons because of his pro-democracy writings.
