美國國家圖書獎得主哈金全新力作
一名來自中國的哈佛學生,在這部關於抗議與壓制的震撼小說中,揭開天安門事件隱秘而曲折的歷史
當中國總理造訪哈佛時,國際學生Pei Lulu遇見了一位孤身抗議者,這個邂逅徹底改變了她對中華人民共和國以及自身在世界中定位的理解。
這是Lulu第一次得知1989年的抗議運動,以及政府對示威者的暴力鎮壓。她決心深入探究,向家人尋求答案——家人分享了他們令人意外的參與經歷;同時,她還參加了一門以真實第一手敘述為基礎的大學課程,深受啟發。
Looking for Tank Man既是扣人心弦的成長故事,也是對勇敢抗爭者的深情致敬。小說讓這段悲劇歷史得以在公眾記憶中延續,同時警示專制政權的危險。
When the Chinese premier visits Harvard, international student Pei Lulu encounters a lone protester, who will drastically change her understanding of the People's Republic and her own place in the world. For the first time, Lulu learns of the 1989 protest movement and the government’s violent response. Determined to find out more, she seeks answers from her family, who share surprising stories of their involvement, and from a formative university course based on powerful firsthand accounts.
At once a compelling coming-of-age tale and a poignant tribute to the courage of activists, Looking for Tank Man keeps this tragedy alive in the public memory and warns against the dangers of authoritarian regimes.
