Abhinav vs Abhinaya : Abhinyaya !

Suppressant OR Depressant : Sentiment !

 My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech, and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas, but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.

I left Beijing in 1987, shortly before my books were banned there, but have returned continually.

In 1989, I was on Tiananmen Square with the students, living in their makeshift tents and joining their jubilant singing of the Internationale. In the two decades since, each time that I have gone back, visions from those days seem to return with increasing persistence.

Red Dust was about the late 1980s; it was a time of burgeoning hopes and opening up and people searching for new ways.

Writing in the Guardian in July 2008, Ma Jian stated:

I am a writer. Being critical is a writer’s responsibility. In China, however, writers are encouraged to sing the praises of the government. Since being too critical may lead to the banning of their work, many exercise self-censorship or write books to please the market.That's How The Light Gets In
