  Liu Binyan is a leader of the Democracy Movement in China, and this is his account of life as a journalist with the People's Daily . He tells of his rise to prominence and his involvement in the workers' strikes in Shanghai, which prompted him to write personally to Chairman Mao - an event which led to his being labelled an enemy of the Party. Following his rehabilitation he became the star investigative reporter for the People's Daily . He probed the corruption of the Party high and low, offering stories of gross injustice and jolting the foundations of the Communist system.
