review of #Great-Leap-Forward book “Tombstone” (“Mubei”) by Yang Jisheng: “denied permission to publish on the mainland, but the book came out in Hong Kong in 2008 and went into eight reprints. (...) although the book is banned in China, Yang has not been arrested or made to disappear.” The translation is, however, “reduced” from a two-volume Chinese original. #news #history
