Let’s commemorate the freedom fighter with a line of poetry she wrote in 1964:

Freedom is without a price,
yet within bounds my life lies.
Shattered jade is what I will to be,
offered to China as a sacrifice !

#OTD In 1968, Lin Zhao, the 36-year-old political dissident, was sentenced to death and executed on the same day. She was one of the most significant resistance figures in the Mao era, and her critique of totalitarianism is still highly valuable today. #LinZhao

#历史上的今天

1968年，36岁的异议者、政治犯 #林昭 在上海被判死刑，当天即遭枪决。她是毛时代最重要的抗争者之一，对极权主义的批判至今仍然极具价值。让我们用她在1964年写的一句诗，来纪念这位自由战士：

自由无价，生命有涯。宁为玉碎，以殉中华。

It was not until after 1980 that he was exonerated and began to rebuild his life.

These valuable historical records come from "Return from Purgatory", the autobiography of Xiang Chengjian, a key contributor to "Sparks" magazine.

Silenced No More: In 1957, he was labeled a Rightist and sent to work, experiencing the Great Famine, witnessing the deaths of innocent people. In 1962, he was sentenced to 18 years for "counter-revolutionary crimes" due to the “Sparks” case, enduring China's version of the "Gulag".

不再沉默：他在1957年被打成「 #右派 」，亲历饥荒，目睹死亡；又在1960年因「星火案」被投入大牢，以「反革命罪」判刑18年，经历中国的「 #古拉格 」。直到1980年以后，他与其他幸存者才获得平反，开始重建生活。

这些珍贵的历史记录，来自《星火》杂志重要参与者向承鉴的自传《炼狱归魂》。这本书是「民间档案馆系列丛书」的第一本，获得2024年纽约博登书屋「最佳历史回忆文献档案奖」。

Today's recommendation from the CUA: "Hu Yaobang and the Rehabilitation of Wrongful Cases" by Dai Huang. This book documents Hu Yaobang's efforts to rehabilitate those who were labeled as "rightists" during the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957.

#OTD In 1989, former CCP General Secretary Hu Yaobang, who supported reforms, passed away. His death, along with the subsequent spontaneous memorial activities by the public, became the spark that ignited the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. #HuYaobang

#历史上的今天 1989年4月15日，支持改革的前中共总书记 #胡耀邦 去世。他的去世以及此后民间自发的悼念活动，成为 #六四 天安门事件的导火索。

「中国民间档案馆」今天推荐：新华社前记者戴煌所写的《胡耀邦与平反冤假错案》，本书记述了胡耀邦为「反右」运动中被打为「右派」的人平反所做的努力。

#OTD in 1997, Chinese writer Wang Xiaobo passed away suddenly from a heart attack.

His novels, essays, and satirical works mock and critique totalitarianism, while celebrating liberalism. They have become an important intellectual inspiration for generations of Chinese readers.

他的主要小说《黄金时代》以 #文化大革命 为背景，讲述了普通人王二的经历，描绘了人们在极权政权下的欲望、痛苦和反抗，以及王二在被毛泽东极权时代压抑之后，如何发现自我个性。

#历史上的今天

1997年4月11日，作家 #王小波 突发心脏病去世。

他的小说、散文和杂文作品嘲讽和批判极权主义，正面颂扬和追求自由主义，成为几代中国读者重要的思想资源，影响持续至今。

他在代表作品《 #沉默的大多数 》中认为，中国强大的国家机器使得社会中的大多数群体沉默无声，从不同性取向的人到农民，从农民工到少数民族，概莫能外。这篇文章对中国民间社会产生了深远的影响，受影响者包括后来的诺贝尔和平奖得主 #刘晓波 。

Books written by Hong Kong journalists, such as The People Will Not Forget: A Chronicle by 64 Hong Kong Reporters and Monument in the Square: June 4 Bloodshed through the Eyes of a Hong Kong Woman Reporter, have made June 4 a lasting topic of concern and collective memory for all of Hong Kong.(3/4)

Hong Kong Journalists: Chroniclers of June 4th and Keepers of its Memory. Over the past five years, Hong Kong's news industry has faced increasing restrictions. Nowhere is that more evident than in how the territory's media covers commemorations of the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square Massacre. (1/4)

香港记者：六四现场的记录者和记忆的传承者。

过去五年，#香港 的新闻行业面临越来越多的限制，最能体现这一变化的，莫过于香港媒体如何报道1989年6月4日 #天安门广场屠杀 的纪念活动。2020年之前，持续不断地回顾和纪念 #六四 ，曾经是香港传媒的重要传统。在那之后，涉足这一话题已经需要莫大的勇气。

香港记者撰写的《人民不会忘记：八九民运实录》、《广场活碑：一个香港女记者眼中的六四血光》等著作，让六四成为整个香港持久关心的话题与集体记忆。
