Beijing Coma - Ma Jian
KORTE INHOUD
May 1989. Tens of thousands of students are camped out in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. What started as a united protest at the slow pace of political reform has begun to lose direction: people from all over China are joining the demonstration and the students at its heart are confused by the influence they suddenly wield. One of them, Dai Wei, argues with his friends about everything from democracy to the distribution of food to protests, little knowing that, on 4 June, a soldier will shoot a bullet into his head, sending him into a deep coma.
