China's Hidden History: The Fight for Truth Under Mao's Shadow
Out of Mao's Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China
In this video, we explore Philip P. Pan's groundbreaking book 'Out of Mao's Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China.' Pan, a former Beijing bureau chief for The New York Times, reveals the untold stories of ordinary Chinese citizens—lawyers, journalists, doctors, and activists—who risk everything to reclaim historical truth and fight for justice in an era of rapid economic growth and authoritarian control. From the blood-written pleas of executed dissident Lin Zhao to the underground preservation of Red Guard massacre sites, we uncover a China far removed from official narratives. This is a journey into the soul of a nation grappling with its past and its future.
