Li Rui's diaries contain detailed observations from his life in the CCP, including the Tiananmen Square Massacre, providing a unique perspective on reform and dissent in China.
The events of June 4, 1989, reveal the violent crackdown on peaceful protests, where thousands lost their lives, starkly contrasting earlier hopes for political reform.
After enduring political persecution during the Cultural Revolution, Li became a vocal critic of the Communist Party, particularly during the rise of Xi Jinping's regime.
Li's firsthand account is crucial in understanding the state-sponsored suppression of dissent in China, countering the government's attempts to erase this significant historical event.
