The dramatic and fascinating story of Chai Ling, commander-in-chief of the student protesters at Tiananmen Square and witness to the massacre of thousands of Chinese civilians. Risking imprisonment and possible death for her leadership role in the student democracy movement, she was on the run in China for ten months while being hunted by the authorities. She eventually escaped to the U.S., completed her education at Princeton and Harvard, found true love, and became a highly successful entrepreneur. But her desperate quest for freedom, purpose, and peace?which she had sought in turn through academic achievement, romantic love, political activism, and career success?was never satisfied until she had an unexpected encounter with a formerly forbidden faith. Her newfound passion for God led to her life?s greatest mission: Fighting for the lives and rights of young girls in China.

(Yu Ying-shih, professor emeritus, Princeton University, and recipient of the John W. Kluge Prize (2006), Library of Congress) From the Inside Flap MY NAME IS CHAI LING.I was born at the beginning of China?s Cultural Revolution. Like all Chinese children, I was taught to love my country, sacrifice my own needs, and be ready to give up my life for a greater good. We were not allowed to know God.In 1989, I became a leader of a student hunger strike in Tiananmen Square, a peaceful movement for a better, freer, and more loving China. There I discovered the truth about the government I had been taught to love. In the early-morning hours of June 4, I stood with my friends and watched in horror as the tanks rolled in. During the crackdown, thousands were wounded or killed.I survived.A lifetime later, after escaping to freedom and achieving success beyond the wildest American dream, I was still trapped between the past and the future. Haunted by memories of standing against the force of a powerful regime, I had lost my purpose, my homeland, and my strength . . . until God met me and healed me. When my eyes were then opened to another life-and-death battle, would I have the courage to join it and risk losing my most precious loved ones again? Do I dare hope that, with God?s help, we can finally see true freedom in China?Chai Ling was a key student leader in the 1989 Tiananmen Square movement.
