No, and they probably wont know that because my book, although it has been translated into Chinese and is available in Hong Kong, is of course banned in the Peoples Republic. So I think this is one way of dealing with these issues: just to have some sort of more or less enforced silence. This is, after all, a state of enforced amnesia. Forget about my work; the work of other historians isnt discussed. Its as if there is no past but only a future which will always be better and we must strive to move forward and never stop and look back. - Frank Dikotter, author of The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution, 1945-57
