Purchase options and add-ons

Late one night in December 2008, police arrived at the home of Liu Xiaobo―China’s leading dissident, a key figure in the prodemocracy manifesto Charter 08―and took him away. When Liu won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize as a political prisoner, the award was bestowed on an empty chair. Inside China, the regime sought to erase every trace of his existence. Liu died of liver cancer in 2017 without ever having been allowed to return home.

I Have No Enemies is the definitive biography of Liu Xiaobo, offering a meticulously researched account of the twists and turns of a remarkable life. Perry Link and Wu Dazhi explore Liu’s upbringing, immersion in classical Chinese poetry and philosophy, bold challenges to literary conformity, and involvement in democratic movements. They trace the lifelong evolution of his thinking and chronicle his persecution, incarceration, and death.

I Have No Enemies emphasizes Liu’s principled commitment to dissent and the significance of the example he set in China and around the world. Liu was a farsighted strategist whose ultimate goal was “to change a regime by changing a society.” In Tiananmen Square, he showed others how to face down armed soldiers; in daily life, he looked for ways to build a more democratic culture. A powerful record of Liu’s life and times, this book also tells the story of a generation of Chinese intellectuals who sought a better way forward.

Review

I Have No Enemies is a moving biography of the courageous Liu Xiaobo. Told with affection, insight, and rich details, it shows how a restless boy gradually grew into a man who firmly believed in benevolence and love, "because love produces strength by binding people together." The fluid, exuberant, and well-textured prose make this book a pure pleasure to read. -- Ha Jin, author of A Song Everlasting

This is an extraordinary work: a meticulous portrait of Liu Xiaobo, his intellectual and activist community, and a period in recent Chinese history notoriously hard to research. It is moving―and essential―reading, reflecting people’s incredible tenacity in pursuing their rights and freedoms even in the face of unyielding repression. -- Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch and author of China, Cambodia, and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence

This is sure to be the work of reference on Liu Xiaobo for many years to come. It is meticulously researched, drawing on unequaled access to sources close to Liu Xiaobo as well as a vast body of references that derive from deep familiarity with China’s intellectual scene over the last fifty years. -- Sebastian Veg, author of Minjian: The Rise of China's Grassroots Intellectuals

A moving and well researched biography... meticulously covers an incredible amount of extremely sensitive topics which range from corrupt officials, discrimination against various groups and heavy matters related to human trafficking and police brutality. ― East West Notes

Meticulously researched and wonderfully crafted... -- Yang Su ― Foreign Affairs

The best biography ever written on the Nobel Peace Prize laureate...an absolute must-read... -- Jean-Philippe Béja ― The China Quarterly
