未來的自由中國在民間

by Xiaobo Liu, 劉曉波

本書全面探討了有關中國政治改革的有利條件：民權與官權的相對漲落，產權的改革，人權意識的覺醒，及工潮、基層民主自治、民間網路言論維權、新聞改革的民間動力和體制內異見的崛起。作者系統地論述了各方面的發展與中國政治民主化的關係。劉曉波認為：1848年至1949年，中國經歷了整整百年的現代化努力，經歷曲折、教訓多多，但最終還是誤入歧途，且是誤入了最大的歧途──選擇了蘇聯模式的共產極權。隨著毛澤東的自然死亡，中國又重新開始了又一次現代化努力：後毛澤東時代的中共，一直仍奉行著鄧小平開創的跛足改革。到本世紀初的中國現代化，雖不能說已經進入了正途，然而，中國所處的內外環境，確達到百年未遇之良機，國際大勢的明朗和國內民間的覺醒，正在共同推動著歧途知返的進程。作者呼籲國內外自由知識份子，以非暴力方式，漸進式地擴張具有中國特色的灰色自由空間，與體制內異見人士同步共進地削弱不利於中國民主進程的一元化統治。

About the author

Liu was born in Changchun, Jilin, in 1955 to an intellectual family. In 1977, Liu was admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature at Jilin University, where he created a poetry group known as "The Babies' Hearts" (Chi Zi Xin) with six schoolmates. He graduated with a B.A. in 1982, went on to study for an M.A. and a PhD degree from Beijing Normal University.
He became a teacher, literary critic, writer, professor, and human rights activist who called for political reforms which led to his imprisonment in the people's republic of China. In 2010 he received Nobel Peace Prize.
(Note: It is correct to give his name as "Liu Xiaobo", as this is the proper Chinese name sequence. However, Liu is the family name and Xiaobo the given name. As Goodreads always assumes the family name to be the one after the last space character, the sequence should be turned to "Xiaobo Liu" to make sure the name is parsed and sorted correctly by Goodreads.)
