本書為六四民運領袖王丹的第一本個人完整回憶錄。由王丹親自執筆，藉由回顧他從小到大的日記，爬梳他人生中的每一個轉折。本書開頭即從王丹的童年成長經驗談起，以及中學時加入共青團，享受中國八○年代改革開放時期的美好時光；而他在高中時因為受到一本書的影響，使得他對共產黨忠貞的信仰產生強烈質疑，以至於之後思想轉向，成為北大校園中民主思潮的宣傳者，後來更成為八九學運的帶頭者之一，他的人生也因此有了巨大的變化。
王丹在本書中除了批露自身成長與心路歷程外，也試圖以呈現其個人記憶全像來完成其身為「六四」重要成員所應負的歷史責任──還原他個人所知所為的部分歷史面貌；他並以此審視角度來書寫「六四」及因「六四」入獄獲釋後，他為了民主運動再度入獄，及之後流亡美國十年的完整歷程。透過本書，王丹想傳達的就是他這樣一個人，在一個國家中，所見證經歷的一個時代。
Wang Dan, one of the leaders of the Chinese pro-democracy movement in 1989, was arrested and imprisoned after the Tiananmen Incident and spent three years and seven months in prison. Wang Dan describes his miserable life in prison in this book, his encounters and mental journey under the bars show his unremitting struggle for freedom and democracy, as well as the huge price he paid for it.
Through this book, we see a 21-year-old Peking University student who perseveres and devotes himself to the pursuit of his ideals. We also see a mother who always supports her son and accompanies Wang Dan through this long and painful journey with family affection and no resentment.
When this book was published, Wang Dan was once again in jail and was sent to prison far away from Beijing to serve his sentence. From Qincheng to Tiezhou, freedom was imprisoned, family ties were cut off, andThis book is the first complete personal memoir of Wang Dan, the leader of the June Fourth democracy movement. By reviewing his diaries from childhood to adulthood, every turning point in his life is combed through. The book begins with Wang Dan’s childhood experience, and how he joined the Communist Youth League in middle school and enjoyed the wonderful time of China’s reform and opening up period in the 1980s. In high school, he was inspired by a book and he started questioning his loyalty to the Communist Party. He then became a propagandist of democratic thoughts on the campus of Peking University. Later, he became one of the leaders of the 1989 student movement, and his life also underwent tremendous changes.
In this book, Wang Dan not only reveals his own growth and mental journey, but also attempts to fulfill his historical responsibility as an important member of the "June Fourth Movement" by presenting a complete picture of his personal memory - to restore what he personally knows. He used this perspective to write about the "June 4th Incident" and the complete process of his being imprisoned and released for the "June 4th Incident", his re-imprisonment for the pro-democracy movement, and his subsequent ten-year exile in the United States. Through this book, what Wang Dan wants to convey is the experience that a person like him has witnessed in a country.
