About
Dai Wei lies in a coma after he was shot in the head at the Tiananmen Square protest ten years earlier. As the minute-by-minute chronicling of the lead-up to his shooting becomes even more intense, the reader is caught in a gripping, emotional journey where the boundaries between life and death are increasingly blurred.
