Prison Notes Author: Wang Xuetai Publisher: Life·Reading·New Knowledge Sanlian Bookstore

Introduction
This is a true account of what the author saw and heard as an "active counter-revolutionary" prisoner in Beijing K Building Detention Center and Beijing No. 1 Prison from March 1975 to October 1978. It vividly and meticulously shows the daily life in prison and the various experiences of prisoners. Among this special group of people with different identities and experiences, behind the seemingly absurd and black humorous stories, it reflects the subtle social psychology common at the end of the "Cultural Revolution" and the human relationships under the background of high pressure and chaos. It is a historical record that is both true and insightful.
