————————————
In January 2015, the Stanford University sexual assault case shocked the United States. The suspect, Brock Turner, was a rising swimming star who had participated in the Olympic trials.
Faced with an unfair trial in court, the victim used the pseudonym Emily to make a court statement, which is considered one of the most important historical documents in the United States since Uncle Tom's Cabin. Influenced by the case, California dismissed the trial judge and changed the sexual assault legislation.
She is not Emily, she is Chanel Miller, a Chinese girl whose Chinese name is Zhang Xiaoxia.
She is not a symbolic victim, but will regain healing, dignity and strength for herself and all girls who have suffered pain through writing.

This beautiful, powerful, and important story is also an act of self-rediscovery, and it deserves to be read widely, especially by the next generation of young men. Miller's words are our goal and our map. She is a treasure we cherish. - The New York Times
In "Know My Name," we are with Miller every minute, feeling his own pain, and even can't bear to finish reading the chapters that record the trial... Miller is an outstanding writer: plain, accurate, yet deeply moving. --National Public Radio
Miller shows how difficult it is for a rape victim to get justice, and how this process can turn into a second rape. Although Miller's writing is sometimes full of anger, she is always committed to comforting and providing a way for others who have the same experience to be rescued. "Know My Name" not only inspires our courage, but also is full of hope for redemption at the end. - The Washington Times
Miller shares a language with a large community of sexual assault victims, and she places her own pain in the context of this community. In a world that demands victims remain silent, Know My Name demonstrates the author's resolute and surprisingly powerful presence with unflinching momentum. - The Guardian
"Know My Name" is both an open grief and a self-healing, a silent cry and a loud cry... It is not only a successful accusation, but also a hand reaching out to you, inviting you to fight with her. - Elle
