Book Comments & Discussion
Ma Jian is a genius. I advise everyone who wants to know more about China, not just the June 4th Incident, but many interesting scenes of daily life beginning in the Cultural Revolution until present times. He weaves the past and present together with threads of poetry. I wish everyone could read this book.

Storyline
Dai Wei, a PhD student and protestor in Tiananmen Square in June 1989, was caught by a soldier's bullet and fell into a deep coma. But as the millennium draws near, he begins to emerge from unconsciousness, and to sense the massive changes in his country. At once a powerful allegory of a rising China, and a seminal story of the Tiananmen Square protests, Beijing Coma is Ma Jian's masterpiece.
