Contents
Experiencing death
For 17
Suffocating city square
A lone cigarette burns
From the shattered pieces of a stone it begins
Memory
I will give my soul free rein
That day
Closing in and breaking through
Standing in the curse of time
For Su Bingxian
Memories of a wooden plank
June fourth, a tomb
Beneath the gaze of the departed souls
Fifteen years of darkness
Remember the departed souls
The white lillies in the dark night of June fourth
The dead souls of spring
Child, mother, spring
June fourth in my body
Daybreak
A small rat in prison
Greed's prisoner
Longing to escape
One letter is enough.
