Finalist for the 2015 Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism Longlisted for the Lionel Gelber Award for the Best Non-Fiction book in the world on Foreign Affairs An Economist Book of the Year, 2014 A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice "One of the best analyses of the impact of Tiananmen throughout China in the years since 1989." --The New York Times Book Review On June 4, 1989, People's Liberation Army soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians in Beijing, killing untold hundreds of people. A quarter-century later, this defining event remains buried in China's modern history, successfully expunged from collective memory. In The People's Republic of Amnesia, Louisa Lim charts how the events of June 4th changed China, and how China changed the events of June 4th by rewriting its own history. Lim reveals new details about those fateful days, including how one of the country's most senior politicians lost a family member to an army bullet, as well as the inside story of the young soldiers sent to clear Tiananmen Square. She also introduces us to individuals whose lives were transformed by the events of Tiananmen Square, such as a founder of the Tiananmen Mothers, whose son was shot by martial law troops; and one of the most important government officials in the country, who post-Tiananmen became one of its most prominent dissidents. And she examines how June 4th shaped China's national identity, fostering a generation of young nationalists, who know little and care less about 1989. For the first time, Lim uncovers the details of a brutal crackdown in a second Chinese city that until now has been a near-perfect case study in the state's ability to rewrite history, excising the most painful episodes. By tracking down eyewitnesses, discovering US diplomatic cables, and combing through official Chinese records, Lim offers the first account of a story that has remained untold for a quarter of a century. The People's Republic of Amnesia is an original, powerfully gripping, and ultimately unforgettable book about a national tragedy and an unhealed wound.Binding Type: Paperback

Not quite it
Didn't work like it said. They were cooling, yes...but my puffiness was still there when I took them off. The quality of the patches are quite flimsy so be careful, they rip easily and kind of dissolve in your hand.

5 Star Trimmer
Excellent quality! Noise level is a bit high, but definitely gets the job done expeditiously. Very easy to clean and functional.

Where'd that cap go!?
This trimmer works well. I've looked over the one star reviews and I cannot imagine what those people were doing with their trimmers. I've had this device for three months or so. And I like it. It's quiet, and does a good job in your nose and ears.
So after all that you're probably wondering why didn't you give it five stars? I marked it down one because of the shape., and maybe the height. Because they both contribute to this thing falling or being knocked over again and again and again. This devices base is less than an inch across and it about 5 inches high. I keep knocking it over just about any time my hand is anywhere near where it is. Because our fingers naturally curl, I keep knocking this thing over. And while that's not usually a big deal. It has a small cap that shoots off and runs under dressers, tables, chairs, just about anything with a space under it. Mine even went under the fridge one time and the stove on another occasion.
I've decided not to let it get to me, because I like the functionality of the device. That five inch height makes it easy to hold on to. And if I wind up losing the cap. It won't matter.
