Yang Jisheng (杨继绳), a former veteran reporter of Xinhua News Agency, has published a book this May in Hong Kong, entitled Tombstone:Archives of the Great Chinese Famine in 1960s (墓碑──中国60年代大饥荒纪实), to commemorate the 36 million people who died of hunger during "the Great Leap Forward" (1958-1960) in China.
Yang's Tombstone was published this year by Cosmos Books (Tian Di Tu Shu), a Hong Kong-based press.
