Yin Zhisheng, a grassroots thinker in China

by BI Yantao, China

Mr. Yin Zhisheng (殷之声) , who passed away in 1999, is appraised as a grassroots thinker in China. I got to know him via his wife Ms. Liu Zhen (刘真), a good friend of my friend and teacher Yue Jianyi (岳建一).

To be honest, I knew little about Mr. Yin and his family before I read some articles at a blogosphere designed to commemorate Mr. Yin Zhisheng. I am moved by his candid writings and his love for truth.
