Intro：
The staggering story of the most important Chinese political dissident of the Mao era, a devout Christian who was imprisoned, tortured, and executed by the regime
Blood Letters tells the astonishing tale of Lin Zhao, a poet and journalist arrested by the authorities in 1960 and executed eight years later, at the height of the Cultural Revolution. The only Chinese citizen known to have openly and steadfastly opposed communism under Mao, she rooted her dissent in her Christian faith–and expressed it in long, prophetic writings done in her own blood, and at times on her clothes and on cloth torn from her bedsheets.
Miraculously, Lin Zhao’s prison writings survived, though they have only recently come to light. Drawing on these works and others from the years before her arrest, as well as interviews with her friends, her classmates, and other former political prisoners, Lian Xi paints an indelible portrait of courage and faith in the face of unrelenting evil.
《血书》讲述了一个令人震惊的故事，林昭是一位诗人和记者，于1960年被当局逮捕，并在八年后的文化大革命中被处决。她是唯一一个公开，坚定地反对毛泽东时代的共产主义的中国公民，她将异议植根于自己的基督教信仰中，并用自己的鲜血写的长篇预言书中表达了这种异议，有时写在撕裂的衣服和她的床单上。
尽管最近才发现林昭的牢狱之笔，但奇迹般地得以幸存。在被捕前的几年中，这些作品和其他作品，以及与她的朋友、同学和其他前政治犯的访谈中。这本书描绘了林昭顽强面对邪恶的勇气和信念的不可磨灭的画面。

席联教授的研究集中在中国近代与基督教的联系上。他的第一本书《传教士的皈依》(1997年)是在20世纪初中国民族主义高涨的背景下对美国新教传教的批判性研究。他的第二本书，《火的救赎:大众基督教在现代中国的兴起》(2010)，是2011年“今日基督教”图书奖得主，探讨了基督教传教士在中国大众中发展成为一种充满活力的本土信仰的过程。《血书:不为人知的林昭故事》(2018年)是他最近出版的一本书。这是关于毛时代中国最重要的政治异见者的第一本权威的、有文献记载的传记，她公开反对共产主义是由她的基督教信仰支撑的。席联博士的其他研究项目包括基督教在中国边疆少数民族中蓬勃发展，新教精英的出现，以及他们在当今中国寻找公民社会的过程中所扮演的重要角色(尽管这种角色也不稳定)。
Professor Lian’s research is focused on China’s modern encounter with Christianity. His first book, The Conversion of Missionaries (1997), is a critical study of American Protestant missions against the backdrop of rising Chinese nationalism in the early twentieth century. His second book, Redeemed by Fire: The Rise of Popular Christianity in Modern China (2010), winner of the 2011 Christianity Today Book Award, examines the development of missionary Christianity into a vibrant, indigenous faith of the Chinese masses. Blood Letters: The Untold Story of Lin Zhao, a Martyr in Mao’s China (2018) is his most recent book. It is the first authoritative, documented biography of the most important political dissident in Mao’s China, whose open opposition to communism was sustained by her Christian faith. Dr. Lian’s other research projects include the flourishing of Christianity among minority peoples on the margins of the Chinese state and the emergence of Protestant elites and their prominent, if also precarious, role in the search for civil society in today’s China.
