Yang Jisheng
Yang Jisheng (born November 1940〔("A hunger for the truth: A new book, banned on the mainland, is becoming the definitive account of the Great Famine." ), chinaelections.org, 7 July 2008〕〔("Chinese author of book on famine braves risks to inform new generations" ) by Verna Yu, ''International Herald Tribune'', 18 December 2008〕) is a Chinese journalist and author of ''Tombstone'' (墓碑; ''Mubei''), a comprehensive account of the Great Chinese Famine during the Great Leap Forward. Yang joined the Communist Party in 1964 and graduated from Tsinghua University in 1966. He promptly joined Xinhua News Agency, where he worked until his retirement in 2001. His loyalty to the party was destroyed by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre,〔http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/nov/22/china-worse-you-ever-imagined/〕 and, although he continued working for the Xinhua News Agency, he, in fact, spent much of his time researching for ''Tombstone''. As of 2008, he was the deputy editor of the journal ''Yanhuang Chunqiu'' in Beijing.〔〔("Yang Jisheng" ) at the China Media Project, Hong Kong University, October 2007 (accessed 9 March 2008)〕 Yang Jisheng is also listed as a Fellow of China Media Project, a department under Hong Kong University.〔
==Work on the Great Famine==
Beginning in the early 1990s, Yang began interviewing people and collecting records of The Great Famine of 1959–1961, in which his own foster father had died, eventually accumulating ten million words of records. He published a two-volume 1,208 page account of the period, in which he meticulously cited his sources to prevent the Chinese government from dismissing it. It was widely acclaimed as being the definitive account of the Great Famine.〔〔("When China Starved" ) by Anne Applebaum, ''The Washington Post'', 12 August 2008〕 He begins the book,
I call this book Tombstone. It is a tombstone for my () father who died of hunger in 1959, for the 36 million Chinese who also died of hunger, for the system that caused their death, and perhaps for myself for writing this book.〔
The book was published in Hong Kong and is banned in mainland China.〔〔Jisheng Yang, "The Fatal Politics of the PRC's Great Leap Famine: The Preface to ''Tombstone''," ''Journal of Contemporary China'' 19.66 (2010): 755–776. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10670564.2010.485408〕 In 2012 translations into French, German, and English (which has been condensed almost by 50%) have been published.〔http://www.seuil.com/livre-9782021030150.htm〕〔http://www.fischerverlage.de/buch/grabstein_-_mubei/9783100800237〕
