larissa roso wrote in the washington post, “wu said he worked 12 hours a day on farms and in coal mines and steel mills. food was scarce, and he sometimes ate roots, snakes and frogs. he tried to commit suicide twice, refusing to eat while in solitary confinement. his weight plummeted to 80 pounds.”

"it was traumatic. i could not believe her body could handle it," she said.

military and government-backed electroshock was the daily mean to abuse and torture gay men and, in a smaller amount, lesbians, all throughout the 70s and 80s in south africa’s ward 22. a barbaric way to fix what wasn’t broken.

perry link, emeritus professor of east asian studies at princeton, has said the laogai prison system was just as horrific as the soviet gulag.

“whether it will attract the attention the gulag has attracted in the western imagination, i'm doubtful. i don't think it will," link told the washington post. 

“the chinese people today aren't ready to look squarely at this experience because they tie it too much to their own national pride. the rise of china economically and diplomatically in the world makes them very proud. for both the soviet camps and the nazi camps, the populations that suffered were much more willing to press the issue."
