https://zirk.us/@yangyang_cheng/...Three years ago today, Dr. Li Wenliang died of Covid-19. On Sunday, February 5, solidarity rallies were held in over a dozen cities across the world in his memory, in support of free expression and detained #WhitePaper protesters in China.
I was invited to speak at the event in Boston, my first time speaking at a rally. Many thanks to @chinafile for publishing my remarks:

https://zirk.us/@yangyang_cheng/...For my first post on this 🐘 site, it seems fitting that I (re-)share my essay in Los Angeles Review of Books (which made LARB's "People's Choice Awards: Best of 2022" list!), a review of Ruth Rogaski's Knowing Manchuria and @seow's Carbon Technocracy.
