After a two week standoff, the military forces, charged in and brutally suppressed the revolt, killing many students and issuing a warrant for the arrest of all responsible for the insurgence.".

After two years as a fugitive, he was the only leader who had not been accounted for. Among the twenty-one students placed on the government's most wanted list, Zhang knew that he would never again be able to live openly in China and that he must bid his beloved country - as well as his wife and baby daughter - farewell.

In the course of his long ordeal, he loses his love, finding God and, eventually, freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
