xxcharles's review against another edition
3.75
Sehr angenehm und einfach zu lesen, langweilt nie. Der mittlere Teil (die Briefe aus dem Gefängnis) waren für mich der schlechteste Teil, so gemein es auch klingt, ich habe nicht sehr mit der Persönlichkeit / Erzählstil von Joshua Wong gevibed... (Würde mich sehr interessieren, ob der etwas seltsam anmutende Sprachstil der Übersetzung geschuldet ist oder im Original ebenso)
Erzählt kurz zusammengefasst die wichtigsten Punkte in der aktuellen Entwicklung Hong Kongs, und dafür, dass es 2020 erschienen ist, gibt es einen tatsächlich sehr präzisen Ausblick in die Zukunft... Motiviert einen, mehr zur politischen Lage in Ostasien lesen zu wollen.

Nonfiction. Politics. Hong Kong.
Broken down into three parts, this book tells the autobiography of Joshua Wong, young political rights activist, his time in prison, and a guide on what ordinary citizens can do to help.
Wong is very prolific in his writings and is backed up by his experiences in politics and activism, even from a young age. Still, the writing is accessible and informative.
For those who may never have heard of Joshua Wong, he has staged protests, helped form a political party and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, all between the ages of 14 and 22.
I read this book to educate myself on thd situation in Hong Kong from a non news-source perspective and got exactly that. I'd been vaguely aware of the situation between Hong Kong and China and had heard the name Joshua Wong, and this book gave me the opportunity to learn more. This book is must reading for anyone interested in world news and freedom of speech and humanitarian rights and i also recommend it to ya readers in hopes to inspire them to make a difference.
