- The first supplementary reading is from the first chapter of Li Changping’s 2002 book, Telling the Truth to Premier Zhu. Beijing: Guangming Daily Publishing House. It will give you an idea why Li decided to write the letter.
- The second supplementary reading is on how Sun Zhigang, a fashion designer in Guangzhou, was detained as a homeless person and beaten to death by some security guards in 2003. Sadly, it echoes what happened 11 years earlier to Ding Zuoming, the protagonist of the first chapter of China Peasants Survey.
- The third supplementary reading is on the controversial trials of a BMW driver who killed a peasant woman in Harbin of Heilongjiang Province. The controversy is in a sense a reflection of what common people think about government officials and the enforcement of laws.
