A Popular Chinese Blogger Finds a Place to Speak Openly

Han Han, the popular Chinese blogger and writer, spoke at the Hong Kong Book Fair. From the New York Times:

Han Han, considered China’s most popular blogger, faced about 200 members of the news media and 1,800 fans at the recent book fair here.

The first question from the press, about the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing, was one that could not have been asked at a similar event across the border.

“I was only seven years old when the incident happened and couldn’t understand it. But when I did understand it, I couldn’t read anything about it,” the 28-year-old said in Mandarin, referring to censorship on the subject.
