May 1989. Tens of thousands of students are camped out in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. But what started as a united protest has begun to lose direction: the students at its heart are confused by the influence they suddenly wield, and riven by petty in-fighting. One of them, Dai Wei, argues with about everything from democracy to the distribution of food to protestors, little knowing that, on 4 June, a soldier will shoot a bullet into his head, sending him into a deep coma. A gripping emotional journey where the boundaries between life and death are increasingly blurred.
