The closest I have come to trouble with the law was when I stopped to tie my shoe on Chang'an Boulevard, near Tiananmen Square in Beijing—and obliviously put my foot on what turned out to be a low pedestal around the main flagpole at Xinhua Gate, outside the headquarters of the country's ruling State Council. Three guards rushed at me and pushed me away to end this sacrilege.

我有一次在天安门广场附近的长安街系鞋带，不自觉地把脚放在了新华门主旗杆的基座上，新华门在国务院所在地门外，三个警卫冲向我，把我推走，结束了我的不敬的行为，这是我由于违反了禁令所遇到的麻烦。

No mention is made, for example, of a vital part of the background to the party meetings, Democracy Wall—a 200-metre-long brick structure in front of a bus depot west of Tiananmen Square. For a remarkable four months in the winter of 1978-79, until Deng decided to shut it down and jail some of its activists, citizens plastered the wall with posters calling for freedom and democracy.

例如，已经无人提及那次共党会议中一个至关重要的情况，那就是民主墙—一个位于天安门广场西侧汽车站前方，长达200米的砖体结构。1978年至 1979冬季，在这个不同寻常的四个月里，民众在该墙上贴满了呼吁自由和民主的大字报，直到邓小平决定封闭该墙并拘押了一些积极分子为止。
