Louisa Lim: 2014 National Book Festival
Wednesday, 27 August, 2014
David Taylor from the Library of Congress speaks with Louisa Lim, who will appear at the 2014 National Book Festival on August 30 in Washington, D.C.BiographyLouisa Lim is an NPR international correspondent based in Beijing. In her book “The People’s Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited,” Lim uncovers a tragedy from China’s modern history that has been untold for nearly 25 years. Through eyewitness accounts and investigative research, she explores the disastrous events of June 4, 1989, when People’s Liberation Army soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians in Beijing, killing hundreds of people.
