Even the preparation for our visit, which was confirmed less than 24 hours before it began, was somewhat Orwellian. Detailed packing instructions were issued, informing us that we could not bring radios, mobile phones, wireless devices, printed materials, photos, cassette tapes, or DVDs.
就连针对我们的访问的准备工作——大约在访问行程开始前不到24小时才获得批准——也有点奥威尔风格。我们得到了详尽的物品说明，被告知不能携带收音机、移动电话、无线设备、印刷材料、照片、磁带和DVD。
