Zhao was not killed, but allowed to live in an old Beijing courtyard house with his family. He was let out from time to time, but under guard like a zoo animal, to go to some spa or to play solitary holes of golf, one of the many manifestations of “bourgeois liberalization” that his reform efforts allowed to leak through China’s once hermetic seal.
赵没有被杀，而是与家人一道在老北京的四合院里继续过活。有时他获准外出泡温泉或一个人打高尔夫，这是他所倡导的改革运动带进原本封闭中国的一种“资产阶级自由化”现象，但外出的时候他要像动物园里的野兽一样受到监视。
