When I went to the labor camp in Tsing Hai I felt very hopeless because such camps do not accept those sentenced to death but only those who have been detained indefinitely. No matter how many years you were imprisoned there, all were endless. Being sent there was the same as letting you decide for yourself whether to go on or die.
到青海德令哈農場時，我感覺非常絕望，因為青海監獄是不接受死刑犯的，只接受無期徒刑之類的重刑犯，到那邊坐牢不管多少年，都是遙遙無期，送你到這兒來，等於是讓你自生自滅。
