英文简介:
A National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize finalist Named one of the best books of the year by: THE NEW YORK TIMES * THE WASHINGTON POST * THE ECONOMIST * TIME A poet’s account of one of the world’s most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family’s escape from genocide One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil’s friends disappeared.
The Chinese government’s brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale.
The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century, amplified by China’s establishment of an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state.
Over a million people have vanished into China’s internment camps for Muslim minorities.
Tahir, a prominent poet and intellectual, had been no stranger to persecution.
After he attempted to travel abroad in 1996, police tortured him until he confessed to fabricated charges and sent him to a re-education through labor camp.
But even having endured three years in the camp, he could never have predicted the Chinese government’s radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later.
Was the first sign when Tahir was interrogated for hours after a phone call with a fellow poet in the Netherlands? Or when his old friend was sentenced to life in prison simply for calling for Uyghurs’ legal rights to be enforced? Perhaps it was when the police seized Uyghurs’ radios and installed jamming equipment to cut them off from the outside world.
Once Tahir noticed that the park near his home was nearly empty because so many neighbors had been arrested, he knew the police would be coming for him any day.
One night, after Tahir’s daughters were asleep, he placed by his door a sturdy pair of shoes, a sweater, and a coat so that he could stay warm if the police came for him in the middle of the night.
It was clear to Tahir and his wife that fleeing the country was the family’s only hope.
Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil’s homeland.
Among leading Uyghur intellectuals and writers, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began.
His book is a call for the world to awaken to the unfolding catastrophe, and a tribute to his friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced.
中文简介:
国家书评人协会约翰·伦纳德奖决赛入围者被《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》、《经济学人》、《时代周刊》评为年度最佳图书之一一位诗人对世界上最紧迫的人道主义危机之一的描述和一个悲惨的故事一个家庭逃离种族灭绝的故事 塔希尔·哈姆特·伊兹吉尔的朋友们一一失踪。
中国政府对维吾尔族人民的残酷迫害已经持续多年，但在2017年，其规模达到了新的可怕程度。
维吾尔族是中国西部一个以穆斯林为主的少数民族，他们正在经历二十世纪最严重的恐怖，而中国建立的全视高科技监控国家更是加剧了这种恐怖。
超过一百万人消失在中国的穆斯林少数民族拘留营中。
塔希尔是一位著名的诗人和知识分子，他对迫害并不陌生。
1996年他试图出国后，警察对他实施酷刑，直至他承认捏造的罪名，并将他送入劳教所。
但即使在拘禁营里度过了三年，他也无法预料到二十年后中国政府会彻底解决维吾尔问题。
塔希尔在与荷兰一位诗人同事通电话后被审问了几个小时，这是第一个迹象吗？或者当他的老朋友仅仅因为呼吁维吾尔人的合法权利得到执行而被判处终身监禁时？也许是警察没收了维吾尔人的收音机，并安装了干扰设备，切断了他们与外界的联系。
当塔希尔注意到他家附近的公园几乎空无一人时，他知道警察随时都会来抓他。
一天晚上，塔希尔的女儿们睡着后，他在门口放了一双结实的鞋子、一件毛衣和一件外套，以便在警察半夜来抓他时可以保暖。
塔希尔和他的妻子很清楚，逃离这个国家是这个家庭唯一的希望。
《夜间等待被捕》讲述了塔希尔·哈穆特·伊兹吉尔的祖国遭受政治、社会和文化破坏的故事。
在维吾尔族主要知识分子和作家中，他是自大规模拘留开始以来唯一已知逃离中国的人。
他的书呼吁世界认识到这场正在发生的灾难，并向他的朋友和声音被压制的维吾尔同胞致敬。
