New music video from the Wuhan-based punk band SMZB. The song is based on a poem written by Lin Zhao, a student from Peking University, who was imprisoned for defending students, persecuted during Mao Zedong's Anti-Rightist Movement in the late 1950s. A gifted writer, Lin composed endless articles and poems from her cell. Forbidden to use pens, she wrote with a hairpin dipped in her own blood. In 1968 she was executed, her tragic life lost to the margins of history.
