內容簡介
Li Xiaofeng's story: \"Rocks and sticks roared over our headsand past our shoulders. I knew it was time to resort to weapons.One of the windows had been broken open, and a young manbrandishing a meter-long iron bar was leaping onto the windowsill.I grabbed the bar and easily threw him down. Then I lifted the barand pretended to hit him. The young man scrambled away. With thisinitial success, I turned to other people with the iron bar. Myparmer had also put down an attacker. The crowd saw how- quick anddetermined we were. They knew it was impossible to get into theflat without defeating us. For a moment, nobody moved.\" (P40)

He pointed out that the Deputy Commissionerhad raised an unreasonable request, which he couldn't carry out.The officialfrozeand stared at the short Chinese, as if unable tounderstand how he could be so bold.
