Deposed Chinese leader Zhao Ziyang’s memoir is released ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown in Hong Kong Thursday, May 14, 2009. The memoir of the Chinese leader who fell from power for sympathizing with Tiananmen Square pro-democracy demonstrators in 1989 has been published ahead of the 20th anniversary of the military crackdown that ended the protests. The 300-page book, “Prisoner of the State,” was crafted over four years from secret tapes recorded by Zhao Ziyang, who lived under house arrest for 15 years before he died in 2005.
