"The Man Who Stayed Behind" is the remarkable story of Sidney Rittenberg, an American student activist and labour organiser who joined the military, became fluent in Chinese, was sent to China by the U.S. military in the 1940s, became caught up in the turbulence that engulfed that country, and remained there until the late 1970s. Here he tells how he argued dogma with Mao Zedong, mused philosophy with Zhou Enlai, and danced with Mao's wife, Jiang Qing. But he also gives a harrowing account of his struggle over madness and despair in prison during six years in solitary confinement on trumped-up spy charges. A decade later he was sent back to be confined alongside other political prisoners who fell afoul of the dominant faction during the Cultural Revolution. There is also the touching love story of Rittenberg's Chinese wife, Yulin, who pledged to wait for ten years for the man she loved. Both a memoir and a documentary history of the Chinese revolution from 1949 through the Cultural Revolution, "The Man Who Stayed Behind" provides a human perspective on China's efforts to build a new society. Critical of both his own mistakes and those of the Communist leadership, Rittenberg offers both a compelling personal story and a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of some of the most profound political and moral issues of the twentieth century.

评分在中国35年，入狱16年，从不曾后悔，“其赤子之心居然毫发无损”。 我想现在读这本书的人大多都很难理解李敦白的想法了。一个美国人，不远万里来到中国，帮助中国人的革命，这是什么精神？傻子精神！大家潜意识里都会有这个回答吧。他一个美国人，好好的活着比什么不好，要来趟...

It’s about Chinese history from 1940s to 1980s. But I think it’s more authentic and attractive than any of the history books we’ve been taught in schools, because it’s a man’s own experience as the only foreign communist in the Chinese communist party.He lived and worked at Yanan caves with Mao, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi--------
评分写的真好，厚厚的一大本几天就读完了，李敦白有很多反思非常诚恳，还有他的中国老婆真的是他的救赎。他说这本书是写给她的真的不是盖的，我觉得没有姚玉林真的李敦白也不太可能从他的遭遇里走出了，这一段挺感人的。
