Doctor Gao (高耀潔) introduced her new book《血災：10000封信》 in US instead of China. By keeping the numerous catastrophic precedents in mind, like 譚作人's investigation of the Sichan Earthquake, doctor Gao's decision could not be described as inexpedient.
Chinese intellectuals are always pathetic. Except some of the very special time, say 春秋戰國 and 魏晉南北朝, the element of "independency" could hardly be discovered in their blood. Intellectuals are usually annexed to the aristocracy. Thus, if you are not working for those holding the power, distinctive sufferance will be followed. As we can see, two of the just pass-away giants, 楊憲益 and 王世襄, were tormented badly during the cultural revolution.
Thus, as doctor Gao insisted that the figure of AIDS patients should be well beyond the official-uttered 740,000, she was challenging her mother nation. If she did not depart for US, the label of subversion would have been casted on her. The efficient legal system of China would hand down and execute any judgment they like, by defying all overseas protest.
By renouncing the devil, doctor Gao made the right decision. To raise the genuine concern of AIDS patients in China to the world, in the expenses of her own, doctor Gao is the real hero and patriot. She deserves the Noble peace prize than the present laureate, so much more.
