On March 1, 2010, dissident writer Liao Yiwu (廖亦武) was taken off a plane bound for Beijing by police in Chengdu; he was en route to Germany, where he had planned to fly on his way to attend lit.Cologne, a literature festival. Liao then was interrogated at a local police station for several hours. Upon his release, he was told not to leave his house “during this period.” In response, Liao, the author of the internationally-acclaimed The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories: China from the Bottom Up,issued a public letter to his German readers, whom he had hoped to meet at the festival.
