Ding sobbed audibly when talking about her dead son.
“It is my son’s death that helped me to step out of the stupidity and ignorance that the Communist Party culture had molded into me, and allowed me to regain my self-esteem and conscience as a human being,” Ding said.
“Whenever I think about it, all these were exchanged for my son’s life and blood, I feel pain and regret,” she said. “The only thing I can do to make up for it is to try my best and soldier on, notwithstanding the difficulties.”
