He was also a political operative whosecareer as an underground and aboveground Communist activist spanned the twentieth century andthe globe. This book draws on unique interviews, beginning in 1979, with Chen himself, his family andassociates, along with an exhaustive examination of documents, writings, and archives, to build arounded portrait of Chen, the man, and his world.‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐“Stephen MacKinnon’s lifetime study of eminent social scientist and Communist Chen Hanshengmakes for an absorbing, thrilling, and illuminating read. This product of decades of researching Chen,and of years of discussions with him, MacKinnon shows us how one enterprising and creative scholarbecame dedicated to the cause, worked for it, and then ended his life sad and angry about whatbecame of the Chinese Communist Party in power.”—Hans van de Ven,

你在年月洗刷的生活中，弄丟了自己的靈魂嗎？這本書提供二十個生活行動指南，是身體和靈魂的同步練習，互為陪伴。 本書作者為藝術家梁祖賢，她以極細緻的感官體驗，解構我們在生活中以為必然如此的框架。這些生活行動，啟於作者2021年在重慶駐村時所構想的一場「簡單身體運動」的創作：「藝術家索性借用『眼耳鼻舌身意』的六識概念，直接體驗，在過程中以一系列行為建立相互關係，關係即是意義，行動即是表達。最終呈現為這場『簡單身體運動』。」（胡燕子，2021年12月）在胡燕子的文字中，說明了作者在這一系列的身體行動中，與所在之地發生的關係，意義的聯繫亦存在於此。爾後，梁祖賢將內容和趣味更加擴展，成為人人可參與的生活行動。無論是「在樓梯間走動直至身體發熱」（《像是西西弗斯》）、「無意識地讀圓周率」（《發聲練習》）或是「想像自己是自己的寵物上街散步」（《我是寵物》）等，都能暫緩生活速度、離開各種緊張的功利，放鬆心情，並將身體作為靈魂的陪伴者來依存，無論所在何地，都試圖在這些關係裡尋找生命要義。 ★靈光多久沒出現在你腦海中？ ★我們是否還能遇到「與日常相似卻又有些不同」的時刻？ ★或者根本不為了尋找什麼，身體就跟著單純地活動，陪伴靈魂休息。《身體陪伴靈魂的二十個生活行動》是指南，也是起點。 ◆ 本書包含三本書冊以及二十張行動卡牌。◆ ◆如何參與——20張卡牌，20個日常生活的行動指引◆ 1.把本書附贈的二十張卡牌拆下。 2.任意抽起一張。 3.進行卡牌上的行動。 4.品味，並紀錄這段「未知卻安穩」的體驗。名人推薦 ◆ 推薦語◆ ►吳衛鳴，藝術家 看了這本小書，大家也許開始接受：身體既屬於自己，有時亦浮游於意識之外的這一事實。 作者以自身為藍本，向我們提供一連串足以穿越無常表象、讓自我身體得以重新解讀的感知解碼。 此際，當代嬗變環境中逐漸消失的「自我存在」，藉以再次獲得了確認。 ►李銳俊，石頭公社創始人 這是藝術家的一次思索之旅，也是她的「超前部署」，以行動實踐思考的路徑。Step by Step，這些逐漸向內，愈行愈深的自我練習，也是應對外在世界，學習與自己面對面，回歸己心的練習。既是得著，同時也學習捨棄。她希望我們不要忘記的是：即使世界紛擾，生命的詮釋權仍請緊握在自己手中。 ►米哈，香港作家 一本關於身體的習作，更是送給靈魂的禮物。 ►魂游，藝術家 昔
