Striking, horrifying and definitely thought-provoking, the story described the miserable life led by the people of London in 1984 under the rule of an totalitarian government. If the writer's hopelessness for the future had ever made one feel uneasy, the fictitious society's resemblance to China during cultural revolution had indeed made Chinese reader like me trembled in deep terror and fear. George Orwell, the author of 1984, was a true master of political novel and also a prophet that kept warning the world the presence of totalitarianism and its grim consequences. I am looking forward to reading his all-time masterpiece, animals farm, to learn more about the true meaning of freedom.
