Cheng Lei: A Memoir of Freedom is the extraordinary true story of Australian-Chinese journalist Cheng Lei, whose life was upended when she was detained in China on false charges of espionage in August 2020. Lei, a prominent business anchor for China’s state-run English-language television, was arrested and disappeared from public view, spending over three years in harsh conditions, including solitary confinement and restricted contact with her family. Her memoir is a vivid, harrowing, and at times darkly humorous account of her arrest, trial, and survival, as well as a meditation on hope, freedom, and the resilience of the human spirit
