Writer Wu Yisan is the founder of Hong Kong Five-Seven Society, an organization established in 2007 and dedicated to the collection, research and publishing of everything related to the Anti-Rightist campaign in 1957, to restore and present the truth about a period of history characterized by severe persecution of intellectuals. Over the years, Mr. Wu has devoted himself to compiling *[The Dictionary of Names of 1957 Victims](https://minjian-danganguan.org/collection/1957%E5%B9%B4%E5%8F%97%E9%9A%BE%E8%80%85%E5%A7%93%E5%90%8D%E5%A4%A7%E8%BE%9E%E5%85%B8)*. As the Chief Editor of The Hong Kong Five-Seven Society Publishing House, he also published *The Biographies of the 1957 Rightists* and *[New Biographies of the 1957 Rightists](https://minjian-danganguan.org/collection/%E2%80%9C%E4%BA%94%E4%B8%83%E2%80%9D%E5%8F%B3%E6%B4%BE%E5%88%97%E4%BC%A0%EF%BC%88%E4%B8%8A%EF%BC%89)*. This book is a collection of Wu’s political essays, including nearly one hundred of his published and unpublished essays and speeches between 1999 and 2017, including historical and current affairs analyses, with an emphasis on commentaries of persecuted intellectuals and political dissidents. These people are often called "traitors of China (han jian)" by CCP, but Wu Yisan argues that the CCP is the real traitor that betrays the country and its people. Our archive also hosts another anthology of his, *[Is Chen Yi a Good Comrade](https://minjian-danganguan.org/collection/%E6%AD%A6%E5%AE%9C%E4%B8%89%E6%94%BF%E8%AE%BA%E6%96%87%E9%9B%86%EF%BC%881%EF%BC%89)*?
