Touching, illustrated adaptation of a passage from the statement made by Nobel Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo during his trial in 2009. A humane statement and declaration of love in one.

The passage is basically a declaration of love to his wife Liu Xia, who was placed under house arrest by the Chinese authorities. The statement is recited by Salman Rushdie, Seamus Heaney, Ariel Dorfman, Mark Kilroy and Adam Shapiro.
