Forbidden City by William Bell

Seventeen-year-old Alex Jackson comes home from school to find that his father, a CBC news cameraman, wants to take him to China's capital, Beijing.  Once there, Alex finds himself on his own in Tian An Men Square as desperate students fight the Chinese army for their freedom.  Separated from his father and carrying illegal videotapes, Alex must trust the students to help him escape.

Closely based on eyewitness accounts of the massacre in Beijing, Forbidden City is a powerful and frightening story.
W. Bell grew up in Newark, New Jersey. He is the son of Willie Bell and Cynthia Bell. They resided in a home there. We believed in education of individuals and systemic maintenance of the person. Individuals meaning people dedicated to the enrichment of the whole. The whole society as a plausible reality that besets inconsistencies. Passion meets persistence and virtue is not inaccessible. W. Bell went to parochial grammar school. It taught the value of the person and instilled possibility through empowerment. Enstooling greatness was an intricate facet of the institution. Daily preparation of our psychological pallets was made possible by hour long meetings in the morning. They sought our secrets and married our souls. In the sense that the learning provided stature and sense. Truth be told, W. Bell admired the teachers and appreciated the students. For all that is said, he appeared drawn and discomforted, but cared for his colleagues. He believes in the potentiality of persons and stewardship of the credible. During high school, management and religion took particular interest. Giving presentations and announcements were fulfilling. While acknowledging the acuity of the intellect and pursuit of dreams, the idea of communicating with others was a real gift. Judging perception and creativity became tantamount. Shooing right and deterring wrong can become oxymoronic, but all and all W. Bell overcame. The bedeviling nature of happenings is upon us and through our communications we give direction. Purpose speaks and poetry gives us an underlying understanding. Since remembrance, the best years, the college years, are resolute and awesome. W. Bell, an author, appreciates his audience and cares for humanity.
