Censors have struck the highway bridge from China’s mapping services. If you put in “Sitong Bridge,” the service says that there is no result.
- Role: subject
- In the book: A man disguised as a construction worker hangs two banners on the highway bridge, burns a tire, and is arrested. Censors then remove the bridge from mapping services.
- Why it matters: The erasure of the bridge from maps makes the place itself a symbol of censorship and individual courage.
