I'm a bit confused with 死缓。 The definition in our vocab' list is a "stay of execution", but I've looked up the term and found that it's described elsewhere as a form of sentence unique to China, wiki has it as "death sentence with 2 years probation" basically you're detained in custody for 2 years and only executed if you break any laws in prison, otherwise the sentence is commuted to life without.

Anyone clear this up please, which is it?

还有,南巡,这个词没有往来或者巡回那么皮深的意思。本人不知,是谁开始用 (也许是一位来自香港的记者,比如 Willy Lam。。。)但是,原来南巡是中国皇家时代用的—— 皇帝来南方巡回—— 。因此,党从来没有用过。

啊? “第二次革命” 吗?

那是说,大跃进和文化大革命不算革命吗?
