【新唐人2011年4月5日訊】《紐約時報》攝影記者杜斌繼《北京的鬼》之後，推出又一力作–《牙刷》。評論表示，這本書以解剖刀的鋒利、簡練的文字，揭露了共產極權對人類尊嚴底線的挑戰，它的野蠻殘暴程度，讓希特勒的納粹集中營黯然失色；是人類女性受難的紙上紀念碑。
《牙刷》是一本中英文對照的後現代小說，內容簡短但震撼人心。小說描述的是“西元9991年，共產主義統一了地球。國號牙刷帝國。掌權者廢除了所有的法律。並禁止國民公開討論法律。但仍有追求自由、民主、法治、尊嚴的人不甘被奴役。成立了一個名叫「公論法」的鬆散團體進行抗爭。”
《牙刷》用詩歌體的形式和後現代的文學手法，記錄了共產主義監獄對女性身體和尊嚴的踐踏。
杜斌（《牙刷》作者）：「其實我寫發生在9991年『牙刷帝國』統一地球的事情，就是要給生活在地球上用兩條腿走路的人類一個警醒—如果不制止類似的這種暴行，人類有一天真的會絕種。」
杜斌在《牙刷》序言中介紹：這本書所有文字基於女性殉難者和倖存者的證詞，來慟悼人類的滅絕。杜斌給出的人類末日答案，令人悚然心驚。《紐約時報》北京分社的一位記者在看了這本書之後深受震撼。
杜斌（《牙刷》作者）：「他當時…看的時候，他看一眼，就發出一聲歎息，一直到最後一頁。他說，我知道你為甚麼要寫這個，因為這書裡面發生的事情，我也親身聽一些受害者講述過。這位記者說，這本書給我的感受是『非常感動』。」
《牙刷》書中的“公論法”團體令人聯想到現實中的“法輪功”團體。而9991年令人聯想到1999年。書中描述的性酷刑，灌食，水牢的情景，也令人聯想到“法輪功”團體寫給聯合國的「中共迫害人權報告」。
對於作品和現實生活之間的映射，作者不予置評。他只說，寫這部作品是想給人類一個警醒。
法輪功是一個佛家信仰團體。1992年傳出後，修煉者數量迅速增長。1999年開始遭到中共鎮壓。
中國維權律師高智晟，在2005年發表了對法輪功學員的性酷刑報告。其中大連女士常學霞的證言中談到：監獄警察指使罪犯用水槽刷子反覆插入她的陰道，逼迫她放棄信仰。
高智晟律師在報告中說：“在政府針對自己的人民毫無人性的殘暴記錄中，其最持久的震盪著我的靈魂的不道德行為記錄，即是“610”人員及警察的、完全程序化的幾無例外的針對我們女同胞女性生殖器攻擊的下流行徑！…我們還尚存一絲體熱的民族成員，誰還有條件在這樣的真實面前沉默下去！？”

『Toothbrush』 – “A Wake-Up Call”
The New York Times photographer Du Bin
launched another important book, 『Toothbrush』,
following his book 『Ghost in Beijing』.
The sharp analysis and concise language of the book
exposes communist totalitarian』s challenges
to the basic human dignity. The described barbaric
brutality of communists is by far more cruel
than Hitler’s Nazi concentration camps.
This book is a paper monument for women victims.
『Toothbrush』 is a bi-lingual (Chinese and English)
post-modern novel. Short and touching, it describes
AD 9991 when communism unites the earth and
names the empire 『Toothbrush』. The authorities
abolish all laws and prohibit public law discussions.
But there are still people unwilling to be enslaved,
pursuing freedom, democracy, rule of law, dignity,
who set up a loose organization 『Public Opinion Law.』
『Toothbrush』 records physical and mental brutality
toward women in communist prisons, in a form of
poetry and with post-modern literary techniques.
Du Bin (Author, 『Toothbrush』): “In fact, I wrote
about Toothbrush Empire unifying the Earth in 9991
to give an alert to mankind. If we do not stop
this violence, humans will become extinct one day."
Du Bin wrote in the Preface of 『Toothbrush』:
“All words in the book are based on testimonies
from women martyrs and survivors, to mourn
the extinction of mankind.” Du』s answer
to the end of mankind is shocking and alarming.
A reporter of The New York Times, Beijing』s office
was deeply shocked after reading this book.
Du Bin: “When he was reading the book, he sighed
along until the last page. He said: 『I know why you
wrote this book, as I directly heard from victims
some facts described in the book.』 The reporter said
he felt 『deeply touched』 by this book.”
“Public Discussion Law, Gonglunfa” in 『Toothbrush』
is reminiscent of the present Falun Gong group, and
9991 is evocative of 1999. The book』s description
of, force-feeding, water dungeon and sexual torture
also reminds people of a report, titled
『CCP』s Persecution of Human Rights』 submitted to
United Nations by the Falun Gong group.
The author did not comment on the real life
reflection of this book. He said he just
wrote this book as a wake-up call to mankind.
Falun Gong is a Buddhist spiritual practice.
Since Falun Gong was spread to public in 1992,
the number of practitioners increased rapidly.
In 1999 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
started the persecution of Falun Gong.
In 2005, Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng
published a report on sexual torture of Falun Gong
practitioners. Chang Xuexia from Dalian City
stated in her testimony that under the prison guards
orders, prisoners have repeatedly inserted sink brush
in her genitals, forcing her to give up Falun Gong.
Gao said in his report: “Among the records of the
government』s inhumane and brutal torture toward its
people, the unethical behavior that shocked my soul
most is the 610 Office and its officers』 complete,
systematic and indecent attack on female genitals!…
For nationals who still have a trace of humanity –
who can remain silent facing such reality!?"
