Remembering Tiananmen (Chinese Simplified ePub eBook)

For more than six weeks during the springs of 1989, Chinese people from all walks of life, young and old, rose up to demand greater freedom and an end to official corruptions. The protests on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and the eventual military crackdown are recalled here by Dan Southerland, The Washington Post bureau chief at the time. His wife Muriel shot the video and many of the still photos included in this book. What followed for three student leaders as well as other central figures is the subject of a final section titled “Where are they now?”
