1989, Here’s a decent video if you want more info on what happened at that time. The newspaper somehow published a photo of bodies being carried away from the square. The communist party had to dispatch people to go and round up all the copies of the paper, the photo caption didn’t even indicate what was the event. I don’t think people in China would recognize it since it is not allowed, Westerners possibly know more about this event than Chinese. Here’s the story from the China Media Project.

These kinds of stories are like no others. You would think that standing up for oppressed and persecuted people is the normal and natural reaction of free people, but the temptation of corruption combined with information restrictions end up making educated, moral stances so very rare.
I really want the Chinese people to be free and I want the dissident, innocent, true patriots to have their voice and dignity recognized. I don’t think the masses of Chinese who support the CCP know or care about the people who are treated so unjustly, they make all kinds of excuses. Anyway, maybe due to them always being reminded of the Holocaust, they have a stronger sense of right and wrong.
Go Germany!!!
