  • Tiananmen Square, in the heart of the Chinese capital Beijing, has been a place of enormous significance in modern Chinese history.
    For seven weeks in the spring and early summer of 1989, it was the focus of unparalleled protests by students and workers against the political and economic system, leading to a brutal government crackdown and international condemnation of the communist regime.

    I met my Chinese wife in Canada the same day as the crackdown started. Her father, an academic, was due to speak that day in the square. Plans were changed (he had also done his eight years re-education in the camps). the family has lived in Beijing FOREVER. (you don't move and in history, were not ALLOWED to move). China lost a lot of talent by going ballistic.

    My uncle was there on the square, he never talks about it but most university students at that time heeded the call and left after things began to accelerate.
    I went to the sites of protests in Shanghai this spring festival holiday while visiting my family, the place looked completely devoid of any signs of protest but there were no police around either.
    I only managed to drink to these brave people, who catalysts the ending of quarantine and loosened the chains on Chinese people. Hope a new age would begin soon.

The ones my family 2000kms away from Beijing heard was that over 10 thousand died immediately on the square. One of my aunts wanted to go but was pushed down by my grandma who feared that the students were used by a larger scheme, akin to the Red Guards. I honestly hope you are joking.

The moment they called out "罢免独裁国贼习近平“ they knew death was upon them. If you come from within the firewall and wishes to defend what you think is right, then open your eyes and hear what the CCP did. If you are a random person on the internet who wishes to defile the memories of those who fell, then you do not deserve any bit of human right you now own.

I don’t have rights no one has rights it’s just a power game the rich get richer the poor get poorer that is how it works in the United States. In this matter honoring these people is silly because protesting over a small matter is not brave or strong willing. China is not right for these actions but compared to other country’s especially the United States this doesn’t compare at all.

      @@CodyAdams-pf9un It's not often, but it happens from time to time. Famous examples are the French and Russian Revolutions. A more modern example was in 1989 in Romania, where the military mostly sided with the rebels and against the Communist Party and its leader Ceaușescu.
      In general, the people can not win against the government while the military stays loyal. If the military is split, or steps aside, then revolutions can succeed. Usually that happens when the army loses faith in the government due to severe economic suffering, sometimes with a military defeat.
      Another thing - the Tianmen protest was among the first the first in a large wave of protests against Communist governments. If it had happened a few years later, after the Soviet Union, along with a ton of other Communist Parties, then the protesters may have been more confident, and the soldiers more hesitant. But in june 1989 I think none had fallen yet, and it gave the CCP a sense of security.

    Title: The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests: A Defining Moment in Chinese History and Global Consciousness
    Introduction:
    The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, also known as the June 4th Incident, stands as a watershed moment in Chinese history and a potent symbol of people's aspirations for freedom, democracy, and human rights. This comprehensive article delves deep into the causes, progression, key events, aftermath, and lasting impact of the protests that shook Beijing and captured the attention of the world. By examining various perspectives, testimonies, and historical accounts, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal chapter in modern Chinese history.
    Section 1: Historical Background and Socio-political Climate
    1.1 China's Reform Era: Economic Reforms and Emerging Dissent
    1.2 Socio-political Climate in the Late 1980s: Rising Expectations and Grievances
    1.3 Intellectuals, Students, and Democratic Movements: Seeds of Protest
    Section 2: The Catalyst: Mourning Hu Yaobang and the Emergence of the Protests
    2.1 Hu Yaobang: A Reformer and Symbol of Hope
    2.2 Mourning Hu's Death: Intellectuals, Students, and the Call for Reforms
    2.3 From Mourning to Protest: Spontaneous Gatherings and the Formation of the Student-led Movement
    Section 3: Tiananmen Square Occupied: The Protest's Crescendo
    3.1 Growing Momentum: Students, Workers, and Intellectuals Unite
    3.2 A Sea of Protesters: The Occupation of Tiananmen Square
    3.3 The "Goddess of Democracy": Symbolism and International Solidarity
    3.4 Government Responses: Deng Xiaoping, Martial Law, and Failed Negotiations
    Section 4: The Tragic Turn: The Violent Suppression and the Loss of Lives
    4.1 Escalating Tensions: Martial Law and the Countdown to June 3rd
    4.2 The Bloody Crackdown: Military Force and the Attack on Protesters
    4.3 Massacre or Misperception? Unraveling the Events of June 3-4, 1989
    4.4 The Unknown Toll: Estimating the Casualties and the Silenced Voices

    5.2 International Repercussions: Diplomatic Fallout and Sanctions
    5.3 The Long Arm of the State: Suppression, Surveillance, and Control
    5.4 The Global Legacy of Tiananmen Square: Inspiring Activism and Defending Human Rights
    Section 6: Narratives and Perspectives: Diverse Voices on Tiananmen Square
    6.1 Eyewitness Accounts: Protesters, Journalists, and Survivors Share Their Stories
    6.2 The Chinese Government's Official Narrative: Maintaining Stability and "Correct" History
    6.3 Dissent and Memory: Artists, Intellectuals, and Activists Remember Tiananmen Square
    Conclusion:
    The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests reverberate through the annals of Chinese history, embodying the aspirations, struggles, and sacrifices of a generation that yearned for freedom and democracy. Despite the Chinese government's efforts to suppress information and silence discussions, the memory of Tiananmen Square endures as a symbol of the enduring human spirit and the relentless pursuit of justice. By understanding the causes, experiences, and aftermath of the protests, we not only honor the fallen but also contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding democracy, human rights, and the need for political reform in China and beyond.
