Remember Tiananmen!
Fifteen years ago, on June 4, 1989 the Butchers of Beijing showed their true colours and lost patience with the student movement's calls for freedom and democracy in Tiananmen square. The army turned its weapons on the freedom-loving students, and murdered hundreds (if not thousands). The book Tiananmen Papers tells the inside story, using documents apparently leaked by "party members" who dislike the way of the Butchers. The picture of one lonely man facing, and fleetingly blocking, a column of tanks was, and still is, striking. I hope this heroic man is still alive and will enjoy the Blessings of Liberty in his life; may his courage serve as an example for all generations to come.
