No matter how hard the Chinese Communist Party has tried to erase the tragic events that took place on June 4, 1989, they are and will forever remain part of a history they have yet to face.

With the sixteenth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre approaching, I decided to reproduce a few selections from various sources. Unfortunately, there aren't any online references to link to. So, I have reproduced excerpts from the original publications for use here on The Horses Mouth.

The first selection was written by Yang Jianli, a former doctoral student in mathematics at the University of California. It was first published in Children of the Dragon: The Story of Tiananmen Square, by Human Rights in China (1990). It is an eyewitness account of one of the bloodiest confrontations, as troops moved from the west down the Avenue of Eternal Peace toward Tiananmen Square.

Thought I would add this since it is on topic. No doubt there are posters on forums all around the internet explaining away these "troublemakers".
