The 1989 prodemocracy movement in the People's Republic of China
and the subsequent crackdown were marked by many dramatic
reversals. Supported at first by several thousand Beijing
University students, the movement quickly attracted millions of
followers and developed into a nationwide mass movement. The
jubilant mood during the short-lived freedom in Tiananmen Square
turned into despair over the unnecessary bloodshed. The event
raised many deeply disturbing questions: Was the massacre necessary
and justified? What is the historical significance of this
movement? Which path will the PRC follow in the decade ahead?
Although no one had anticipated the tragic outcome, the popular
unrest was not totally unexpected. When I read the news of 200,000
Beijing students and residents, in open defiance of the
government's order, staging a largescale demonstration on Apri120,
I knew a confrontation between the people and the government was
inevitable.
