Beijing Student Movement in 1989

The Beijing Student Movement in 1989 was the largest, the longest, the most widely supported, and the most peaceful student movement in the history of the world.Demonstrations across the country led to twenty PLA Group Armies marching into Beijing to suppress the peaceful protesters brutally. The suppression, which at that time shocked the entire civilized society worldwide and embarrassed the communist dictatorship in the semi-civilized Soviet and Eastern Europe, is the bloodiest and most notorious suppression in world history and military history.The movement did not lead to a change in China's political system, but it indirectly led to the disintegration of the communist system in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, ultimately leading to the end of the Cold War and a new world political and economic order. This book records in detail all the major events that occurred in Beijing from April 15 to June 4, 1989, on a daily basis.For the convenience of readers who understand Chinese, this book is organized in English-Chinese bilingual format. For Chinese names, place names, and special nouns in the Chinese political system, this is especially necessary since it is easy to cause misunderstandings.
