Tiananmen Reflections

With the 20th anniversary of the bloody crackdown on the Tiananmen demonstrations just a few days away, several media outlets are re-examining the events of 1989 and their aftermath. After a glut of pieces on how little Chinese students know about that era, it is refreshing to hear from people who do remember. The New York Times has four pieces by some well-known Chinese authors, CNN has a take from exiled student leader Wu’er Kaixi and Reuters correspondent Andrew Roche writes about being detained by secret police in 1989.
