The Day China Cried: A Witness to the June 4th Massacre

This is my updated memoir about my experiences during the 1989 prodemocracy movement in China and the events that include the June fourth Massacre (also called the Tiananmen Square Massacre and the Beijing Massacre). The event now lives in history, and it is an event that shall always be remembered by the people not only in Beijing, where the massacre took place, but in every major city in China by those who participated in the prodemocracy movement. I had originally gone to China to document everyday life. This became overshadowed by this incredible mass movement that would take place not only in Beijing but in every major city in China as students were joined by young people, workers, and people of almost every profession in a call for drastic reform against corruption, inequality, and the growing division between rich and poor.
