" The Tiananmen Square protests" of 1989, also known as the "Tiananmen Square Massacre" and the "June 4th Incident", or colloquially, "Six-four" (Chinese: 六四) by the Chinese public, most college students, and as the Political Turmoil between Spring and Summer of 1989 by the government of the People's Republic of China, were a series of demonstrations led by college students, intellectuals and labour activists in the People's Republic of China between April 15, 1989 and June 4, 1989. The protest ended in tragedy when China army and tanks open fire to the students. Intelligence report received by the Soviet politburo estimated that thousands students were killed. Today, China authorities,denying all the accusation against millitary suppression, still treats the peaceful protest in 1989 as a rebellion and declares studens involved treason while those who dare to speak for them also guilty. see more at wiki "Tiananmen Square protests 1989" en.wikipedia.org

How Rafsanjani chose Khamenei in 1989 Seyyed Ali Khamene'i succeeded Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, after Khomeini's death, being elected as the new Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts on June 4, 1989. Initially, a council of three members, Ali Meshkini, Mousavi Ardabili and Khamenei, was proposed for Leadership. After the assembly rejected the idea of a Leadership Council, and Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Reza Golpaygani failed to get enough votes, Khamenei was elected the Supreme Leader by two thirds of the votes.

NBC Miami published this video along with an article yesterday, one day after the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. The original video and article can be found here: www.nbcmiami.com The fate of the Tank Man has long been debated. I myself have often times wondered what happened to this man, the unnamed individual who spoke for all those silenced in the aftermath of June 4, 1989. He became an inspiration to millions worldwide, and has changed lives forever. This new video, submitted anonymously to documentary producer Rhawn Joseph, may prove to shed some light on the mystery behind his fate. This version contains 7 more seconds of footage than what has normally been seen, and shows what happened after he was frantically taken aside by whom we do not know--worried friends, or plain-clothed Public Security Bureau officers? We will never forget. ----------------------------- A new photograph of the Tank Man has also surfaced on the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. Taken by Terril Jones, this photograph is different from the other well-known four, all of which were taken from a hotel overlooking the street. Jones' photograph shows the scene from a ground-view perspective, showing the chaos on the street as bystanders run from the fire of soldiers. Meanwhile, the Tank Man holds his ground, even as the column of tanks rumble forward in what is to be one of the most iconic moments in history. The photograph and an accompanying article can be found here: lens ...

父女(星島日報報道)慧儀要參加「六四燭光晚會」。 她相信「六四事件」並不是一場暴亂，而是學生爭取民主、反貪腐的運動。 慧儀的母親知道女兒要參加「六四燭光晚會」，立即緊皺眉頭：「慧儀，你參加那些活動，可能令爸爸不高興，你要知道他在內地有生意的，若開罪了中央領導，以後的日子便不好過，不如不去集會好麼？」 慧儀立即扳着臉說：「媽，你教我堅持原則，不為個人利益而動搖，可爸爸現在動搖了。」 媽媽立即為爸爸辯護：「當年對『六四』認識不深，爸爸才帶着我去遊行；現在認識深了，我們體諒國家也有其難處。爸爸回來，千萬別提『六四』或燭光晚會，給人家知道他的女兒出席燭光晚會，他一定非常生氣」 慧儀質問：「要求平反『六四』是件很正義的事件，為甚麼爸爸會反對呢？難道為了賺錢，可以埋沒良知麼？」 就在這時爸爸回來了，慧儀立即問：「爸爸，你怎麼看『六四事件』？」 他輕歎一聲說：「這是一場有學生參與的暴亂，幸好中央及時平定，不然國家可能四分五裂。都二十年了，還問這個幹甚麼？」 她搖頭說：「這兩年我看了不少關於『六四事件』的資料，大多數的資料顯示軍人曾開槍，坦克曾輾過學生的肢體這是事實啊！」 他不以為然：「你沒有經歷過當日的情況，何以那麼肯定？」 她機智地說：「爸爸，我們沒到過月球，卻知道月球表面是怎麼樣。你不能說我當年沒參與過，便不明白內情。」 他一臉不悅：「『六四』發生時，你還在媽媽腹裏，你憑甚麼要求『平反六四』？」 慧儀有點生氣：「憑我的良知和看書，我便掌握了六四事件的始末。爸爸，你當了議員，也用不着處處維護中央政府。我們欠的就是良知。」 他一再反對女兒參加集會，但女兒已二十歲，他只能據理力爭，愈近六四，兩人爭論愈烈。 最後，他說：「若要去晚會，便不要回來。」 慧儀輕咬下唇，頭也不回走了。 (依心集曾繁光 ...
