Student activist, Wang Dan, Beijing University

With the success of some limited Chinese style capitalism, many Chinese began to seek greater freedoms. In 1989, students organized a protest calling for the Chinese government to allow more free speech and to open China to democracy. These students met in Tiananmen Square in the heart of Beijing.

Challenged by the civilian population of Beijing who were supporting their students, the Chinese tanks moved in, and over, Chinese citizens.

700 – 3000 Chinese people died in the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Many lost their lived because the open square was so packed with people, they couldn't move the crowd away from the advancing tanks.
