Chinese students march peacefully to Tiananmen Square on May 4, 1989, to protest government corruption, authoritarian-ism, and lack of econom-ic opportunities. One of their manifestos would read: "The nation is in crisis -- beset by rampant inflation, illegal dealing by profiteering officials, abuses of power, corrupt bureaucrats, the flight of good people to other countries and deteriora-tion of law and order. Compatriots, fellow coun-trymen who cherish mo-rality, please hear our voices!”
