Remembering Tiananmen 20 Years Later
It was 20 years ago today that students were killed in Tiananmen Square for their pro-democracy protests. I just started a journey of self discovery and my ideas of freedom were changed that day. That image of the now infamous tank confrontation was burned into my memory. I discovered freedom is not free afterall but something worth laying your whole life down on the line for.
Came across this quote from Sojourners citing The New York Times. Wow.
Liu Suli, who served 20 months in prison for his role in the pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, “his fellow Chinese have made a devil’s bargain, trading the freedom that he and his fellow protesters sought for a chance at a car and a bigger apartment.”
