(5) Chinese students of the Tiananmen Movement

The Chinese students of the Tiananmen Movement
(The June fourth Incident 六四事件 )

The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 ended in The Tiananmen Square Massacre. It made the world shocked. Although this democratic movement in China did not success, it completely changed the international order of Eastern and Western political parties.
The people all over the world admire the Chinese students' movement.

Factual

It was a series of demonstrations in and near Beijing Tiananmen Square led by students in China between 15 Apr and 4 Jun 1989. The demonstrators appealed for anti-corruption, democracy and human rights without violence. The news of the movement was spread quickly across the land and the world. Many people supported the students. On 4 Jun early morning, China government ordered tanks to clear Tiananmen Square. The government military response to the event caused plenty of civilians and students dead or injured.

Influence

Even though the results of the Tiananmen Movement evolve into a tragedy, the democratic movement really affected the world, especially the Eastern European democratic development. The Communist Parties of Eastern European countries were soon collapsed by the civil democratic reforms. The political order of the world was totally altered.

I am so impressive by the behaviour of the Chinese students and civilians. They did make a crucial contribution to the world’s democratic movement.
Thank you for attantion!
