Tiananmen Square 1989 Massacre

Today is the 20th anniversary of man against the machine. Free human spirit instead of government control. Reason and peace rather than ignorance and violence. Unfortunately, all that remains of most of that revolutionary spirit is shrouded by government domination and the desire for more and more products for sale and consumption.

These days most Chinese students have never even heard of what happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Do a search in Google at google.cn and you will find no results relating to the massacre – thanks Google for your censorship – money is more important than human rights and the truth for Google. One thing is certain, the government is doing an excellent job of covering up the events while rewriting history and most people are too captivated by bread and circuses.

The anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests says much about the current affairs of China, but one might also want to relect upon what it reveals regarding ones own government and the scarcity of the revolitionary spirit in our own people.
