A Peaceful People Movement in Tian'anmen Square 1989

In the Spring of 1989, millions of Chinese citizens took their frustration to the street, demonstrating and demanding for reform and crackdown on the wide-spread corruptions at all levels of the Chinese government. It started on Beijing's university campuses and quickly became a national movement -- from coastal provinces, metropolitan areas to the heartland and remote regions.

All walks of life joined in as the international media and the world community watched. The sea of flags in Tian anmen Square, the statue of Goddess of Democracy, and smiling faces of the young and old made history.
