From the Publisher
1989年，中国北京的大学生走向街头，向自己的独裁政府挑战。在短短的两个月里，这场波澜壮阔的学生运动从和平请愿逐步演化为忠诚的反抗，最后在面对军队镇压时发展成要求共产党政府垮台的抗议。这本书是那一段壮美日子的叙事体历史，她记下了当时学生经历盛大游行的喜悦、长时间绝食的苦痛、领导层的内斗、茫然和失落，以及对大屠杀的极度愤慨。
这个引人入胜的故事在本书中第一次得到完整、系统的叙述。

This review is from: Standoff at Tiananmen (Chinese Language, Simplified Character Edition) (Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
I've known the author through an online forum that we frequent. He is an honest person with integrity. He also helps expose academic corruptions in China. He promoted his book a few years ago, but I didn't have a chance to read it. Finally a friend's birthday came up and I decided that my friend needs to read this book. I bought two, one for my friend and one for me.
The book is worth the money, and I really enjoyed reading it. In the book, the author narrates the student movements in a neutral, unbiased and fact-based way, yet the events he describes were fascinating and sometimes very moving. As I read the book, it brought me back to those days when we enjoyed our freedom and speeches against a corrupt dictatorship. Those wonderful days were gone and would never come back. Though the book is mainly about the Tiananmen Movement in 1989, the author has captured all the important student movements during the 1980s, re-staged them chronically through the participating students and scholars, and led the readers back to the earlier democratic movements such as Xidan Wall Movement in 1978, April 5th Movement (another Tiananmen Movement) in 1976. During the Tiananmen movement, many democratic leaders and organizations emerged. Many famous people made public announcements of their supports for the students. It would be great but very hard for the author to write about all of them. Though the author has put a lot of efforts to include as many people as possible, he focuses his book on the student leaders and a few scholars who played roles in the campuses and Tiananmen square. The author doesn't make any comment or criticism on anyone or any side, which makes it an excellent history book for anyone who either wants to learn the history of student movements or has already known about it. The only shortcoming of this book is the he doesn't write much about the government officials who deeply got involved, especially Zhao Ziyang (Party Secretary General), Li Peng (Premier) and Yuan Mu (Press Secretary of State Council). The latter two were the most notorious and hated persons in the nation.
