today is the twentieth anniversary of the massacre at tiananmen square.

i was only nine years old (and recovering from a car accident) but remember hearing about the tragedy on the news. twenty years later i wonder about the impact of the sacrifice that hundreds of thousands of students made for human rights. what do the younger generations who were not yet born think of the peaceful protests and subsequent extermination of students and workers calling for human rights in china.

i found an interesting short documentary on the state military action in tiananmen square on youtube.
