Beijing Massacre in 1989

As one of many survivals in non-violent Tiananmen protests in Beijing 1989, I am often haunted by blood and bodies, and I would never forget brave Chinese citizens who defended their civil and political rights.

In March 2004, Ding Zilin, who lost her 17-year-old son in the 1989 massacre, worried about losing traces of the lost victims in Beijing Massacre because of Relocation of Beijing Olympics. For more information you can visit Ding Zilins sorrow and the appeal (note that this is a site in Chinese language)

She documented deaths in Beijing Massacre 1989 and made contact with bereaved parents or relatives. They co- built a network: Tiananmen Mothers. For more information you can visit Support the Tiananmen Mothers.

The book, A Revelation of the Truth of the Tiananmen Massacre in 1989, provides details of Beijing Massacre 1989, such as:

  • Whether any death occurred in Tiananmen Square during that time; -- This book told us how Dai Jinping, a student from Beijing Agricultural University, and Cheng Renxing, a student from Peoples University of China were killed in the square.
  • How the martial law army and police had removed the bodies and destroyed the evidences so that a lot of people just disappeared and no one knows whether they are alive or dead
  • From which direction each martial law troop and tasks moved in, and how they carried out martial law orders
