For the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown, I keep thinking of all the dissidents who had paid prices for daring to commemorate the event in 2014 for the 25th anniversary and how much China has changed in the past 5 yrs.pic.twitter.com/MqIXis3AJS
There’s almost nothing on the Chinese Internet about June 4th, even in small Wechat groups.Some of my Wechat groups that tend to talk about current affairs were blocked in the past week, and organizers will usually wait until after this week to restart. This is China in 2019.
To mention a few people in the photo, @puzhiqiang & @gaoyu200812 had spent jail time.Pu lost his lawyer license.Qin Hui,the most brilliant Chinese historian,was forced to retire from Tsinghua.Liang Xiaoyan stopped dying her hair because she didn't want to show up on TV half grey
If you watched the documentary The Gate of Heavenly Peace, Liang is the beautiful, eloquent young woman. They were all young and active in the 1989 protests&paid tremendous personal prices in the past 30 years. Now there's almost no space for dissent. This is China in 2019.
The left one, Pu Zhiqiang put into prison. The center one, Qing Hui flee to teach at HK... what do we expect to see in another 5 years?
