"Romantic fantacy of suffering can only be dispelled by suffering in reality."




"Romantic fantacy of suffering can only be dispelled by suffering in reality."
~MANIFESTO OF HUNGER STRIKE

As tomorrow is the anniversary of those significant events in China in 1989, I though I'd post this video.  I don't know who did the song, but I though it was very interesting.  Plus, there is some footage of things that you don't normal see in here.

The BBC has been going over the protests and have some good articles from journalists who were in China at the time and what they think when they look back:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8057762.stm
as well as comments from young persons in China (born mid-1980s and beyond) and what they know and think about the events: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8061483.stm
