'I have a very close relationship with intellectuals, and the government want to label these protests as provoke by intellectuals.' tiananmensquare
GERMANTOWN: In May 1989, Wang Dan was 20 years old. With a megaphone held up to his thin face, which was in part masked by his large glasses, he rallied the pro-democracy crowds in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
Ultimately, early on June 4, 1989, Chinese tanks and soldiers crushed the movement, killing hundreds, and by some estimates more than 1,000. “I had a very close relationship with intellectuals, and the government wanted to label these protests as provoked by intellectuals.” He tried to make it back to the square with other students on bicycles, but “every street was blocked by the police and the soldiers,” he recounted.The scale of the bloodshed – the real toll is still a mystery – left Wang devastated.
“Life in jail in my case is not very representative, because my case is very special. I drew a lot of international attention about my situation, so they treated me ok,” he said.
