Thirty five years ago, on June 4, 1989, the Chinese government brutally crushed the protests in Tiananmen Square.
Zhou Fengsuo, a Tiananmen student leader whose activism landed him on China’s most wanted list, wants to make sure the world doesn’t forget what happened that day. It's an uphill battle, since the Chinese government has spent decades attempting to force the world to forget.
But Zhou also wants the world to understand that Tiananmen represents more than the violence that occurred there. It’s also a symbol of optimism and the fight for freedom in China.
“Tiananmen is important because it’s hope,” Zhou says. “It was the moment that we realized, and the world witnessed that Chinese people love freedom and democracy, and they are so willing to sacrifice their life for it.”
