It was in no doubt, a massacre to begin with. Many students and people of China didn’t like the government, and they wanted to Protest for what they believed in. They believed the government had no right, and they felt they needed more freedom. As thousands joined together in Tiananmen Square, they soon found that it was a terrible mistake from the start.
Thousands of people left their normal lives, to come to the heart of Beijing and protest to something they truly believed in. As they covered the square protesting against the government, the government pulled out the military because it was getting “out of hand”. The protester even started a Hunger strike, to show the government that they were going to starve to death, giving China a bad reputation worldwide. When that wasn’t enough, the military surrounded Beijing. That didn’t scare the people, until the first shot was heard. Many fell dead around the others, but some stood firm.
As a result of this tragic massacre, thousands died to what they believed would change China for good. Number of death was unknown, but knowing that plenty of innocent people, died for the demands of free media in China. But without this “Incident” China would not be the standing power it is today.
