Answer 4

Chinese students, most of them at the college level, began demonstrating for a democractic government. The movement lasted for a few months and grew larger as the government didn't respond. The Chinese government was and is communist, not democratic, and appeared to be ignoring the students and, possibly, in fear of an uprising. The movement came to a head in Tianamin Square. The government sent in troops when thousands of students demonstrated openly and vigorously, demanding democratic reforms. The demonstration end in numerous students being shot and killed and many more being jailed. There are no accurate figures accounting for either the killed or the jailed students.

Answer 5

It is historically a powerful place. First the Chinese government executed a lot of decent yound students; just cos it was easy to do and the gov wanted rid of them. And secondly, the world was aghast, and then one young student stood in front of a massive procession of tanks and would not move. Obviously the tank commanders had been ordered not to shoot for the boy was left alone. But like it was kind of awesome to see one small person standing against the full might of the Chinese Army.

Well, student protested arrest of one of their teachers. From this it turned in to full scale protest for over 10 days. One of the most significant and memorable incident is that a student stood firm in from of a tank and made the tank stop. When a tank drivertried to go around, the student kept positioning himself in front of the tank. This was the most symbolic defiance of communist part ruling.

Answer 9

when? im sure many things happen there all the time, maybe a tourist just got pigeon poop on his/her head. If you are talking about the "student massacre" or rebellion or whatever, well some students thought to see how much damage their bodies would to a tank if they stood in front of it and let it run them over. maybe a couple got shot too. basically it was a protest that got out of hand

Answer 10

Basically, a bunch of students were protesting, for Democracy I believe, and the Chinese government sent the army out to the protest. The students refused to listen, and the army opened fire, killing many of the students.
