WHAT THE ARTICLE COVERS
A locally saved Chinese text mirror
The article discusses the movement’s background, Hu Yaobang’s death, petitions and demonstrations, the hunger strike, martial law, the entry of troops into Beijing, deaths and injuries, arrests, international responses and later remembrance.
Accounts of particular locations and casualty totals differ. The article includes competing descriptions and references; readers should distinguish documented events, estimates and disputed claims.
Image placement and context
Images are placed near related sections where possible. Captions identify people, dates, creators and licenses. The mural depicting “Tank Man” is a later commemorative work, not an image from 1989. The tanks photographed in July 1989 document the aftermath, not June 3–4.
