This whole thing was horrible. My mom’s best friend worked at a maternity hospital in Beijing city, on that night dozens of wounded and dead were being rushed to their hospital, even though they didn’t have the means to deal with the trauma, being a maternity hospital and all. But the wounded kept coming through, they tried their best to treat them, not many survived. Before dawn they put the IDs out on top of dead bodies to facilitate identification - many of which are student IDs - but in the morning cops came by and confiscated the IDs. Shortly after coroners’ van came and took the bodies. People who lost their kids that night were told their kids were missing. Or ran away.
My family lived in the district of Beijing that housed quite a few Chinese science institutes, many kids from that district went to major universities in Beijing and participated in the demonstrations. I’ll never forget the wailing in our neighborhood in the following days, weeks, months. They can cover up the truth all they want, I’ll never forget. And I’ll do my best to make sure others won’t, either.
Edit: I’m so happy to be able to contribute a little to the students’ legacy with my comment! Some of you guys asked for more info on the movement itself, I think this wiki page does a pretty decent job of outlining it, certainly much better than my 10 year old brain at the time could remember. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests give it a look if you’re interested! And my whole family left China many years ago, we’re perfectly safe, no worries
