Blaney Blog 2 Political Environment
The visit to Tiananmen Square was bitter sweet. Although, it is a remarkable gathering place; one cannot forget to have a moment of silence for the blood that was shed on its grounds. It seemed that the government intentionally removed history by not having any signage to inform tourist that nearly 3,000 people die and 10,000 injured on this famous landmark during a political protect in 1989.

I, too, Yvette, looked for and did not see any acknowldegment of the 1989 events. It was quite an uneasy feeling standing there knowing that many of those massacred student protesters were my age at that time. I, however, was the one standing there alive in March 2013.
