Twenty-five years after the Tiananmen crackdown of June 4, 1989 the Communist
Party continues to conceal the truth about the deaths of hundreds of victims
including Wu Guofeng, a 20-year-old student who was among the first to die.
Shot in the head, shoulder and chest by the advancing troops, and then
deliberately skewered through the belly with a bayonet, he was one of
hundreds, perhaps thousands of Chinese
citizens slaughtered during the Tiananmen Square crackdown that took place
25 years ago this week.
“I will never forgive them. It broke my heart,” Song Xiuling, his 70-year-old
mother, told The Telegraph in a rare interview on the eve of the
anniversary.
“The Communist Party still dares not publish the truth,” said Wu Dingfu, the
dead student’s father. “But one day it will emerge.”
In the quarter-of-a-century since a night of carnage that is now simply known
as the “June 4th incident”, China’s Communist leaders have fought tooth and
nail to keep the truth about Tiananmen being known.
