CBS 천안문 봉기 20주년 기념....

 

Freedom. It’s still elusive정의하기 어려운 in China. “You can’t take photos.” 20 years after the bloody crackdown탄업조치 on prodemocracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. This is the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Good evening, everyone. In China, the 20^th anniversary of the brutal잔인한 assault on pro-freedom and democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, Chinese authorities would rather not look back.

 

“You can’t take photos.” Police in Beijing today refused to allow cameras to take pictures of Tiananmen Square which was open to tourists. Still people all over the world remember the crackdown. Barry Peterson who was there 20 years ago talked to one woman who will never forget.

 

Ding ZiLin still mourns애도하다 her 17-year-old son killed that night 20 years ago. “I’m luckier than other mothers. I know how he died. He received a single bullet through the heart.” That night China turned on its young, killing, by some estimates, from hundreds to thousands. Ending in tragedy what started with such hope. Students taking over Tiananmen Square, calling for freedom and building a statue the world knew as the Goddess of Democracy.

 

Because Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev was visiting. A million or more people paraded through the square in those weeks to show support. The first time troops were sent in. The convoys호위대 were blocked. But three weeks later, the troops came back, killing at will마음대로  뜻데로. China's Premier Zhao supported the students. For this, he was put under house arrest. Before he died, he made audio tapes of his memoirs회고록 published in the United States. Tapes smuggled out by his one-time secretary Bao Tong.

 

The very day we went to interview Bao, we was told that he wasn't allowed to meet with the press. So we called. If a government is not willing to tell the truth to its own people, he told me, it probably won't be honest with the international community. Three days after our interview, he was ordered to leave Beijing. Some things have changed since that night here on Tiananmen Square. Now, when China is accused of human rights abuses, it claims the moral high ground and points its finger at the United States, saying these days it is the U.S. that is guilty of torture and abuse.

 

They are not taught what happened, and many foreign Internet sites about the Tiananmen massacre are blocked by the government. China's leaders do not want another generation inspired by the story of how, once, people by the millions, and by the one demanded with only their courage that China change, and how some still believe that day is coming.
