Yiwu, don't want to overwhelm you with posts. But I work with a woman who immigrated here to America from Beijing. I've never talked much about China with her except for the Tianamen Square period. She said people all over the city were excited and hopeful while they thought there was a chance for reform. But hopelessness was everywhere afterward. She told of the people going into the streets and talking to the first soldiers who entered the city. Many of them put down their arms and went over to the reformers side. Later the government brought in new troops from faraway who were out of touch and they were the ones who were used to crush the movement.
