"During the 1989 Protest Movement the Chinese authorities were collecting information to create their sanitized version of what happened when millions of people in Beijing and cities throughout China openly rebelled against the government in support of student protests. That version of reality was later presented as the "true story" (zhenxiang) by the Chinese authorities in the print and electronic media. It is a story, one that wildly distorts the facts, that the government sticks to doggedly even today. It is a story that forces the authorities to denounce works like THE GATE OF HEAVENLY PEACE which attempt to make sense of what happened in 1989 outside the narrow confines of partisan political debate."
