Translation: The Tiananmen Square incident took place in Beijing, China in 1989. It was a series of pro-democracy protests led by students and intellectuals, calling for greater political freedoms and an end to government corruption. The protests were peaceful for the most part, but on June 4th, the Chinese military was deployed to the square to suppress the protests, resulting in a violent crackdown. The exact number of casualties is unknown, but it is estimated that hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters were killed or injured. The event remains a highly sensitive and censored topic in China, with the government officially characterizing it as a "counter-revolutionary riot."
