The image at the top sticks with me. Early in the evening, that same guy had tried to persuade me to get on a bus with him and charge into the square. I declined and then witnessed the bus being riddled with bullets before crashing. The frame after this picture, which I never transmitted, shows a big hole in the side of his head. 

I hope this kind of post won't be necessary on the 30'th anniversary of the "Tiananmen Square Massacre"  Perhaps by then, the events of that night will have been discussed and explored openly both inside and outside of China.  

I've posted a sequence of images starting from April 16 onward at Historyisreal.com if you want to get a feel for how things unfolded with one click.
