Quotation of the Day for June 4, 2014



"I don't know what it tells you about a country when you could have such a cataclysmic event as Tiananmen Square, and then suddenly you lop off the reality for all the people coming after.... But the great thing about China is that history is valued, so that it will come out one day. People will keep records; people will eventually write about this."

- Jan Wong, journalist, who witnessed the massacre of pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square at the hands of Chinese soldiers on the night of June 3-4, 1989.
