	Tiananmen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gate was damaged by lightning in 1457, and was not repaired until 1465.
		The gate as it stood was by then 500 years old, and had badly deteriorated, partly due to heavy usage in the 1950s-60s.
		Proceeding further inward, the next gate is the 'Upright Gate', identical in design to the Tiananmen; behind it is the southern entrance of the Forbidden City itself, known as the Meridian Gate.

		This gate was known as the "Great Ming Gate" (大明门) during the Ming Dynasty, "Great Qing Gate" (大清门) during the Qing Dynasty, and "Gate of China" (中华门) during the Republic of China era.
		Unlike the other gates in Beijing, such as the Tiananmen and the Qianmen, this was a purely ceremonial gateway, with three arches but no ramparts, similar in style to the ceremonial gateways found in the Ming Dynasty Tombs.
		In the early 1950s, China Gate (as it was then known) was demolished along with the Chessgrid Streets to the south, completing the expansion of Tiananmen Square to (approximately) its current size.

		Tiananmen means 'Gate of Heavenly Peace.' In myriad ways this place has exuded a mysterious political power and presence of the Chinese people over the last six hundred years.
		Today's eponymous gate structure, beneath the beneficent gaze of Mao, was first built in 1417 as a centerpiece entry to the middle layer of three concentric walled enclosures defining the urban expression of the Ming dynasty's (1368-1644) capital city.
		The gate as we know it today was one of the minor changes made to the city during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911).

		The Gate of Heavenly Peace, Richard Gordon and Carma Hilton's magnificent and devastating three-hour documentary on the 1989 Chinese democracy movement, which culminated with the tragedy at Tiananmen Square, has the richness, clarity, and complexity that only the best documentaries afford.
		A few minutes into the film, you're told what a shock it was to the Chinese people -- used to having their leaders hide, faceless and omnipotent, behind the walls of the Imperial City -- when Mao greeted them face to face in 1949 in Tiananmen to proclaim China a People's Republic.
		The Gate of Heavenly Peace comes down to the heartbreaking conflict between the romance of revolution and the unromantic slow alternative of working for change.

		This is a major reason also why China would want to have a non-nuclear Korean peninsula, because of the volatility of the political decisions that had emerged from this region, embroiling her and the rest of the world in a poorly thought out and totally unnecessary military misadventure.
		From the very beginning, the problem of the North and South Koreans can only be resolved by peaceful negotiations, and only by both Koreas coming to terms with their past and their future.

		The Gate of Heavenly Peace thoroughly documents the naivety of a prevailing idea during the conflict.
		During the occupation of Tiananmen Square in 1989, some student leaders and their followers alike believed a simplistic formula: Bloodshed would awake people; the awakened people would rise up; and democracy would somehow naturally result.
		The Gate of Heavenly Peace presents this fact metaphorically with blood stains on the stone pavements in the subsequently tranquil Tiananmen Square after the crackdown.

		It took six years for Richard Gordon and Carma Hilton to piece together The Gate of Heavenly Peace, a three-hour documentary tracing the failure of the 1989 student demonstration in Tiananmen Square and putting into perspective its bloody aftermath.
		While the documentary is an obvious indictment of the hardline Chinese government’s rejection of responsibility toward the student movement, The Gate of Heavenly Peace focuses its criticism on the inability of the student leadership itself to maintain ideological solidarity.
		Even as The Gate of Heavenly Peace succeeds on this intense emotional level, the documentary is, perhaps, more engaging on an intellectual level.
