	Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 were in large measure sparked by the death of former Secretary General Hu Yaobang.
		Unlike the Tiananmen protests of 1987, which consisted mainly of students and intellectuals, the protests in 1989 commanded widespread support from the urban workers who were alarmed by growing inflation and corruption.
		Generally, the demonstration at Tiananmen Square was well-ordered, with daily marches of students from various Beijing area colleges displaying their solidarity with the boycott of college classes and with the developing demands of the protest.

	The Gate and the Square
		Tiananmen Square, where so many of the impassioned events of the spring of 1989 unfolded, is the most emotionally and historically charged urban space in China.
		Tiananmen Gate itself - The Gate of Heavenly Peace - is at once the entryway into the inner vastness of the Forbidden City as well as the exit from that imperial and bureaucratic world into the zones of public space and revolutionary memory.
		The Tiananmen Gate itself, the central southern entrance to the Imperial City, was on a geometrically precise axis that led north between the main ancestral temples to the Women, or Meridian Gate, that guarded the Forbidden City, and south to the outer line of defense.

		The protest started because of the death due to illness of the former General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Hu Yaobang, who was ousted in February 1987 after protests in Tiananmen in 1986 for opposing harsh punishments.
		The suppression of the protest was symbolised by the famous footage of a lone protester several days after the protests standing in front of a column of advancing tanks, halting their progress.
