I remember the pictures of the Peking student demonstration carrying a
giant Styrofoam statue of the Goddess of Democracy. There were few mentions of shooting students, the "massacre" meme appeared years later. Today, when the relations between China and the USA are tense, the Western press speaks non-stop of a massacre. I do not know
what really happened, a Communist dictatorship is able to erase the memory of any event including famines, purges, anything.
