remembrances

Horse’s Mouth is posting a series of remembrances of the June 4 massacre.:

An endless line of army trucks had now jammed Chang’an Avenue. For a moment there was complete silence. Then, little by little, the people collected again and inched their way toward the trucks until they could touch them. They begged, they cursed, they swore. "You’re the People’s Army, you can’t open fire on the people!" some protested. Others were sarcastic, saying, "You’re very good at killing unarmed civilians! You’ve turned yourselves into killing machines for those old bastards! But when they finally die, you’ll all be executed!" Then a hoarse voice began to lead the crowd in singing the "Internationale." We all wept. The soldiers were stone-faced; you could see from their eyes the stupidity, the apathy, the cruelty.
