Sixteen issues of Beijing Evening News ????, 15 - 31 May, 1989, and one issue of Science and Technology Daily, featuring articles about the student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square. Most 4pp, issues of 21/5/89 and 28/5/89 are 8pp and each includes a page of cartoons. Some photographic illustrations, incidental cartoons and var…ious advertisements. Text in simplified Chinese characters, 39.5 x 28 cm. Overall browning especially at edges, some a little ragged, wear at folds, tide mark front page 31/5. Otherwise in good condition. Articles about the student demonstration in Tiananmen Square fall into five main categories, and change in focus over the 16 days: 1 Early concern about health of hunger strike students, leaders visit them in hospital and the Square. Then, focus moves to hygiene problems in the Square, and government efforts to prevent disease outbreaks; improve sanitation, provide rubbish collection, cleaners, fresh water, extra toilets, inspections at food stalls, and hospital treatment for sick students (16/5, 18/5, 19/5, 21/5, 24/5, 25/5, 27/5 29/5) 2 Early support shown for hunger strike students by reporters, academics and medical teams. Later increased calls for an end to the demonstration and return to class. Red Cross urges the government not to take revenge. (18/5, 24/5, 25/5, 31/5) 3 Problems caused by the demonstrators - effects on tourism and international reputation, normal work interrupted because improvised roadblocks create traffic jams and overcrowding of mass transport systems, clashes between soldiers and students, protests spreading to other cities, attacks on government leadership organs. ( 20/5, 22/5, 23/5 25/5, 31/5) 4 Explanation of reasons for martial law; normal work must continue - not intended to suppress the students. Li Peng (19/5) calls for measures to stop the unrest so the reform and opening up process can continue, and this garners increasing support. (20/5, 21/5, 22/5, 26/5) 5 In the Science and Technology Daily, (not included in the photograph), there is a report of transport returning to normal with cooperation from students, and a report of students urging martial law PLA units and the people who had blockaded and attacked them not to fight. Articles about President Michael Gorbachev's arrival in Beijing and meeting with Deng Xiaoping are front page news, (15/5 16/5).

First edition, second printing, of this scarce work honouring the first ten soldiers posthumously commended as "Guardians of the Republic" in the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. While the first two printings amounted to 70,000 copies, zero are now traceable in commerce in China due to the state's prohibition of any ma…terial related to June Fourth, and most copies have likely been destroyed. Institutionally, we have located six copies with none in the UK. On 30 June 1989, Deng Xiaoping, in his capacity as head of the Central Military Commission, directed that ten members of Beijing's martial law forces be commended for their contributions to quashing the Tiananmen demonstrations: "these ten martyrs embody the fervent nationalism of the Chinese people and the People's Liberation Army's ethos of selfless dedication" (p. 13). The present work, edited by the Jinan Military District Political Propaganda Office, includes the text of the notices of commendation as well as 14 pieces of literary reportage offering biographical information on the heroes, dramatized accounts of the military action, and the laying of wreaths to remember them. The plates show the events of 3 and 4 June, hardworking soldiers, and portraits of the fallen heroes. In total, 15 soldiers who died during the crackdown were eventually honoured with the title. Recent research has shown that a number were killed by civilians acting in self-defence after army commanders authorized the use of lethal force, while others from the 38th Group Army died when their vehicle crashed and caught fire. Institutional copies can be found at the Library of Congress, Harvard, University of Pittsburgh, National Library of China, Shanghai Library, and Hangzhou Library. Octavo. With 13 half-tone plates. Original illustrated wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in red and black. Covers lightly soiled, extremities a little rubbed, internally clean and bright, illustrations sharp. A very good copy indeed.

First edition, first printing, of this official justification for the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Of the staggering number issued - 300,000 - zero are now available in China due to the state's prohibition of any information concerning the events of June Fourth, and most copies have likely been destroyed. The contents anthologize… documents, editorials, and pronouncements issued as warnings to the demonstrators and in the wake of the military action. This collection opens with a report on Deng Xiaoping's 9 June address to representatives of Beijing's martial law forces stressing the absolute correctness of their actions and expressing condolences for those soldiers "martyred" (p. 1). Also included is the text of Yuan Mu's interview with the American journalist Tom Brokaw conducted a week later, and media and party reports of the people's united support for the quashing of the demonstrations. Other documents provide physical descriptions and sometimes identity card numbers for the ringleaders wanted by the authorities, including Wang Dan, Wuer Kaixi, and Chai Ling, as well as the Beijing Public Security Bureau notice ordering the arrest of Fang Lizhi and Li Shuxian. This anthology was edited by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party and printing began almost immediately. A large amount of ink offsetting visible in the present copy, caused by the sheets being bound before the text had dried, speaks to the state's urgent need for propaganda to counter widespread shock. Octavo. Original cream wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in black. Contemporary ownership inscription of one Chen on front cover. Spot of adhesive residue on spine, front cover with a few faint black stains and small loss to lower tip, light toning internally. A very good copy indeed.
