People are still talking about what had happened nineteen years ago on this day.
"She had just graduated from Peking University School of Medicine. She was part of a rescue team organized by the people. Before she was injured she cared for many of those injured. But then she heard someone call out, and realized that there was someone injured elsewhere. She lifted her head, and a bullet hit her in the neck, ending her young life. This person's life was ended while rescuing other people. She was buried by her family in Wanan Cemetery. If you one day have the opporunity to go to Wanan Cemetery, you can see a headstone where it's inscribed, "Wang Weiping's grave." She should have graduated in the summer of that year, 1989. She had already decided that after graduation she would stay in that hospital and become a gynecologist. She spent six years in the Faculty of Medicine. Of the many children in her family, she was the only one to attend university." ---Professor Ding Zilin said in an interview with CNN 10 years ago.
Lung Yingtai: "June 4th not only affects China's fate but also the rebuilding of the world's order."
