I highly recommend you always back up any source video or webpage you come across.

    I think that was mentioned in that video itself. Tell me, is it the documentary where besides this gal named Chai Ling saying that intention, there was this ROC citizen protester Hou Deijian who said something about not witnessing a ‘massacre’ and exiting the square peacefully (the actual crackdown was outside the square; outskirts of Beijing)

      I don’t recall who was interviewed to be honest, there were a number of people featured in it and i watched it probably 10 years ago at this point. Some were leaders of the student movement and I think at least one of them had since switched sides. Either way the story was farily consistent regardless of who was telling it and it did not describe what the modern narrative is.
