A reassessment of the Tiananmen Square massacre on its 25th anniversary, exploring how China has systematically suppressed all memory of the events of June 4, 1989. Former BBC Beijing correspondent Louisa Lim documents how an entire generation of young Chinese citizens — including students at the very university where protests began — have been rendered ignorant of the crackdown.
