Tiananmen Square? Never Heard of it.
I think I recall reading something in college about Nietzsche saying that history is as much about forgetting as remembering. I don’t know where exactly the following situation falls, maybe somewhere in the middle. It looks like the Chinese government has censored information about Tiananmen Square to the extent that it now can sneak back into public consciousness. In other words, how do people recognize something as needing to be censored when they don’t even know what it is.
The quote from Reuters:
Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post said a young woman on the Chengdu Evening News classified section had allowed the ad to be published because she’d never heard of the June 4 crackdown.
