1989 Tiananmen Square protests - Zhao made a Speech With a bullhorn To a Crowd of Students

Time: Friday May 19, 1989 at 04:50:00 AM

Place: Tiananmen, Beijing, China

Details: In the early morning of 19 May, Zhao Ziyang went to Tiananmen in what became his political swan song. He was accompanied by Wen Jiabao. Li Peng also went to the Square, but left shortly thereafter. At 4:50 am Zhao made a speech with a bullhorn to a crowd of students, urging the students to end the hunger strike. He told the students that they were still young and urged them to stay healthy and not to sacrifice themselves without due concern for their futures. Zhao's emotional speech was applauded by some students.
