1989 Tiananmen Square protests

100,000 Students marched on the Streets of Beijing

Thursday May 4, 1989
Beijing, China

While some 100,000 students marched on the streets of Beijing on 4 May to commemorate the May Fourth Movement and repeat demands from earlier marches, many students were satisfied with the government's concessions. On 4 May, all Beijing universities except PKU and BNU announced the end of the class boycott. Subsequently, the majority of students began to lose interest in the movement.
