Chai Ling was the chief officer of the democratic demonstrations in Tienanmen Square in 1989. She was one of the elected student leaders during the 3 weeks peaceful demonstration that ended in a massacre of the people not only in the square, but throughout Beijing. I don't know if you recall the media coverage at the time, but I do remember the media coverage at the time and the famous picture of the student with arms wide open staring down a military tank.
You have to go here now and watch!
I have been reading her book and have hardly been able to put it down. Such a tumultuous life she has lived and still only in the middle of her years.
I encourage everyone to review her organization for supporting and rescuing the girls of China. An amazing woman with a daunting mission. And for goodness sake! Please pick up her book - a page turner!
