本書搜集了二百多張珍貴圖片,用日誌方式的文字串連,將這個爭取民主、自由、科學、人權和法治的偉大而悲壯的運動,由胡耀邦逝世起至鄧小平在六月九日露面勉勵執行「戒嚴」任務的軍隊為止,清楚地紀錄下來。
The book collects more than 200 photographs and covers every important event daily from Hu Yaobang's death to Deng Xiaoping's reappearance on television on June 9. The massive democratic movement showed the nation's yearning for freedom, human rights, "rule by law", and moderization.
