Plaza in Beijing

 * On April 16, several hundred students went to Tiananmen Square to place wreaths around the massive Monument to the People’s Heroes, an action that should have alerted the authorities to possible unrest. On April 18, more than 6,000 students marched from Beijing University to Tiananmen Square early in the morning and launched a sit-in in front of the Great Hall of the People. And the next day, there were reports of conflicts between the students and security guards in front of Zhongnanhai, headquarters of the Communist Party and residential compound of many top leaders.
 * The symbolic heart of political power in China, Tiananmen Square, is among the most tightly controlled and patrolled areas in Beijing. But on October 28 last year, shortly after noon, the constant police presence and surveillance was undone by a rudimentary plot.
