WANG DAN IS FORTY-FIVE

WANG DAN 
王丹 
b. February 26, 1969 


AT A 2004 FORUM ON 
TIANANMEN +15 
Harvard University 
Cambridge, Massachusetts 

Looking back fifteen years afterwards at the events of the spring of 1989 which culminated in the crackdown known as "六四" (Liu-Si, June 4) in Chinese and as "Tiananmen" to the outside world. 

Wang Dan was a student leader in 1989; imprisoned afterwards; eventually a Harvard Ph.D. 

In a little more than three months, the quarter century anniversary will be upon us.
