The first of two student hunger strikes during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre began on May 13, 1989, in Beijing. The students said that they were willing to risk their lives to gain the government's attention. They believed that because plans were in place for the grand welcoming of Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, on May 15, at Tiananmen Square, the government would respond. Although the students gained a dialogue session with the government on May 14, no rewards materialized. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did not heed the students' demands and moved the welcome ceremony to the airport.

  • The first of two student hunger strikes during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre began on May 13, 1989, in Beijing. The students said that they were willing to risk their lives to gain the government's attention. They believed that because plans were in place for the grand welcoming of Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, on May 15, at Tiananmen Square, the government would respond. Although the students gained a dialogue session with the government on May 14, no rewards materialized. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did not heed the students' demands and moved the welcome ceremony to the airport. On May 15, students officially created the Hunger Strike Committee to organize operations within the square. By May 16, there were 3,100 hunger strikers. Ambulances and medical help were readily available for the fainting students at the square. With local and foreign media being allowed to report on the student protests, the images of students chanting and fainting from the hunger strike activities created striking images for the world. Pictures of students willing to forgo their lives for their country were captured by media outlets and transmitted around the world, which led to global sympathy for the students' cause. Citywide support for the students led to mass protests between May 16 and May 18, which involved people from all walks of life including workers, youth, the elderly, and many others. Over one million people took part of the citywide protests in support of the students. The hunger strike ended on May 19 before the declaration of martial law. (en)
  • 六四事件中的天安門绝食始于1989年5月13日。據学生表示,他们愿意冒着生命危险来引起政府的关注。他们认为,由于中國共產黨之前已計劃好于5月15日在天安门广场舉行苏联共产党总书记米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫來訪的盛大的欢迎仪式,政府将不得不對學生絕食作出回应。尽管学生们于5月14日与政府进行了对话,但没有任何效果。中国共产党没有听取学生的訴求,而是将欢迎仪式移到了机场。 5月15日,学生正式成立絕食抗議委员会,以组织協調广场内的行动。到5月16日,共有3,100名绝食抗议者。广场上昏厥的学生随时可以得到救护车和医疗帮助。允许本地和外国媒体报道学生抗议活动。北京市对学生絕食的支持导致5月16日至5月18日發生大规模抗议活动,超过一百万人参加了北京市的抗议活动,包括工人,青年,老人和其他市民。绝食于5月19日结束。 (zh)
