Q4 - Lesson #31 - From Mao to Deng to Tiananmen Square
Today, we'll attempt to get up to the 1989 events at Tiananmen Square.
Mao's Rule over China: You received a copy of the Mao Zedong chapter from our textbook and were asked to complete the Mao study guide. Let's go through this and see if we can make sense of it.
I'll show you some pictures from my book, The Chinese Century. It might help your understanding of the events.
We'll take a closer look at the Cultural Revolution. The Morning Sun website has a lot of very interesting exhibits and activities related to this important and complex period. We'll spend a little time here.
Read this for tomorrow. It's an excerpt from Britain's coverage of the events we will talk about: BBC on This Day - June 4, 1989. Massacre in Tiananmen Square
