Zhao Ziyang Quote

To students holding a hunger strike in Tiananmen Square in 1989:

You are still young, and have long futures ahead of you, unlike us; we are already old and do not matter anymore.


Prisoner of the State (Simon and Schuster, 2012), p. 69


You are still young, and have long futures ahead of you, unlike us; we are already old and do not matter anymore.

You are still young, and have long futures ahead of you, unlike us; we are already old and do not matter anymore.

You are still young, and have long futures ahead of you, unlike us; we are already old and do not matter anymore.

You are still young, and have long futures ahead of you, unlike us; we are already old and do not matter anymore.
