‘I Would Have Been a Student...
Probably the first time I went over the Great Firewall when I was in high school. I think I used Freedom Gate software. I felt very shocked and angry after watching the footage that showed the truth about June 4. But I didn’t feel very surprised. I have always been quite rebellious, ever since I was a kid. It just confirmed the impression I already had of the [ruling] Chinese Communist Party. It just convinced me that the views I had held since I was a kid were correct, and it also aroused in me a sense of resistance. If I’d been on Tiananmen Square back then, I would have been a student leader too.
