I hope people all over the world can understand that the text on the right side of Tiananmen Square means: Long live the great unity of the people of the world! Westerners cannot understand how excited Chinese people are when standing in Tiananmen Square. Five thousand years have passed, and we are the only civilization that has continued. No amount of difficulties have defeated us for five thousand years. Today, we still stand at the top of the world, breathing with people all over the world. "Long live the great unity of the people of the world" is our common dream, and we hope that people all over the world can live with dignity and happiness on this planet. We hope to move towards the next 5000 years with the people of the world, and we hope to receive respect from the world, just as we respect them, we are all one family.

It is not just selective reporting, it is false reporting. Not a single protester got ''massacred'' on the Square, a massive lie told by Western MSM for 35 years (later confirmed by US own diplomatic cables and foreign diplomats on the Square). The truth is they exited the square orderly and safely in that early morning after negotiations with the PLA. Most deaths and casualty (official figure around 600 not some 10,000 falsely claimed by the West) were from violent riots, many of whom were unarmed young PLA soldiers. It was a FAILED colour revolution incited by the US/West.

Look, the west does get a lot of things wrong but LGBTQ rights really should not be a victim of western imperialism and duplicity. LGBTQ are very victimized group of people and just because we dislike some of the bad western stuff does not mean they got everything wrong. Being kind and elevate victimized people should be a universal value. Maybe China will do it differently and probably well find a better way to create a more equitable society for LGBTQ people but don't lump them in with western inadequacies.

I have been to Tiananmen once back in 2016. It was the night before National Day, and there were so many people. You had to arrive before 2:00 am or you couldn't enter. After waiting almost the entire night, I was so exhausted that I could barely stand on my feet. However, when the music started, I got excited and stood up instantly to see the flag rising while singing the national song with others. It's definitely a memorable experience, and worth waiting so long to see the ceremony, but I would never go again, because it's so exhausting🤣

Very nice choice of music and imagery

Beautiful and heartwarming video. Thank you Harvey.

But you don't understand his meaning, just as he wrote on the door, Long live the great unity of the people of the world, and you can't understand it.

The lines on the city gate wall writes: Long live the People's Republic of China, Long live the great unity of the people all over the world. I don't think any western state would put "Long live the great unity of the people all over the world" in such a place of their own country.

It show the world that how much Chinese people love their country.

Massacred by Western invaders for 100 years since First Opium War vs UK, every Chinese understands that only unity will prevent them from being massacred again! And the current government can lead the Chinese people to unite and develop. 💪 自對英第一次鴉片戰爭，已被西方侵略者屠殺了100年，每個中國人都明白，只有團結，才能避免再次被屠殺！ 現在的政府確實能夠帶領中國人團結和發展。💪

China is too weak in its propaganda. Tiananmen Square, which is a source of pride for the Chinese nation, is often depicted in media controlled by hegemony with photos of flag bearers and guards to create an atmosphere of a "police state." I think China could also learn from the advanced experiences of the West by frequently using photos of the Queen's Royal Guards to depict a feudal monarchial atmosphere, or by promoting and educating more people about Afghanistan, Yemen, various proxy wars initiated by the United States, or at least Guantanamo Bay or Fort Detrick to return the favor.

Actually, more and more people including many of those who participated or even leaded the demonstration at the Tiananmen Square start to clarify that there is no "The Massacre of Tiananmen square". For example, a lot of people watched the very famous video of "The Tank Man". But it only showed the person stood in front of the first one of a queue of many tanks. The tank stopped and turned left and right to try to avoid him. He did not get hurt even climbing to the top of the tank. Eventually, he was pulled away by someone like his fellow. If such a scene could be filmed and spreaded out widely in the world, it is hard to believe that no one single picture or video left about "The Massacre of Tiananmen Square".

Thank you for sharing the whole of your journey to Tiananmen (all many people do that), from waking up in sleepy eyes, walking all the way perhaps a Kilometer or more in wee hours, to standing among the hundreds or thousands of spectators, watching the flag being raised. It's a feat well done.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Philippine Palimbang massacre of Muslim by Ferdinand Marcos The Malisbong Masjid or H. Hamsa Tacbil Mosque massacre, also called the Palimbang massacre, was the mass murder of Muslim Moros by units of the Philippine military on September 24, 1974, in the coastal village of Malisbong in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao.[1][2] Accounts compiled by the Moro Women's Center in General Santos state that 1,500 male Moros aged 11-70 were killed inside a mosque, 3,000 women and children aged 9-60 were detained - with the women being raped - and that 300 houses were razed by the government forces.[1] The massacre occurred two years after Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in September 1972.[4] The massacre started after the first four days on the fast of Ramadan when members of the Philippine Army arrived and captured barangay officials along with 1,000 other Muslims. For more than a month, the military murdered residents of the area. Testimonies show that victims were made to strip and dig their own graves before being killed by gunshot.[5]

天安门城楼上的字是“中华人民共和国万岁”，“世界人民大团结万岁”。 The words on the wall of Tiananmen are "Long live the People's Republic of China" and "Long live the great unity of the people of the world".

5:24 When it's showing the pic of Chairman Mao. There are two sentenses on the left and right of his picture. The left one is "long live People's Republic of China" which is normal. The right one is "long live the unite of world's people". Most time I think the modern western people don't understand that feeling. China is a united country since over 3000 years ago. We always believe that people in everywhere of the world are the same. People saying in the western media that we have no choice but to support the government, which is not true. When I gradutated from the U.S. staying 6 years there completing my bachelor and master degrees. I can simply stayed there and never came back to China. But I didn't. I came back immediately after graduation and I never regreted about it. Now you guys all can have that 7 day's VISA to China. Do come and see with your own eyes.

The flags raised in Tiananmen Square are new every day, and these flags are kept numbered. The flags that cover the coffins of the soldiers of Chinese volunteers army retrieved by China are these flags that have been raised at Tiananmen Square. 天安门广场上每天升起的国旗都是新的，这些国旗后来都编号保存。 中国每年从韩国接回的志愿军战士遗骸上所覆盖的国旗都在天安门广场上升起过。
