Wang Dan, the Leader of the 1989 Pro-Democracy Movement

Wang Dan, now a professor at Tsinghua University in Taiwan, talks about his career as a Chinese dissident. When he was 20, in 1989, he represented Peking University in the political movement opposing the Chinese government. The latter is violently opposed to their democratic demands. He becomes one of the charismatic leaders of the pro-democracy student movement. The latter is better known as the "Tiananmen Square protest". Following the demonstrations which were harshly repressed by the army and the police, he fled Beijing. The police found him and then incarcerated him on July 2nd, 1989. He remained in prison until 1993. Freed on parole, he wrote texts considered seditious vis-à-vis the Chinese Communist Party and was imprisoned again in 1995. In 1998 he is exiled to the USA following a visit from the then American president. The reasons given by the Chinese government are of a medical nature. He studied the history of Western Asia at Harvard and successfully passed his degrees (a master's degree). He obtained a teaching position in Taiwan, which he held until 2017. Wang Dan goes back to the events in Tian'anmen Square, explaining that the students (who are losing this political battle against the dictatorship of Dien Xiaoping) are ahead of their time. He hopes that democracy will become effective in China in an uncertain future but that it considers real. Finally, the interview evokes the special relationship between the western countries and particularly France with China. The image of France is that of a country that respects human rights and places equality among human beings at the centre of these political concerns. The history of France must be a source of inspiration for Chinese students.
