Wangque de Yitian

Equipped with a DV camera, the filmmaker visits the Peking University and Tian An Men Square. In the underground carriages, a notice announces: “Disinfected today”. It is 4th June 2005. The filmmaker questions passers-by: what day is it today? What is the date? Those he asks avoid answering, as the subject is taboo. Few mention 4th June 1989 and the student movement. The younger people may simply not know. Others cautiously respect the law of silence or stick to official formulas.
