Summary:

Despite sweeping censorship, Chinese culture continues to engage with the history, meaning, and memory of the Tiananmen movement. Thomas Chen examines the surprisingly rich corpus of Tiananmen literature and film produced in mainland China since 1989, contending that censorship does not simply forbid-it also shapes what is created.
