BEIJING, CHINA – 1989/06/01: The “Goddess of Democracy” stands tall amid a huge crowd of flag waving pro-democracy demonstrators in front of the Mao Tse Tung portrait in Tiananmen Square. Art students made the polystyrene and plaster statue in the style of the Statue of Liberty to represent their desire for a more democratic rule in Communist China. Once erected in Tiananmen Square this proved to be the last act of defiance by protestors as a few days later government troops brutally suppressed the democratic movement..
