-- Tiananmen Square :2023., Adult, Spiderline Call No: NEW MYS Fic Ham Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Ava Lee novel Volume: 15Summary Note: Ava Lee is in the French Riviera with Pang Fai and Lau Lau for the long-awaited premiere of Tiananmen at the Cannes Film Festival. As the film wins numerous awards and international acclaim, a distribution deal with a major American firm is arranged by the film's producer, Chen. When several months go by with no word from the Americans, Chen decides to travel to Los Angeles to determine what is preventing the film's release. En route from his home in Bangkok, Chen goes missing. Ava is called in to investigate and soon learns that Chen is being held by the Thai Immigration Services on orders of the Chinese government, which is unhappy with the film's depiction of the infamous massacre at Tiananmen Square. Using its growing power and influence, the Chinese government seeks to block the film's distribution and punish those responsible for its production. To protect her investment, Ava must find a way for Tiananmen to be released, while keeping secret her own involvement in the film's creation and ensuring that her friends are kept safe from retribution. It is a difficult balancing act, perhaps the most difficult of her life, as the stakes have never been higher nor has failure been more costly.

c2013., Goose Lane Editions Call No: QWF 951.05 C811l Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "More than 20 years after the Tiananmen Square uprising, Michel Cormier, CBC Television's former China correspondent, examines the still-born legacy of the Tiananmen Square student protests led by Wang Dan and other activists in the spring of 1989. With the loosening of restrictions on the Chinese economy in the 1980s and 1990s and the rise of the middle class, many observers thought that Western-style democracy would soon follow. Instead, China has adopted its own version, with a market-driven economy where actions that might call into question the decisions of the governing party are strictly forbidden. In this fascinating account, Cormier chronicles numerous failed attempts to bring democracy to China in the last century, starting with a handful of brave souls who tried to move China towards a constitutional monarchy at the turn of the century and peaking with the student uprising of 1989. Using historical research (including surprising transcripts from Party meetings) and candid interviews with many of the dissidents -- some now living in exile, others under house arrest in China--Cormier tells the very human story of real people struggling for human rights and freedoms.".
