Book excerpt: Description Baiyun escapes her abusive family by going to the prestigious Peking University, a birthplace of many student movements in the history of China. During the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement, she meets the man of her dreams, Dagong, a handsome and charismatic factory technician, with whom she finds true happiness in spite of shadows casted by her dysfunctional childhood.Yet, her happiness is short-lived. The fact that Dagong is married with a young son has destroyed Baiyun's dreams for a better life as easily as the government's tanks have crushed the Chinese people's dreams for democracy. In the end, Baiyun and Dagong face life-and-death decisions as Beijing falls victim to uncontrolled violence and Martial Law during the 1989 Tiananmen Square Demonstrations."Last Kiss in Tiananmen Square" is a coming-of age story of an era in which dreams become shattered and lives are crushed during the 1989 Chinese Pro-Democracy Movement.
