17.7.4. Chai Ling (柴玲)
She was cute and energetic! :-)
Famous anti-People’s Daily (人民日报, CCP media) speech:
人民日报，胡说八道！
欺骗人民，良心何在！
不是不报，时候不到！
People’s Daily,
Full of nonsense
Lying to the people,
Where’s your conscience?
You may think you’re safe,
But your time will come.
Also transcripted at: http://www.tsquare.tv/chinese/film/ghp04.html from The Gate of Heavenly Peace (1995, 天安门纪录片).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRAmL1D8R-4 (GitHub reupload) Chai Ling People’s Daily speech in Tiananmen Square protests (柴玲—六四学运—国民日报，胡说八道！). Ripped from The BBC miniseries Can’t Get You Out of My Head directed by Alam Curtis (2021) It is also, and perhaps more importantly also shown at The Gate of Heavenly Peace (1995, 天安门纪录片) at around 1:11:40. TODO find exact date. Ordering of the documentary suggests some time after May 10th.
Figure 222. Still from the above video with captions. We see that she was either at the headquarters of the People’s Daily (人民日报, CCP media), or in some other office of the organization. TODO confirm exact location.
