The sight of hunger-strike leader Wuer Kaixi in hospital pyjamas scolding and rudely interrupting the premier of China on national television in May electrified student protesters gathered outside in the square. Many participants and scholars who have studied the Tiananmen movement believe this display of arrogance and disrespect was the final straw for Communist party hardliners. Reformist party head Zhao Ziyang was placed under house arrest, where he would remain until his death in Two weeks after that, the tanks rolled in and crushed the movement completely.

When the government published names and grainy photos of the most wanted student leaders in the aftermath, Wuer Kaixi, then just 21 years old and studying education at Beijing Normal University, was number two on the list. With the help of ordinary citizens, gangsters and smugglers, he was spirited to the then British colony of Hong Kong and eventually on to the US, where he studied for a year at Harvard before moving to Dominican University in San Francisco.

He has lived in Taiwan, since the mids. Looking back, Wuer Kaixi, a member of the Uighur ethnic minority blamed by Beijing for a series of recent terrorist attacks, is acutely aware of the significance of the movement he helped lead a quarter of a century ago. He was a key organiser of the first major student march in April and of the mass hunger strike that drew sympathy from across the country and the world. But he was ousted from the student leadership in the final days before the massacre because he advocated leaving the square and was seen as insufficiently radical.

To this day, unlike some of his contemporaries, he remains a determined advocate of political reform in China. With her frail frame and Joan of Arc fervour, Chai Ling, a year-old psychology student, became the symbol of the revolution that transfixed the world. Ms Chai is probably the most contentious figure to emerge from the wreckage of the uprising that rocked the Communist party and altered the course of modern Chinese history. In a rambling and highly emotional interview just days before the massacre, she made statements that still anger many in the Chinese dissident community.

Her comments should probably be taken in the context of the extreme stress she was under, having just been told she was on a government hit list and as troops gathered on the outskirts of Beijing. The fervour of her religious conviction is reminiscent of the fiery spirit that led a revolution and saw her stay until the very end, when the tanks and combat units were assaulting the square.

The several thousand diehard students who remained eventually decided to leave in the early hours of June 4. Chai Ling led the way, in a withdrawal partly negotiated with authorities by Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner currently serving 11 years in prison for advocating peaceful political reform in China. She has been a devout Buddhist, a businesswoman, an activist and a philanthropist but she has never returned to China. To her the country is a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah where people are interested only in money and the pleasures of the flesh.

There will be no death or unhappiness. But he was catapulted to fame as images of him leading a hunger strike in Tiananmen Square flashed across television screens around the world. He spent most of his twenties in prison, before release on medical parole in ahead of a visit to China by President Bill Clinton.
