Summary
June Fourth has become an obsession for people affected by it, but the obsession is warranted. Even though the Communist Party's censorship, repression, and patriotic education efforts seem to have erased the history of June Fourth within China, revealers continue to push back against concealers and offer hope that the future of June Fourth studies will be bright.
