Summary
Protesters in cities paid little attention to the concerns of China's rural residents, who reacted in different ways to the Tiananmen protests and Beijing massacre. Some parents of university students from rural backgrounds did not understand why their children wanted to protest. Other rural people did not see anything wrong with the crackdown. But one group of villagers – the parents of massacre victims – suffered greatly.
