Last Kiss In Tiananmen Square edition by Lisa Zhang Wharton Literature Fiction eBooks

This novel wrote about a struggle of democracy in China at a period of post-Cultural Revolution. The democracy cries from the students in the Universities in China ignited the fire of desire of democracy among the people in the country. The main activity described in the novel is the historical event of "June the Forth at Tiananmen Square" in which the students lead a protest against the government in demanding for democracy. The protest was crashed by the government army force. The story described truthfully the lives of then college students and the ordinary city folks. The flame of both democracy and the forbidden love between the two main characters Bai Yun and Da Gong keep the tension through the book.

Last Kiss In Tiananmen Square edition by Lisa Zhang Wharton Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I love the Chinese voice that Lisa Zhang Wharton writes with. Her experience as a Chinese woman comes across in her story, and it feels almost auto-biographical. You feel the grimmness of the conditions that the people of China lived under during the time of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Hope thrives under the conditions of hopelssness. Baiyun struggles with her mother's morality, her own wishes and dreams, and with the burdens that were inherent to being a modern woman in China. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves modern literature, and especially those who love anything about China, as I do.
This story gave a good look at the life of common people and th poor in china in the days before the Tianemen Square Masacre. the world saw news clips of this atrocity, but perhaps did not know the roots of this event. The ending is a surprise and sad.
Good to get some background into the Tiananmen Square event seen through the eyes of a female student. I found the use of English names discordant with the use of Chinese names, making it confusing much of the time. That aside it was an enjoyable read.
I liked it for it's subject matter and the fact that it was written by a Chinese person. However it was not a smooth read due to the fact that it was somewhat written in Chinglish. I'm glad Lisa wrote it and I encourage her to write more.
Intriguing characters, political and personal scandal, and the insights of one young Chinese student's heart make Lisa Zhang Wharton's Last Kiss in Tiananmen Square a novel you won't want to put down. Set in the days leading into the student revolution and the government's violent response to it, the story follows a small group of college friends as they navigate romance and classes and become increasingly emerged in leading a movement that shook the world.

Through her expanding network of well-developed characters, Zhang Wharton brings the reader viscerally into the complexities of efforts toward a patriotic ideal, from intergenerational conflict to the past traumas and future hopes of a people's ongoing and valiant movements toward a democratic government and a free press. With cultural detail and vivid imagery, Zhang Wharton's scenes and dialogue offer a window into a historical event as broad as students' movements everywhere and as intimate as her heroine's blossoming sexuality and inner transformation to become part of a cause so much greater than herself. The tensions of love, social justice and politics build together seamlessly toward a powerful ending - we may know the facts, but here is the insider's story.
Lisa Zhang Wharton's "Last Kiss In Tiananmen Square" put a face and a personal story to the history of the 4 June 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. That pure, beautiful face belongs to the studious bookworm Baiyun.

Previously absorbed in her studies as she prepares herself to take the TOEFL exam so that she may emigrate to the United States, Baiyun is drawn into the march by 100,000 Beijing University students for political liberalization following the death of Hu Yaobang, the Communist Party of China General Secretary who supported economic and political reform. In the weeks that follow the death of Hu Yaobang, Baiyun abandons her studies to join the revolution, where she stands in solidarity with her classmates. In the midst of this energized environment she finds Dagong, a middle-aged factory worker who rekindles his youthful zeal by leading the factory workers to support the student protesters. Baiyun and Dagong's star-crossed love story develops as impending doom approaches.

As mentioned by a previous poster, there may be some places where the reading becomes difficult, however it is a book that is absolutely worth reading. As an fellow author with Lisa Zhang Wharton's publisher, I know the book will be polished before it goes to print. In the meantime, the book deserves to be read and I'm honored that my own book is featured alongside such an important work of historical fiction.

Thank you for sharing this story, Lisa. I'm looking forward to reading your next book!
This story about a Chinese Romeo and Juliet couple who witness the 1989 massacre at Tiananmen Square first hand (Dagong is an older technical worker; Baijun is a young college student) is interesting enough that I persisted until the end so I could find out what happened to them. In addition, I have been to Beijing many times, and really enjoyed the descriptions of the local sights. But it was quite a chore to do so, as the book is filled with grammatical errors and typos, the worst of which was calling the government's crackdown on the students "Marshal Law." Where was a native English speaking editor when this book needed it?
