Chinese Artists Who Address Tiananmen Square Live In The Shadows

Or they’re put there by Chinese authorities: “It has been three months since Chinese rock musician Li Zhi disappeared from public view. First, an upcoming tour was canceled and his social media accounts were taken down. Then his music was removed from all of China’s major streaming sites — as if his career had never existed at all. Li is an outspoken artist who performs folk rock. … ‘Now this square is my grave,’ Li sang [about Tiananmen]. ‘Everything is just a dream.'” – The Washington Post (AP)
