After the police forcefully shut down the Stars confrontational art show hung on a park fence, and arrest activist Wei Jingsheng for posting an essay on Democracy Wall, thousands of citizens take to the streets near Tiananmen Square, marching in protest and demanding the right to free speech—the first such demonstration since the Communists seized power. The authorities, provoked and threatened by the foreign media attention, close Democracy Wall, imprison another editor Xu Wenli for over 15 years, and force most of the Stars group (including a young Ai Weiwei) into exile. Recording it all is a daring young filmmaker named Chi Xiaoning. Hidden for decades, footage from these daring acts of rebellion are now featured in Beijing Spring for the first time ever.
Event starts at 19:30 CST 10 February 2024 (3:30AM PST, 6:30AM EST, 11:30AM GMT).
GG performed the song "As You Wish" and will be 19th of 33 total segments for the evening. Other performers include Da Zhangwei, Ayunga, Zhou Shen, Jolin Tsai among others.
