Wu Dingfu and Song Xiuling lament the death of their son, Wu Guofeng, a 20-year-old Chinese student who was among the first victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. On June 4, 1989, Wu Guofeng set out to document the student-led protests in Beijing with his camera, but instead was shot by the government’s advancing troops before being pierced through the stomach with a bayonet. According to Wu Dingfu, the Communist Party still denies accountability for the deaths of innocent citizens such as his son, even 25 years after the incident.
