Defacement of Mao Zedong's Portrait on the Tiananmen, 1989
During the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the portrait of Mao Zedong at Tiananmen was defaced. At 2:00pm, May 23, 1989, three young protesters from Liuyang, Hunan, posted banners on the wall of the Tiananmen gate's passway. The slogans on the banners read ''Time to End the Five Thousand Years of Autocracy'' (五千年专制到此可以告一段落！), ''Time to End the Cult of Personality'' (个人崇拜从今可以休矣). Shortly after, they threw eggs filled with pigment to the Portrait of Mao Zedong on the Tiananmen Gate. They were immediately caught by members of the Beijing Students' Autonomous Federation (, abbr. 高自联). At 5:00pm, they were forced to appear in a press conference and admitted that their activities were totally irrelevant with Movement. At 7:00pm, they were handed to Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. On a TV program broadcast the same day, members of the Movement claim that they had nothing to do with the three youths, and criticized them. At 10:00pm, the defaced portrait of Mao Zedong was taken down and replaced by a spare.
==The incident==
The three’s initial goal was to support the Beijing students. Upon their arrival in the city on May 19, they joined the students in the protest. But their ultimate aim was different from the students’. The students were mostly anti-corruption and sought reform of the party, while the three from Hunan sought to overthrow the Communist Party altogether and the installation of a democratic government.〔Yu Zhijian. Remembering Yu Dongyue. 64memo. June 3, 2005. http://64memo.com/b5/15441.htm Accessed: April 9th, 2014.〕 Yu Zhijian and Yu Dongyue had been sending their advice and proclamations to the student leaders, but they received no response.〔Denise Chong. Egg on Mao, A Story of Love, Hope and Defiance. Vintage Canada, 2011, pg 216. ISBN 0307355802.〕 On May 22 the three began planning the defacement of Mao’s portrait after they saw no use talking to the students further. The next day, they bought twenty eggshells, filled them with paint, threw them at the portrait. After the vandalism, they were apprehended by the student security, and were taken to a tent for questions. The three were initially optimistic about meeting with the student leaders and telling them about the symbolic significance of their action. But the students feared that the three were government spies sent to discredit the protesters. The students, in an attempt to quickly distinguish themselves from the vandals, the three from Hunan were sent to the police. After several days of interrogation, they appeared before the judge and receive their respective sentences.
