BEIJING — On April 30, the cellphones of the 32,630 students at Peking
University, a genteel institution widely regarded as one of China’s top
universities, buzzed with a text message from the school
administration. It warned students to “pay attention to your speech and
behavior” on Youth Day because of a “particularly complex” situation.
北京消息-四月三十日，中国首屈一指的大学，北京大学的三万余名学生的手机，都收到一条校务处的短信：由于某些“特别复杂”的形势，要求学生们在五四青年节“管好自己的嘴和手”。

And if a student today proposed a pro-democracy protest?
“People
would think he was insane,” said one Peking University history major in
a recent interview. “You know where the line is drawn. You can think,
maybe talk, think about the events of 1989. You just cannot do
something that will have any public influence. Everybody knows that.”
Most
students also appear to accept it. For 20 years, China’s government has
made it abundantly clear that students and professors should stick to
the books and stay out of the streets. Students today describe 1989 as
almost a historical blip, a moment too extreme and traumatic ever to
repeat.
如果有人说要搞民主示威游行呢？
“人们会说他们有病”北京的一位历史学权威在近日的访谈中如是说“你晓得我们的条条框框：可以想到的，也许你能追忆和谈论1989事件，但是你不能弄的街知巷闻。大家都明白这个。”
大多数的学生也接受这个观点。这二十年来，中国政府已经明确学校师生只能读死书，而不可以走出校门去。今时今日的学生们也大多把1989事件描述为一段不能重蹈覆辙的极端和创痛的历史小插曲。
