"I felt a strange atmosphere. Everything was silent," is how a Western reporter described the moments before the military opened fire, "It was really strange that you couldn't smell any tear gas, and then you heard the pow-pow of rifle fire. They were firing real weapons!"
「我覺得有股奇怪的氣氛，四周沈靜地出奇」，一位西方記者形容軍隊開槍的前幾分鐘，「正奇怪為何聞不到催淚瓦斯味時，就聽到劈啪巨響，他們是真開槍呀！」
