Twenty years have passed since hundreds of thousands of people flooded onto the streets of Beijing and into Tiananmen Square demanding democracy, freedom of speech and an end to corruption. After a seven week standoff, the Communist government called in the troops and a bloody battle pursued. Twenty years on, Al Jazeera speaks to some of those who took part in the world's largest and most influential pro-democracy movement.
