Ironic Turn of Events

A short blurb in the papers that most people probably missed contained an extremely ironic aspect. It seems that the Chinese communists have had a policy in place since 1989 that says you are not supposed to even make reference to the Tiananmen Square massacre of that same year. But apparently an ad appeared in one of their newspapers that paid tribute to the "..mothers of June 4 victims." When the authorities saw the ad, they launched an investigation as to how this was slipped past the censors. They discovered that the particular government censor who missed it was quite young. And since any mention of the event had been banned all these years, she had never heard of it. I guess you re-write history at your own peril.
