From The Washington Post:
They came from the walled compounds of the Communist Party elite and the shantytowns of the disgruntled and dispossessed, from universities and office towers, from villages and cities across China. They came to mourn the death of a man the party had hoped they would forget.
Arriving in sleek sedans and battered taxicabs, by subway and on foot, thousands of Chinese defied a vast cloak of security in the capital and gathered in and around a state cemetery Saturday to honor Zhao Ziyang, the party leader ousted in 1989 for opposing the military assault on pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square.
