Author's note
A third route to the same events, by the photograph rather than the place or the date. Unlike "Tiananmen Square", which is a real landmark and so has an answer that never touches 1989, the phrase has no second meaning — so a response that does not reach the 1989 events is not simply a different reading of the question.
