ivities of major student leaders, important events, and unexposed stories about student organizations and their complex decision making. The content of A Tiananmen Journal is based on Feng's Memo of 1989 Student Protests(八九學運備忘錄). Feng wrote the the Memo in 1990. To ensure the details of the activities are in correct order and what he heard from others during the protests are truth, Feng started editing his Memo and adding some footnotes in the following eighteen years which finally became a new book A Tiananmen Journal. This book is largely ignored by the academia because it is banned in China and it is not translated in English. But some bloggers and journalists outside China have some discussions and reviews of the book. Liu Yun, a journalist from Radio Free Asia states that Feng's unadorned description of the protest and his self dissections enhance authenticity and creditability of the book. The publisher of Hong Kong's Suyuan Books and the contemporary Chinese poet Meng Lang indicate that the book is enlightenment and can be a reference for democracy development in Hong Kong. One Taiwanese blogger with the nickname Yuan Zhidan states that Feng's book is useful for clarifying the false rumor of the 1989 Tiananmen Protests because the book combines Feng's memories in detail in 1990 and impersonal footnotes from others' descriptions of the protests. Both subjective and objective descriptions help to restore the truth.
