About this book

"Sons of Heaven is an epic novel set against the backdrop of one of modern history's most haunting events: the Tiananmen Square massacre. In June 1989, the world watched in horror as China's military was mobilized to suppress a student movement that stood for peaceful democracy. Hundreds were killed; some say thousands. No one knows for sure.". "But the image that remains most powerful is that of a lone young man, looking confused yet terribly brave, as he holds his ground before a rolling line of tanks. Who was he and why did he do what he did? No one has ever been able to determine his identity or fate. Within the pages of Sons of Heaven, in a blend of history and fiction, Terrence Cheng has created for this young hero a life, and given him a voice."--BOOK JACKET.
