http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/761209847

Materials on education, culture, politics, economics and business in the People's Republic of China in the late 1980s, with a focus on the political turmoil in 1989 and the Tiananmen Square protests. The collection is mostly clippings of newspaper articles from China Daily (an English language newspaper published in Beijing, China), Hong Kong newspapers, and newspapers from Washington State. Includes complete editions of China Daily from May 16 to June 6, 1989. Also includes articles on education, culture, politics, economics and business. Includes wall maps, tourist maps, books and booklets on Chinese history, culture, peoples, culinary arts, and folk songs, guidebooks, political pamphlets, and one video on Taiji in the original VHS PAL and a converted NTSC format. The collection was compiled during the first three of four years Claire and Don Egge were teaching and living living in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, along with some material collected during their fourth year, between 1997 and 1999. Largely comprised of newspaper clippings from English-language newspapers from the People's Republic of China, 1987-1990, focusing on political and economic questions and the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. The most important materials are several fragmented posters with large character recording what happened inside the campus of the Heilongjiang Normal University in Northeast China, regarding what had been happening in the capital Beijing. Among them, the fragment of a poster dated 4 June 1989 at 7:30 is rare evidence of that historical event. Also includes general books and pamphlets on Chinese education, culture, politics, economics, and business, maps, and similar material collected by an American couple living and teaching for four years in China.
